Wall of Ideas

Welcome to Safal Niveshak’s Wall of Ideas, where I present hand-drawn illustrations of a few thoughts on investing, learning, decision-making, and living.

The permanent home of these illustrations lies here, where all my future updates will happen.

Sharing the illustrations socially – Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. – would also help spread the word. Thank you!

    After watching your entire work a thought came to my mind like

    Theories give you general human approach, However practical teaches you how human’s dnt follow it.

    Thank you Vishal, all your illustrations have been like pearls of wisdom for DIY investors like me. The fact that they are visual helps the ideas to stick better.

    Probably something that I have been actively trying to understand/implement is capital preservation. For most goals, I have been aggressively investing in equities (retirement, home purchase, child education). However, have not figured out when during the time horizon I need to switch from equity to debt so that my corpus built is not destroyed before/when I need the corpus. What is the best strategy to follow and time when this rebalancing should be done? What are the best instruments? Do all of them have tax implications/LTCG tax on withdrawal.

    Love these illustrations since the time earlier you used to share whenever you might have created on Twitter and your blogs. Thanks now for collaborating and once again sharing. As mentioned in Ideas, you may share some of these illustrations based on the mental models of various disciplines. Such as taking physics (or any other discipline) and draw the learning curve for that discipline as precisely you have done it for History – Ravana and learnings, or Maths and normal distribution.

    Hey Vishal!

    You remind me of the character called Arkad in “The Richest man in Babylon” by George. S Clayson, where he says learning are of two kinds in school, the one kind being the things we learned and knew, the other being the training that taught us how to find out what we did not know. And your’s is the second one! Keep up the noble work. Thanks!

    Thank You!
    Sometime the word “thank you” is also the hardest word, only because gives us a sensation of been too much incomplete to express our gratitude, or more precisely, our conscience that we are in “debt of gratitude” and we have no easy way to return.
    Thank You from Portugal!
    P.S.
    Muito obrigado! (thank you very much, in Portuguese)
    Muito agradecido! (is also the same thing, but I prefer that form)

    I am new to the investing concept but whatever i learned from your blog till now is too good. I have one question which is:

    People talk about Average out your investment(which we normally do by doing SIPS) but what if the stocks in which we want to invest is overvalued. Where should you keep your money. Should we keep it in FD, do recurring or keep in debt funds so that our investment is not impacted by inflation.

    Lots of love. Please consider removing luck-skill continuum graph from wall or put it in proper context. Yes markets are pure luck within a day or a week, but pure skill for long term. Consider this, no amount of bad luck can affect 10 to 20 years unskilled diversified SIP returns for most countries most of history.
