It would be best to have a Marvel superhero run the bank. One analyst said, and I ultimately agreed.
If we are searching for financial lessons from any comic character, then we can’t forget Captain America, an expert tactician among avengers. He is nothing but an old-fashioned patriot. An army man who fights with having a flag on his chest. It gives us the first lesson. Sometimes being an old fashion is good. There is no need to dip in all Futures and Options and all sorts of Derivatives made up by financial engineering. George Soros also doesn’t understand them, and warren Buffett calls them the Weapon of Mass Destruction. On the other hand, setting up a goal and making your portfolio can always be helpful, even though it looks old-fashioned.
Captain America has not had any superhuman power like flying. He is a Kid from Brooklin, in his word. Yet, his strength, agility, speed, flexibility, endurance, durability, and healing are at the peak of natural human potential. Super soldier serum and ‘vita-ray’ treatment have helped him transform. So How to make this for yourself?
Expose yourself to various sources of financial information. Subscribe to financial publications and blogs. Seek advice from experts and learn from past experiences. These things will help you make informed decisions; you will know when to invest or exit while maximizing profits. Again, the timing is crucial here.
The biggest lesson is to Keep Faith in your fundamentals and ethics. Unethical business is punished in one way or another in markets. If not today, then tomorrow.
Some lessons which we all should learn from Captain America: Winter Solder is that Money and Love don’t mix. Lending money to relatives can make your financial plan Geo-paradise.
Pay close attention to red flags IF Hydra agents can take over S.H.I.E.L.D. Then anything can happen.
Keeping a team is always a good idea. Even though Nick Fury can’t show Faith to anyone, Natasha Romanov and Sam Wilson support the captain in all difficult times. Keep their checking. Keep questioning but don’t obsolete the team as a whole.
In one sentence, being Grandpa sometimes helps and sometimes bad for you. Learn from your mistake—dint mix Love and money. Keeping one strategy ready and making yourself aware of your finance is what we can learn from Captain America.
