Who are the avengers? Why is there a craze for Marvel and not that much for DC? There are many reasons, but one is Avengers are just people like you and me. They are not gods. But still, their action makes them a hero. Black Widow is not someone different than this.
Natasha Romanov, A Russian agent trained as a spy, martial artist, and sniper and outfitted with an arsenal of high-tech weaponry, including a pair of wrist-mounted energy weapons dubbed her “Widow’s Bite.” But is there any other thing that makes her special?
Black widow was one trained spy and assassin. The thing which we can learn from her is a risk. Her business is full of danger. But she handled it well consistently. Whether it is 2012 New York or the second Ironman movie. When planning for our finance, there is always a risk attached to it. That is why the term ALPHA is essential in the investment world. The reason why all people tell you about the long term is the same that we distribute the risk over time. It tells us the importance of a portfolio as we are reducing the trouble with the combination of any securities.
Risk can be subject to a lengthy blog post. There are many types of risk: systemic, systematic, and more. We can hedge some bets. We cant hedge some risks. Making the risk zero will ake your return to a Risk-free rate which is nothing but the rate of return on government bonds or treasury yield. For more return, you need to take more risks.
Here I want to mention that equal risk loss is a myth. I explained this in my one blog post. Click here
The reason mutual funds are preferred is the same as the reason, Avengers a successful than one single hero. So Whenever I see Avengers or justice league, I can see a perfect portfolio making some return for the investor. But here, I want to mention that over-diversification is the worst. If you add 100 stocks, then it may not perform well.
I heard somewhere that spies are known for their failure. Natasha Romanov is known for her inability when Loki read her brain and mentioned her failure and the way she was killing people. In real life, it is the same. We need to remember our failures and need to learn from them. Then, we might find a good team.
Like Natasha mentioned in the First Avengers movie, Clint barton was on the mission to kill her, but he takes another call. Unfortunately, Mr. Market will give you many chances if you are an investor. So we need to keep our capital safe.
Another similarity between her and investing is that she was introduced late and not a significant character. But as MCU fans know, she ended up becoming the principal character. The lesson here is don’t be in a hurry. Build a portfolio. Make positions. Take your time. Ignore what everyone else is doing.
