Strategic “Optionalities”  is the secret of successful investors, entrepreneurs and organizations. Reactive cutting loss or investors who switch between strategies are the bane of those that strive (and fail) to get what they want. And most people do just that. They quit (cut losses) when it’s painful and stick when they can’t be bothered to when the fundamentals of the markets have changed. 
There are two curves that define almost any type of situation facing you as you try to grow your portfolio. (A couple of minor curves cover the rest. Understanding the different types of situations that lead you to cut losses prematurely). Understanding the different types of situations that lead you to cut loss or quit- is the first step toward getting what you want.

If you treat the future to take a definite form, it makes sense to understand the real estate investing game in advance and work to shape it. But if you think the future is dark and uncertain, you won't even attempt to work towards mastering it.

Time is your most valuable asset and it is not renewable. With hindsight, we know that real estate investing when done properly can provide a steady stream of income and to me the ultimate purpose of investing, when done right, can give you the freedom to not do the things you don't want to do. For me, the ultimate purpose of money is that you don't have to be in a specific place, a specific time doing the things you hate to do.

What if you knew how the largest Hedge Fund manager in the World thinks and what they were really like starting from zero? Ray Dalio makes the business case for his '3 secrets' building Bridgewater Associate to the largest hedge fund in the world with a net worth of $18.7Bn. by Forbes in 2019. 

And the difference between education how the Chinese "top down" approach to raising a child and the American "bottoms up" way of raising a child.

Now let get into a controversial topic, diversification when it comes to investing, is Ray Dalio more diversified, when we look at how Ray Dalio set up his portfolio , its not as niche as other players. In 1986, the Chinese has increased their income by 26 times. They gone from 2% GDP to 22% GDP. Poverty rate in China when from 88% to 1% in 2019 and increased life expectancy by 10 years.  

 Reduce risk without reducing reward. There is a common misconception in investing that, if you are reducing the risk , you are also potentially reducing the returns . And the secret is , this is the most high paying skillset to have on Wall Street. 
Say if we use Dalios formula , Bridgewater has like 1,500 employees . Say if the average listener to this podcast has a formula that Dalio has, what edge do Bridgewater has that somebody else has whether they are an individual investor or a hedge fund manager, is it discipline? Is It patience? 

When Jesse Livermore loses his money, and basically goes bankrupt, he comes back and he can only trade on thing at one time and he has to be right, if he is wrong is basically completely done.
If he is right he gets a bigger trade line , if you kind of think about it it is , I would take a great trade, back in the beginning, I will superbly making sure that everything is lining up. 
To be completely having your game plan, and have the discipline, to survive you have to have the absolute game plan, making sure it meets all your trade criteria before you put on the trade. 
We might have traded a thousand options a day, it was so extreme, and the price of SPX should have gone up, everybody was increasing their implied volatility . The market at this time at this time were fairly crazy, and they were using the options markets to hedge their bets, and a real theme was starting to occur, the thing they way I think about it , when things that should happen , do not happen, there is so much noise in the trading floor, you will just hear noise, and in that, some of that is valuable information.
