Capital Preservation: Why Survival Comes First
Here's the hard truth about investing: you can't compound what you've lost. While everyone chases the next big winner, the smartest investors obsess over one thing—not losing money.
Think of your capital like oxygen. You can go weeks without food, days without water, but only minutes without air. Your investment capital works the same way. Lose 50% and you need a 100% gain just to break even.
Warren Buffett's first rule? Don't lose money. His second rule? Don't forget rule number one. This isn't about being scared—it's about being smart.
The market rewards patience, not bravado.
Before you swing for the fences, ask yourself: can I afford to strike out? Because in investing, surviving the game means you get to play another day.
Protect your capital first. Growth comes second. Always.
