It was 4 pm at a plush Wealth Management office in Nariman Point, Mumbai.
Arjun, 40 years old, a high-frequency trader from London, walked in straight from the airport. He was wearing a bespoke suit and carried two iPhones that buzzed incessantly with market alerts. His father, Vishwanath, a retired government clerk, had passed away a week ago.
Arjun looked at his watch. "I have exactly forty minutes. I need to liquidate my father’s portfolio, sign the probate documents, and head back to the airport. I have a major opening on the London Stock Exchange tomorrow."
Vikram, the family’s long-time financial consultant, sat across from him. He had a thick file ready on the desk.
"Arjun, your father was a very disciplined man," Vikram said softly. "He started investing with me thirty years ago."
Arjun tapped his fingers on the mahogany table. "I’m sure he was. But let’s be realistic—he was a clerk. How much could he have saved? Five lakhs? Ten? Just give me the total Net Asset Value (NAV). I’ll sign the papers, and you can wire the money to my UK account. I don’t have time for a presentation."
Vikram didn't open the digital spreadsheet. Instead, he handed Arjun a small, old-fashioned leather diary and a single envelope.
"Your father told me that on the day you come to 'collect' your inheritance, I should give you this first. He said the numbers won't make sense without the words."
Arjun sighed, visibly annoyed, but opened the envelope. The handwriting was shaky, the ink slightly faded.
"Dear Arjun,
I know you are looking at your watch right now. I know you are calculating the 'opportunity cost' of sitting in this office instead of a trading floor.
Son, I watched you grow up. I watched you turn into a man who knows the price of everything but the value of nothing. You always told me, 'Dad, money makes money.' But you forgot that money is also supposed to buy time.
In this folder, you won't find a massive fortune. You will find something else. I have invested in 'Time.'
Every year, instead of buying a bigger car or a luxury watch, I bought 'Freedom.' I have cleared the mortgage on our ancestral home. I have set aside a fund that yields exactly what you earn in a month in London. I did this so that if one day you felt tired—if your heart felt heavy from the race—you could stop.
I didn't invest so you could become richer. I invested so you could afford to be 'Poor' for a while and spend time with your daughter, the way you couldn't spend with me.
The compounding I cared about wasn't just interest. It was the compounding of memories. Please, don't liquidate this. Use the dividends to buy a Sunday afternoon. Use the principal to buy a peaceful sleep.
Your father, who always had enough because he had you."
Arjun stopped tapping the table. The buzzing of his iPhones suddenly felt like noise, not signals.
He looked at the portfolio. It wasn't billions, but it was enough. It was a safety net woven out of thirty years of his father’s sacrifices—small SIPs, avoided luxuries, and quiet discipline.
His father hadn't been building a "Portfolio"; he had been building a "Prison Break" for his son.
The phone in Arjun’s hand vibrated again. A "Sell" alert. Arjun looked at it for a long second, then turned the phone face down.
"Vikram," Arjun’s voice was thick. "I’m not liquidating anything today."
"Are you going to miss your flight?" Vikram asked.
Arjun looked at the old leather diary, where his father had noted down every dividend he ever received, alongside notes like "Arjun’s 10th birthday—bought 10 extra shares today."
"The market will open tomorrow without me," Arjun said, a tear finally hitting the glass of his expensive watch. "But my daughter’s childhood won't wait for a bull market."
The Lesson
In the world of investing, we often obsess over CAGR, Alpha, and Portfolio Diversification. We treat money as a scoreboard to prove we are winning.
But the greatest return on investment (ROI) isn't more money—it is Autonomy. * Real Wealth is the ability to say "No" to a job you hate or a meeting you don't want to attend.
True Legacy isn't leaving behind a pile of cash; it's leaving behind the gift of "Time" for those you love.
Don't just invest to retire. Invest so that your loved ones don't have to sacrifice their soul for a paycheck.
1. Stop buying Russian oil.
2. Zero tariffs on US industrial imports and some agricultural imports
3. Commitment to buy $500B over five years rather than $200B we do currently
4. In return, get slapped with 18% tariff ( some goods like generic Pharma & others exempt)
Anyways, we don’t have any bargaining chips. Whatever keeps the trade going 👍
You can choose to sell a 100pt away or 2000pt away option. That is completely your call.
But you still need a solid reason backed by your market reading.
If you skip that part & get comfortable selling far otms just because they look safe especially calls, the market will eventually remind you. And when it does, a single move can wipe out everything you built over the entire year.
Respect the market risk always.
@InvesysCapital I’m long since 6500-7500 levels in physical, now my costing is above 10,500. Though I kept on trading in between. Literally tested my patience.🥲 @InvesysCapital
Planning to do an MBA?
The minimum cost for an MBA from an average college is around ₹16–18 lakhs. Even after completing it, the maximum salary you might get is ₹40–45K per month. It will take you 2–3 years just to recover the cost of your fees (not including other expenses or inflation).
So, if you’re doing an MBA just for the sake of getting a job or a salary increment, talk to your financial advisor before you do it.

I think the saturation point of *SYSTEMATIC* trading of short gamma is reached imo.
Play different games, folks.
