The Four Cardinal Sins of Investing

1. Avoid using your real name, so you don't get entangled in karmic ties.

2. Avoid direct financial dealings with others,

3. Never hide the process

Your funds should always flow through a single account, one that is permanently handed over to a supervisor. Remind him constantly to keep an eye on things and spot any mistakes.

Every time he reviews it, you become a little safer.

Because his scrutiny serves, from another angle, as proof of your legitimacy.

You're constantly obtaining new certifications, just like you'd renew your business license.

If you repeatedly refuse to show anyone anything, keep things hidden, or juggle multiple accounts to dodge inspections…

You may stay out of sight for a while. But when everything eventually comes back to haunt you, you'll have no endorsements or backing at all.

4. Don't lose sight of where you stand

The first thing a smart person does is get their position right.

Clarifying your intent is the most basic and important work a person can do.

It means letting everyone see exactly what you want.
