The Wrong Thing to Fear
Investor Safal Niveshak released his new hardcover, *The Long Game*, featuring reflections from 30 seasoned investors on building wealth over decades. The essay uses a turbulent monsoon flight to illustrate how investors often fear external market "weather" while ignoring the small, solitary decisions that truly drive outcomes. By comparing market crashes to Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) accidents, the author argues that disciplined, margin‑protected choices are the real safety net. The book is now available for purchase on the Safal Niveshak website.
