“Investors Are Gambling Now And Not Really Doing Investing” — Didi-Omah Supported American Investor Warren Buffett

If you ask me now, I will tell you that there is only few true investors. I mean investor with great vision, positive philosophy, good intentions aside profits. They know they will make profit but not immediately. Don't invest in a company because the numbers are going up, that can be manipulated to get more investors pool in their money to fund their anything.

Numbers does not really mean the company is doubling up good. Sometimes it is fragile and can easily drop down with force. When a company is in distress, I think that's the best time to invest in the company. And grow the company gradually to the topmost top. Little by little, let your investments grow. A great investment is one that is hold overtime in a good company of value.

I will say that we have more gamblers disguise as investors. They don't care about positive philosophy, they focus on immediate profits. “I am looking for a business or venture that I will make profits” — that's what we are seeing now as hungry investors. Any small break, they pulled out the money and hold you legally responsible for the breaks.

Like one of my investments coach and teacher, Warren Buffett, said that now investors gambles and not really investing — yes, that's the truth. A true investor look at the long-run, look at the problem the company is addressing in the society, look at the philosophy building the company, look at the purpose that is driving the company. When these are looked upon, and the money is push into the venture — even if the company doesn't pick up in the first three to five years; since they are still on the vision and mission statement. Definitely they will scale up in the long-run.

Now not so, we all have gamblers, and you cannot invest your money into my venture if you have that kind of mindset. I am privileged to spend five years in investment and have been tutored by great investors of time. So I know very well, what I am saying. Now we don't have investors, we have gamblers in the business world in the clothing of investors.

Executive, that's why you see business closing up in five to ten years after little pick up — because the said investors are pulling out their money and moving to a fast delivery business of yearly revenues. We must be careful with our finances. I will advise small business owners to focus on growing their business, scale their products, and build a strong personal brand around their business.

In so doing, they have stand to win in ten years time. When high profile investors see their business, they can joyfully join the train. Because they have seen the lights. That's the only way to escape fall after investors pull their money out, in purse of their own interest. If your philosophy and intentions does not align with my company's purpose and vision — I will turn you down. Because we are not begging for your money, and you are not doing us any favour. That's the reality of me, and I love it. 

Executive, it is better to avoid the road that lead to the pit now; then to fall into it in the long race towards in actualizing the vision you started with before being into business. Because of some investors left the desk or votes for your company sales to a mega stock holder. Wisdom is profitable to direct.
