Stood in SIHS Colony this week. Red soil on the shoes first. Then a blue shed, a grey lean-to, houses on a 20+ ft public road.
The 30+ ft road you arrived on is behind you. That is the one people photograph.
Companies on the next street are a neighbour pattern.
They are not permission sitting on your file.
If you only shoot the main road, you are selling a picture of a place.

Rich people buy assets that generate cash.
Middle class buys liabilities they think are assets.
Poor people buy expenses.
The cycle repeats until you break the definition of what you own.
In 1995, a single trader lost $1.3 Billion and single handedly bankrupted a 233-year-old bank in just 5 days.
He wasn't stupid. He was caught in a classic mental trap that destroys smart investors every day.
Here is how Nick Leeson broke Barings Bank and how to avoid the same fate:
4. The Collapse
By the time management realized what was happening, Leeson had lost $1.3 Billion. Barings Bank, the bank that funded the Napoleonic Wars and catered to the British Royal Family was sold for £1.
5. The 3 Rules to Immune Yourself from This Trap:
Define your exit BEFORE you enter: Set hard stop losses when your mind is calm, not when you're in a panic.
Kill the Sunk Cost Fallacy: Money already lost is gone. Never throw good capital after bad.
Separate Ego from Equity: Admitting a small mistake today saves you from financial ruin tomorrow.
What’s the hardest lesson you’ve learned about cutting a loss early?
Capital protection is not about avoiding every loss.
It is about never being forced to take a loss at the worst possible time.
That one difference changes everything.
Most people protect capital by buying safe assets.
That’s not protection. That’s just rearranging the furniture while the house is on fire.
Real capital protection starts with one boring question: what is the single biggest way this money can go to zero in the next 5 years?
Write that answer down. Then build the rest around it.
