Claritech Labs is our blog and is currently running two series: The Second Income Experiment and Investing, Not Rocket Science
"The Second income Experiment": 80–90% of retail traders lose money in the long run. The primary reasons are over leveraging, poor risk management, and lack of a repeatable edge. However, disciplined traders who: limit draw-downs, follow tested strategies, keep detailed journals, and continuously improve… can generate consistent returns—especially if they treat trading like a business, not a lottery.
This series began on 12th May 2025.
"Investing, not rocket science": We hope for this blog series to be a practical guide for the everyday investor. The investment style presented here is active management of the portfolio, that is not to say there may not be any buy and holds in the portfolio. Investments are likely to be held in the portfolio as long as there is perceived value in them and if market sentiment is conducive. This series began on 14th February 2023.
Some of the principles of investing presented here:
-
Always do your research from fairly reliable resources.
-
Invest only in what you understand.
-
Think long term.
-
Avoid unnecessary leverage.
-
Manage risk.
-
Keep yourself informed about developments that may impact your portfolio.
At times, we may use Technical Analysis
What is it? In 2020: Sharp fall in the financial markets (Q1) followed by a strong rally from the lows for the rest of the year while fundamentals were still deteriorating due to a global pandemic. A nearly forgotten contributor to movements in financial markets is the sentiment of market participants, which is usually represented by price action and volume. Technical Analysis is the study of financial markets through the use of charts (price action and volume) to forecast future price trends.
In addition to fundamental analysis, it provides an alternative to understanding market movements. Check out the Tutorial pages on the Blog to know more.
