Context vs Content

1) Imagine Beer being served in wine glasses

2) Imagine going to funeral wearing colored clothes

3) These are examples where the quality of Beer or Designer Clothes fall flat

4) Content makes no sense when out of context

5) Out of context is being inappropriate

6) Context and Content go hand in hand

7) Our belief system, our values, our purpose, our age, our liabilities etc makes up our context

8) Therefore ‘what is a good investment’ has no answer without understanding the context

9) Equities today may be ok if one is starting a small SIP but may not be ok if one has a large Lumpsum to invest

10) Equities may be ok for a young person but may not be ok for an elderly person

11) Debt may not serve its purpose for a poor man but may be perfect for a rich man

12) A Financial Strategy is like making tailor made clothes which fit you perfectly well

13) Quality of fabric is content but if it does not fit you then it serves no purpose because it is out of context

14) Therefore when it comes to your Investment never compare your strategy with that of others because your context and theirs are different
