Lyrics

They call the market a wicked trade,
A place where hope drifts, calm yet wild.
My first rule is simple — never lose a dime,
Second rule is, to keep that in mind.
While crowds rush by, patient you must be,
That's how to spot value, wait and see.
When others are fearful, stay brave and bold,
Invest with conviction, let the story unfold.
Best time to plant a tree was years ago,
Second best is now, let your capital grow.
If you love a business, truly know,
Take that first stake, watch the earnings show.
While crowds rush by, patient you must be,
That's how to spot value, wait and see.
When others are fearful, stay brave and bold,
Invest with conviction, let the story unfold.
Greatest fools are those who trade with fear.
My strongest belief is to hold forever.
A gentle shade lies beyond the market gloom,
Your safe haven is bound to bloom.
Stick with the plan, keep the wisdom you hold.
Don't count on market, trust the rules of old.
When tide climbs high or waters lie low,
The most important investment is… the one you know.
Anima — The Most Important Investment

The song has a book.

Every chapter of Anima: The Most Important Investment was built around a single line of this song. The reader who reaches the last page will have read the whole verse — and then can hear it sung.

Part nautical parable, part field guide to the investor's mind. The story of a young man, a captain, and a voyage that changes what it means to truly know what you hold.

"The sea is the market. The storm is fear.
The ship is everything he does not yet know he is carrying."

About

The song came first. It arrived the way most things of real consequence arrive — not as an idea but as a line, heard somewhere between waking and sleep, already complete.

The book and the song were written by the same hand. Whether that hand belongs to the person you believe it to be is a question this page will not answer.

The most important investment is the one you know.
