After I was a boy, my grandmother saved a small plant on her windowsill. I don’t bear in mind what plant it was, however I bear in mind she watered it each morning, the identical manner, at roughly the identical time. I bear in mind asking her as soon as why she didn’t simply water it lots as soon as per week and recover from with it. She checked out me like I had stated one thing unusual, and stated, “Son, that’s not the way it works.”
I take into consideration that lots.
Some issues have their very own tempo, and also you don’t get to barter with them.
I’ve been writing at Safal Niveshak for nearly fifteen years now, and most of what I’ve realized in that point has landed in some model of that sentence.
Constructing wealth takes time. Studying to assume clearly takes time. Studying individuals, studying your self, and even studying a steadiness sheet with out mendacity to your self about what you see…all of it takes time. None of it occurs shortly. And but we stay in a world that retains pushing us to measure ourselves each few weeks and each few months, and towards people who find themselves additionally measuring themselves each few weeks and each few months. Virtually no one appears to be taking part in the lengthy sport. And those who’re, have a tendency to finish up with lives price taking note of.
That’s the concept that has adopted me round for a very long time. It’s the concept behind the e-book I simply completed writing — The Lengthy Recreation, which is a group of thirty investing practitioners reflecting on what persistence, course of, and lengthy horizons have taught them. And it’s the concept behind the present I’m relaunching right now.
The present you’ve been watching as The One % Present now has a brand new identify. It’s referred to as The Lengthy Recreation.
Nothing substantial concerning the present has modified. It’s nonetheless me. It’s nonetheless lengthy conversations with individuals who have spent a long time pondering fastidiously about investing and life. The archive isn’t going anyplace. The conversations you’ve already cherished are nonetheless there.
What has modified is the identify. The One % Present was a title I picked when the present began, and the concept behind it was easy: turning into one p.c higher each day by compounding small enhancements throughout years into one thing significant. I nonetheless imagine in that concept. I write about it typically. However over time, because the conversations on the present received longer and deeper, I began to really feel that the identify wasn’t fairly carrying what the present had change into. The perfect conversations weren’t actually about every day incremental enchancment however have been about individuals who had stayed with one thing troublesome for a very long time, individuals who had performed an extended sport in markets and of their lives, and had one thing to say about it.
Each concepts—”one p.c” and “lengthy sport”—are about compounding. However one is concerning the every day observe, and the opposite is concerning the lengthy arc. As I saved recording the present, I realised the conversations have been touchdown extra on the lengthy arc than on the every day observe. So the identify is catching as much as that.
The primary episode of the brand new present is a dialog with Vinod Sethi.
Vinod spent over thirty years in Indian markets. He was the India head of Morgan Stanley Funding Administration within the Nineties, and since then has been investing his personal capital, educating, and fascinated with markets in a manner that only a few individuals do. I recorded this dialog with him in August 2025 whereas engaged on the e-book.
Vinod talks about:
- Ache, persistence, and intention because the three belongings you truly management in investing and in life.
- Why laborious work has nearly nothing to do with returns.
- Return on time mattering greater than return on cash.
- Studying individuals somewhat than spreadsheets.
- The age we stay in — which, Vinod argues, shouldn’t be an age of ignorance however an age of stupidity, and why that’s truly factor if you understand how to see it.
- The market as guru, as mirror, as sadhana.
It’s among the best conversations I’ve had on this present. I hope it finds you at a time when you may sit with it correctly.
