Thank you for the good exercise that you did of making a distinction between negotiations and bargaining. The difference is strikingly clear and thanks for making it so.
While I agree that the investment may not give much return by way of rent, the appreciation in the land on which it is situated goes on increasing. While “the fool” may be given a poor hand-out in terms of return, the actual return could be high indeed, if the land value is monetized years, say by way of sale, later on. Of course todays flats and apartments may not give the expected rise that an individual house property may have. Indeed in many cases the return could turn negative in such cases especially if the time value of money is concerned. I know of many people who are making a killing by selling of the land. Of course, I agree that in most cases it may be “the fool’s” legal heirs who gets the real benefits and actually laugh all their way to the bank. But then there is the also the need to diversify the different investments too instead of putting all the eggs in one basket.
Thank you Shahji. You are very right when you say that the underlying land appreciates over time and to that extent the fool who built the house may be wiser than one would imagine.
Dear Sir, Thanks for sharing insight on so many topics like Data privacy, Black swan, Governance accomodating strategy (Reminded me of MSA and SOW),etc . Though I have not sipped all your filter coffee's but some of them interests me because of my professional connect. You have in a very simple way put this across for a common reader to savour the coffee. I look forward to some of the topics like Secure thinking (phishing, vishing,etc) Risk management (partially covered in Black Swan) to create awareness among the readers. Please continue to share your thoughts and many of the topics you have covered were 1st time for me, which created awareness and also put smile on my face.
Subtle and yet a realistic value proposition. Thank you!
