Right Brain, Left Brain Investing
How does the concept of right brain/left brain investing work? Your right brain has the foresight to identify some of the mega trends that are shaping our future. This could be the movement to make the global vehicle fleet completely electric by mid-century. Or sustainable energy’s increasing momentum toward replacing fossil fuels. Or the inexorable tide of innovation that’s driving economic progress. This emotional component excites and motivates people to want to participate in the vision of societal and economic changes.
The rational left side of brain provides the disciplined thought process that helps put those notions into action. What are the best companies to invest within these themes? When is the best time to buy them?
The right and left sides of the brain work in tandem. Together, they help investors identify their vision and passions, and can point them in the right direction to realize those dreams whether they pertain to the state of humanity, the future of the planet or, closer to home, personal goals regarding their own financial future. What’s your vision?
