Vikram Mansharamani – Liquidity Will Not Always Be There

<p><strong>BIO: </strong>Dr. Vikram Mansharamani is a global trend-watcher who shows people how to anticipate the future, manage risk, and spot opportunities.</p><p><strong>STORY:</strong> Vikram invested in a small commercial condo that he hoped to rent to Ph.D. students, but they weren’t interested. He had to sell it after a few years of no income. He took a 50% loss.</p><p><strong>LEARNING:</strong> Liquidity is not a constant. If the timing of your thesis is off, then you’re wrong. The market can stay irrational longer than you can remain liquid.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><blockquote class="ql-align-center"><strong>“As long as you have liquidity available, or the option to redeploy or invest more, then you’re going to be fine because, over time, investments work out. It’s just getting caught at the wrong time and the wrong illiquid investment that could really hurt you.”</strong></blockquote><blockquote class="ql-align-center">Vikram Mansharamani</blockquote><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Guest profile</h2><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/vikrammansharamani/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Dr Vikram Mansharamani</strong></a> is a global trend-watcher who shows people how to anticipate the future, manage risk, and spot opportunities.
