𝐍𝐞𝐰𝐭𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐬 𝐝𝐮𝐦𝐛, 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲.

We don’t mean to disparage the name of the smartest man to walk on the face of Earth, but we heard something about him and we think you should too.

The man who discovered gravity, theorised the laws of motion and ruined the lives of students with calculus, was just as naive and impulsive as you and we are.

Apparently, Newton took a major beating in a #stockmarket bubble some 300 years ago. According to archives dug out by a mathematics professor, Newton was an early investor in South Sea stock.

In a nutshell without getting into the details of it, Newton made a hefty profit of some £𝟐𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎 from South Sea holding initially, which amounts to millions and millions of dollars in the current market.

So when did things go South? Sea what we did there?

When everyone started following the trend and the prices gassed up. Owing to 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐝 𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲, our homeboy #Newton went into the bubble when it was at its peak. When it popped, it hit so hard, it might as well have led to the discovery of gravity.

So, what are we getting at? Newton was a smart cookie, but he was just like us. He was driven by emotions despite being a poster boy for Sharma ji ka ladka.

Emo and #FOMO aren’t taking you anywhere.

Do your own research. The market isn’t loyal to anyone.
