What is Investing (And why everyone should do it)

This book introduces investing from first principles. It explains what investing really is, how it differs from speculation, and why understanding capital allocation matters regardless of market conditions.

Rather than focusing on products or strategies, it builds a clear mental framework around risk, time, compounding and decision-making. The goal is to help readers understand why investing is a fundamental skill and how it fits into long-term financial thinking.

This book sets the foundation for the entire Profit Library.

Understanding Risk and Return

This book focuses on how investors actually experience risk and return over time. It explains why returns are uneven, why volatility is not the same as risk, and how drawdowns, uncertainty and time horizons shape real investment outcomes.

Instead of treating risk as a theoretical concept, it examines how different assets behave under stress, how expectations differ from realized returns, and why managing downside is central to long-term success.

The book helps readers develop a more realistic understanding of what risk and return truly mean in practice.

The Power of Compounding

This book explains how compounding works over time and why it is one of the most powerful forces in investing. It goes beyond the mathematical definition to show how small, consistent decisions can lead to disproportionately large outcomes when given enough time.

The focus is on patience, reinvestment, and avoiding behaviors that interrupt the compounding process. It also explores why compounding is often underestimated and how volatility, drawdowns and poor timing can weaken its effect.

This book helps readers understand why time, discipline and consistency matter more than short-term performance.
