That's what I posted somewhere else: It is very difficult to understand and determine "who am I?". Mostly they end up buying high and selling low.

I completly believe that... That is why i believe "EveryThing works"

OK Sir!! Everything Works!!
The point is guys buy at fancy valuations and would never sell thinking that it is a value-buy. They see that high-profile investors are still holding not knowing that those guys acquired it at 1/10th of their cost!!!
Besides, I came across many such peole who would borrow to buy (immitate high-profile's portfolio in to-to), and in the end sell low to meet margin calls. Of course due to such guys, we sometimes get "mouth-watering bargains" (this term is a borrowed one!) even in this bull run.
Again coming back to that Sprite or 7-up Ad: DIKHAVE PE MAT JAO, APNI AKAL LAGAO!!!

Well said Bubblevision. That Buffet talk introduces me to a new perspective each day whether it is on compensation or RoE or avoiding businesses.

The most important quality for an investor is temperament,not intellect.A temperament that neither derives great pleasure from being with the crowd nor against it

Thanks friends for your kind words. Though I'm playing role of a mere Daakiya (postman).
