You would have made tons of money had you bought these companies the first time you bought their products.

Please post in further ideas on what we can buy today to feel proud of ourselves tomorrow.

No. You are missing the point. WHat I said was "the first time you saw it" and not when ever we feel like buying it. true you would have lost a fortune in all internet stocks had you bought it in 1999 or 2000 but had you bought it the first time you saw it probably in 1997 or early 1998 I am sure you would have not done that  badly but made money instead. And these are only guidelines one must always put the regular company analysis tools to work.

My wife’s Shopping list

Well she is well versed in English but a very sincere housewife and sometimes unhappy about my passion for CNBC TV 18 or BBC. And she treats my computer as my first wife and she is the second!

Last Sunday she gave me a list to shop from our daily usable

Our daily life and daily commodities

Morning it starts with brushing teeth with Pepsodent- Hindustan Lever.

She takes bath with a new Shampoo of MARICO.

My wife asks to run the VCD preferably Tom and Jerry so that our kids can get up smilingly. CDs are of SAREGAMA

After bath she switch on the Gas burner made by Jyoti Ltd

Tea for me with TATA TEA, and coffee for her TATA COFFEE too.  I find instead of cow milk she prefers to make the TEA with NESTLE milk powder and what I like comparatively (as she told)

She makes breakfast with MAGGIE NOODLES (a staple food for me and my kids (again NESTLE).

I take batch and I like LIFEBOUY again Hindustan Lever

After breakfast we go for Sunday vegetable market

We like our CAR of MARUTI and that too a small MARUTI 800.

Sometime I fill the car with Power petrol from HPCL

My wife prefers to make Palak Mushroom. Asked me whether any company in my stocks makes this (mushroom) or not. I told her may be one company known as AGRO DUTCH is making. But I do not track it. She orders me to track the same.

I start watching TV and the service provider is dishtvindia.com. Though we do not watch much of ZEE channels but I am not sure whether POGO has a tie up with ZEE or not. If so then POGO is mostly viewed channel in my house. Above all the dishtv is fantastic no problem of getting signals. ZEE is good, we tell ourselves.

We plan to visit INOX in evening.

And we have changed all our electrical with CFL lights to restrict electricity. I think those are from Havells India only but I did not tell her because she will ask me not to sell the same at least for two years.
