Absolutely Rich Dad poor Dad 1st book is a must read for anyone ..Arouses the need in the reader to make the money work..
Often we forget there's a company behind every stock,and there's only one reason why stocks go up. Companies go from doing poorly to doing well or small companies grow to large companies.

Like 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad' fame Robert Kiyoski would say.. Financial Education should be part of our schools & colleges....
By that time.. I hope all TED'ians would have made their financial future secure and be out of the sensex impending big crash and sipping martini in sunny Hawaii..
CBSE has introduced Financial markets course in their 12 STD syllabus.Crash can happen anytime.Nobody has imagined last May such a big crash will happen in Indian markets.I m sure people not investing in equity will wake up.

I am refering to the big crash at end of the long bull market ( the likes of 1929 crash or Japan crash after it touched 40K), not the smaller crashes in middle of a bull market..
Of course no one can say which is which.. But hopefully the shoe shining boy can tell ;-)

Infact Retail is currently in the market by dribs and drabs mostly through Sip's and other things ....The most dearth of retail is felt in a bear market (measured in terms of years and NOT days) where a lack of Retail leaves mostly Professional's against one another to make money. That creates a lot of spreads on Bid and ask's and makes it difficult for big orders to go through due to lack of liqudity.

I will once again quote what Samir Arora said "The biggest losers last year were the retail investors who did not believe in their own country"

The crux of the matter is investor education & changing the general perception about Equities.
That's says everything .I am the only investor in my family and those few who are in the stock market are purely speculators and doing day trading .None of them knew who is Warren Buffett or Benjamin Graham and their source of inspiration is their neighbor or office friend who made a quick buck in the stock market and that is exactly they are in for .
