DHirendra Kumar is an experienced vetren at this. A few years back I could not relate to his views since I thought he was very conservative but now I think he was a bit realistic and while I was extremely optimistic (over confident) at that time.

You are right. Earlier those vague discussions looked interesting but now I prefer not to listen to those two sided talk "Will he drink with his right hand. WHo knws he could also use his left one?"

"As an investor, you need to buy a post office scale. When all the reports on a stock or sector are light, it means 'buy'. Conversely, when the weekly reports you receive on an industry add to several kilos then 'sell'! So, after all, brokerage research does have a very useful function but not through its content but weight."

Had I known these things about 10 years back I would have been 20 times more wealthy then what ever I am today!
Let me narrate a very interesting experience. There was a puja in our home a few weeks back and the Pandit ji told me "Ab aap apne guru ka dhyan kar lijiye". Now I am quite a Nastik type of a fellow but still find Om Shivaya's posts quite interesting. But I could think of no one suddenly my mind trained focus on Peter Lynch's photo on One up on Wall Street and I said Dhyan kar liya!
What I am trying to suggest is reading these Gurus day in and day out will mentally cleanse the thoughts. Evil thoughts (day trading, F&O, tips etc) will go away giving space to noble thoughts like long term investing, business model etc.
Thank you Kulmanji for all those effort that you make. I learn newer things every day!

So what you are saying is Sell Flavor of the day and buy the dogs...
This is a similar to the what is called Buy Dogs of the Dow.
The Theory is that All one has to do is buy the worst performing stocks in the DOW 30. This has beaten the market quite a few time. Its sucess rate is directly inverse to its popularity.
Its a contra call.

understanding both the power of compound return and the difficulty getting it is the heart and soul of understanding a lot of things
