It is very easy to make 10 baggers from positions that you can afford to lose but making a 10 bagger from a position that you cannot afford to lose is the trick that we all learn in this market. |
Sir, however one says, we do need luck in this market.......am yet to come across an investor who started at the peak of a bull market and has been very very successful.....we need careful initial steps and that is only facilitated in doldrums periods when you find value lying everywhere....affordability to lose is a very terrible term...and wont like to comment on them.....
As far as shadow boxing goes, it actually is shadow boxing.... the real game is very very tough......50 baggers in 5 years in a bull market is like sa standing on the roof of the world and looking at the sun above and trying to catch it like a ball. Attempt it to get the real fun, guys.....

1) Luck is something which I do not believe in and my definition of luck is when hard work meets opportunity
2) Anyone who starts at the top of the bull market is stupid not unlucky. I was stupid in 2000 but certainly not unlucky because had I been unlucky I would not have learnt some real hard lessons.
3) People do catch the ball looking at the sun without sunglasses! But the idea is to stay focused. You cannot catch 10 balls dropping from the sun but you can catch one or at most two at a time.That is what I want to elaborate.

but in an attempt to catch that ball if both of your leg go up in the air, then you may get the ball but what will happen next is something I dont need to say...do you remember sir at St Xavier's, we had an accounts professor, infact in our times he was the head of the department,Mr. T.K.Roy.....he once said.... in life, all problems have just one catch, if you catch the catch, its alright, but of you dont catch the catch, the catch will catch you!!!!I think same goes with equities....

Luck: This is a random and arbitrary topic and makes no sense to discuss- at least to me.I do not think that luck has any bearing on a person's destiny. Coming to your analogy of actching a ball and falling..... I have nothing to say except that we have our own ways of investing.
