The art of selling

The other day I was reading a book on investments - Contrarian Investment strategies. It reminded me of the day I had tried reading "Gone with the Wind" during high school days. There were too many characters and nothing went into my head. I dropped out at around 110 pages. Now I am at the 60th page on this book and its giving me the same kind of creeps. Too many variables to comprehend. Infact the author mentions that stock markets are full of complex variables which cannot be comprehended by a human brain and this is where everybody ranging from experts to retail investors fail (trying to time the market). Little would he have realised that his book is going to be full of such variables which would be tuff to comprehend (chuckle!!). Anyways its a do or die situation for me with respect to stock markets. I have to tame the markets to get me to the super riches. Hence I stayed on with the book. But offcourse skipping most of the sentences and trying to skim out the important parts. But I am not getting what I am looking for. I want to know when to sell a stock, how many days to hold it? But this book doesnt seem to tell me anything of that sort. Everybody knows when to buy a stock. Low P/E, Low book values, high cash flows. But when do we sell? Anybody has any idea?

Environment Freindly..

These days all talks are about environment. Environment friendly vehicles, Environment friendly machines, Environment friendly campuses, Environment friendly bikinis (This is amongst the latest news I have heard). Guess Thai bikinis are made of Fish skin and offcourse we need to get rid of these bikinis as they are not environment friendly. Imagine if these bikinis start rotting in your cupboard or worst while wearing them. But the best of all inventions till date and the most environment friendly of them all i'll tell you has been what is dubbed as the "Father of all bombs" (chuckle!!). Isnt it great that we as a human race have matured so much that even while making bombs and artillery we think of mother earth. It doesnt matter that the bombs when used can cause catastrophic results. But they are offcourse environment friendly. Its just that they'll wipe out any living being on earth. thereby leaving no environment at all.

Crazy Me

Its been one whole year since I myself visited this page. I don't know if its a problem with Gemini or if its with me but I tend to lose interest in everything that I start off with. I got a couple of requests from friends to continue writing but I just couldn't put my brain to so much trouble. Unexpected was the fact that even a request from a gorgeous babe did not ignite the passion to blog. Main apne marzi ka malik hoon and here I am blogging again trying to fight off the Gemini trademark.
