Waiting for a Bear Market 5

Waiting for a Bear Market

Today I came across a interesting post by Dev Ashish at Stable Investor about why a investor (especially if he is young) should yearn for a bear market than a bull market.

Fire your Financial Advisor? 1

Fire your Financial Advisor?

In today’s Mint, Monika Halan has a post titled “When to fire your financial adviser“.

Conflict of Advise

We generally do not like being told what to do, especially in areas where we believe we know better than most other guys and definitely know better than the Charlie with the attitude who thinks he can advise me on how I can invest better. In my own extended family, most of those I know pretty closely have done way...

Importance of Defense 1

Importance of Defense

Offense is what we like, Defense is what saves us and in between the two lies the gulf of survival and failure. If you are a Cricket fan, you would have at the very least kept score of what is happening at the IPL. At the start of the tournament, one of the strongest contenders have been Royal Challengers, Bangalore...
