Its ben, i dunno, 2 or 3 months since i even thought of blogging :) The last couple have been lame ass, football fixtures :), and frankly the fucken game, rooney, ronaldo & his bunch are beginning to bore me. Maybe im growing up !
First up - one thing that somewhat peeved me a bit. (I read hari's post about his 'article' (ahem, no pun intended) in some actech mag, which was supposed to av been released with Chemfluence this year.
Some junior guy who had been organizing it kept calling me for advice, contacts & money. I gave him some gyaan (of course, thats free), a few contacts and no money. I feel bad now in retrospect, mebbe i shud av sent him 10 - 15 G. But somehow, call me a miser or whatever, i felt no association with the damned place & absolutely NO sense of affiliation whatsoever.
Funny, like, i was one of those guys in college who used to shoot crap (or atleast listen to) about how actech is a pathetic pigsty & how no ones contributing to add value and all. Now see what i do :)
But somehow, i feel no fucken sense of attachment/responsibility whatever. Although I feel bad, fucken really bad about not contributing even little money.
I guess like Suraj used to say, i am a 'Selfish b#@$@$@' who does not care a quid about anything apart from my own personal agenda.
But hey, while i feel like shit for not helping those guys, i still feel strongly about spending 10 - 15 G just like that - and i feel so even strongly now after ive been seeing how REALLY difficult it is to make any kinda money.
Coming to money - the sensex went up 500 came down 600 and then went back up 400 in the last 15 days. While i am able to spot the right stocks at the right prices and buy them, i still am like "Bunty and the Biscuit jar" [ gyaan on this later on] when it comes to selling them, accumulating them & milking them for maximum money.
And Peter fucking Lynch says, of every 10 stocks he buys - 3 are multibaggers, 3 are duds, 3 are sorry cases and 1 is Ok. While i have bought and sold multibaggers for 10, 20 or 50 % gains, ive never EVER had an actual multibagger in my bag yet.
Eg. I bought bharti tele back when i was in college @ 62 sold at 95 and felt like Sunil Fuckin Mittal :). Then it went to 130, i bought back @ 125 and sold out at 170 - thinking, AHA, im the best. then B 230, sold 300. B 360 S 425. Thereafter tell my dad, "Appa bharti is so highly valued, it will crash one day" - my dad showed me the paper yesterday and said " aaman da, ippo it is 730. some valuation metric u seem to be using. U have a lot of learn & then to apply "
*sigh* and all this thought & talk of hitting billions & retiring with eva green in Stockholm, within another 10 years. At this rate, i dunno where il end up :)
