Don’t get tempted by the flight

The great leg spinner Shane Warne has the ability to astound the batsman with the variation in his bowling .When he is bowling you never know what’s going to happen ! He has the ability to bowl six different deliveries . He can entice the batsman with the heaps of flight making him come out of the safety zone and get stumped. It required the great experience and relevant skill set of master strokes man Sachin Tendulkar to play rollicking innings against him .Similarly ,don’t get ostentatious by the current flight of the Sensex , don’t leave the safety zone , be prudent and may be use this as an opportunity to get healthy not anorexic by shedding some extra flab .To be precise ; in the words of Warren Buffet –“ Why potential buyers even look at projections prepared by sellers baffles me. Charlie and I never give them a glance, but instead keep in mind the story of the man with an ailing horse. Visiting the vet, he said: "Can you help me? Sometimes my horse walks just fine and sometimes he limps." The vet's reply was pointed: "No problem - when he's walking fine, sell him." The seller of a business practically always knows far more about it than the buyer and also picks the time of sale - a time when the business is likely to be walking "just fine."

Have a devoted look at your holdings , May be ,its time to reshuffle your portfolio ! A quick assessment could reap great benefits !The volatile market environment could make you chance upon some real gems in the emerging sectors at an attractive valuations .Ignore investment seers espousing market trends ,just pick up fair value stocks with great business lineage during such market fluctuations .One can also take cue from the investment being made by the financial institutions in other emerging markets like Russia .The pendulum swing is going to differentiate investor from a speculator .Keep your interest alive in the Test Match …………

  3. Very apt correlation between the Greats of cricket and the investment worlds. A nice way to drive home a very sound point, something which we all tend to overlook in our euphoric mood.
