Frustration is the antithesis of confidence and euphoria. It can cripple you and distract you from your sense of persistence and determination.

2017 – A Recap
1. I became a father to a baby girl on 23 November 2017 just 2 months after my brother became a father to a baby boy for the first time. Double celebration at home. That just about sums up the whole year. 2. All certifications and education came to a complete halt this whole year….

The markets are falling, what are you doing?
The stock markets have been on a free fall for some time now ever since the Greek debt crisis blew up. The Euro has been going down vis-a-vis the US dollar. The dollar has been gaining in strength even against gold. Does that mean all is hunky dory and that all the problems are over…
Has the correction set in?
After a spectacular 100% rise from 2008 levels, the markets moved into a bubble territory. The Greece debt downgrading to junk status might be the needle that would prick the bubble. For an ordinary man on the street, its a disaster. For the newscasters, its breaking news. For a long term investor, its a good…
