My fees in DM course was 1800 + 400 (hostel) per year.
We were only 2 residents per year, and I remember very vividly, how in my 2nd year, I really had no time to deposit the fees and I was inviting a 500 rs fine for late deposit.
The clerk called me up, to tell me that my fees was due, and that he was depositing it.
I thanked him.
When after a few days, I found the time I rushed to the office to repay him back and he refused to take it.
I insisted so much, and yet he would not take it.
I still remember him on and off, and that weighs on me for some reason. I’m still in touch with him though, and we exchange pleasantries on occasions via message. But still, the thought of an unreturned debt weighs heavily on me.
Why "I want to hold this stock for 10 years" is no longer an easy proposition.
Many of the market's darlings from just a few years ago command very little respect today. The pace of disruption is only accelerating.
Once upon a time, the market told stories like a Test match. Then it shifted to ODIs. Today, it increasingly behaves like a T20.
That is why market context has become just as important as company fundamentals when deciding the holding period.
Earlier, the market would rarely price in earnings more than 2-3 years ahead. Those were exceptions rather than the rule. For instance, Neuland Labs was one such exception in the CDMO space, while most other CDMO companies were not valued that way.
Today, when a sector turns "hot," the market often prices in the entire opportunity 2-3 years before the underlying businesses reach their earnings peak.
We have seen this play out in Renewable EPC, Transformers, ER&D, and now in AI/Data Centre proxies, Aerospace Ancillaries, and Precision Engineering.
As a result, many stocks achieve their peak valuations much earlier in the business cycle than they did in the past.
This doesn't mean long-term investing is dead. It simply means that "Buy and Hold" is no longer a one-size-fits-all strategy. In many sectors, "Buy, Hold, and Re-evaluate" may be the more appropriate approach.
@ishmohit1 I'm a medical practitioner who's work is predominantly around cancer and the only thing I have to say that is that the rates of cancer detection is increasing at an alarming rate. These drugs are getting better and in many cases, costlier also
Te haces mayor, los años siguen pasando y tu vida va cambiando pero en la selección croata sigue jugando como titular el puto Ivan Perisic. Ese tipo es milenario, como los árboles.
🚨💣 BREAKING: Carlo Ancelotti will bring CHANGES to his starting XI vs Haiti!

• Heads means Cunha starts.

Roberto Martinez is like Obama. Unbelievable orator and speaker, and conceptually is a fantastic coach/president. In reality, his policies and tactics have ruined countries and generations.
@aprads1@UpdatesChennai Please brother
He's one of the best journalists out there. Just because Jio has given you the license to talk shit doesn't necessitate that you do exactly that.
I have been following Indian cricket for four decades now and am yet to see a chair of selectors who can match Ajit Agarkar in sustained ruthlessness.
You may not like him, but you have to admit that he does not hesitate to make bold decisions.
@tirumuru_87 Why do their congress links matter here? We have an incompetent govt and a fuckall minister heading the education department. Imagine if your marks were screwed up like theirs.... Soothula adi vaanguna dha seri aavanga...
@supreetkashyap I had ordered 3 t shirts few days back. Unfortunately one of them had a defect. Raised it as a complaint. Was pleasantly surprised by the way it was handled. Kudos.
Only thing I'd like to request you is to add more colours!!
