Many mortals have an iron faith in themselves that, they can beat the market at its own game.
Alas, it’s a fool’s paradise to be in….
Because the *market* does
What it has to do
When it has to do
How it has to do
Where it has to do
&
Who, it has to do it to
There is no escape there.
The faster one realises that, one can’t be ahead of the market….the better.
The only way an investor’s hand can be above the market is….when it’s beaten down or getting beaten down. But only as long as one can have cash to handle it.
Every investor who thought to be smarter & invested last Friday (the 2nd weekend press briefing of our FM & team)…thinking that the market is going to go up today (Tuesday)… due to various measures which were to be announced – *the reality seeped in today*
*One can’t be ahead of the market*…..definitely not in the short end
Maybe in the longer term….Yes…if and only if we stay inside the market and not trying to *play around it*
