Introspection!

We are all dead in the long term! therefore the idea of reaping rich dividends/value in the longterm wouldn't really appeal to most of us. And a more profound thought is the fact that all of us would like to make a quick buck even if we are to compromise on our risk appetite. It would only be cynical on our part to deny this and speak of prudent investment ideas, strategies, combinations and all that non-sense ( since there was never an intent ) in times where every other stock at todays given prices seem to be a steal in comparison to the not so distant past.
A majority i would presume...rather iam sure of are saddled with stocks that defied all logic and fundamentals to scale dizzy heights at their peak and more so on their way down. This is a common phenomena pertaining to stock markets and is a typical case of history repeating itself. The primary reason that can attributed to this apparent anomalous behaviour is nothing but Greed. The other important corralaries are Indiscipline, misinformation, blindeye towards fundamentals and ofcourse absolute disregard with respect to over leveraging.
I personally is of the opinion that even any one of the above mentioned ingredients can cause significant damage, a combination or even more( all put together) will only result in a complete rout. Ok. Most of us are aware & understand all of this. There comes the Q.
How and what is it that can make us practice the above mentioned virtues and at the same time make the desired money?
If i did have the perfect answer to this question... there wouldn't have been temples or churches! As i have always wondered.... the so called learned and wise men, the big institutional houses, the market movers, all of them have only measured opinions and advices to offer which again is never accountable and is ofcourse common folklore. So where do we seek the " REAL INFORMATION" that we are all desperately looking for?
I have a firm belief ... the answer lies within our own selves and a more closer picture can be evolved from the animal kingdom of whom we were once a part. It is simple understanding and no rocket science. Carnivores generally don't hunt the same pack or their equals. It is the largely populous and the weaker section i.e. the herbivores which are their fodder. Vice-versa the Minority ( carnivores-- The big institutions, HNI's, with large coffers ) will always make prey of the majority ( Herbivores-- All of us! ). Minority wins and rules! there is no escaping this fact.
So what exactly does this explanation mean? Is this all farce and only a way of extorting money from the weaker section? Yes it is but It isn't all that gloomy. The underlying fact is that it is a platform created for the minority and u will always be pawn in the game! But a pawn can prove to be more than a handful.. but again only at times...not always! So.. alike the Minority! without any concrete redressal to the actual and factual problem... i leave it stranded with some thought for all! will take it up from hereon!
