Of Stocks that shock and Scrips that strip....

The recent fortnight of the deep plunge that the markets have taken are just what nightmares are made up of.Anguished , paralyzed, broken,shattered, indebted,bankrupt,deprived ,traumatized...it could be a study in shock related adjectives!So what does make the market & its players tick?Really, its obvious that intelligent investing is no come easy - go easy gimmick;yet people do yield to temptation ,yield to unsolicited advice,and stretch their risk bearing capacities.Its tragic.There's a lot to learn yet.Nothing comes free in this world! Behind the suave ,swashbuckling ,confident -investor facade its just people who're making things just a bit easier for themselves, their families ,their loved ones. A real protagonist( well, Some would call 'hero' a sexist term...tread gently..!)would feel empowered by being prudent , backing off in uncomfortable circumstances and sticking by the gut feeling.And no more than Udayan Mukherjee who didn't mind weeping on the sets of a show..Now thats my hero!
