Always stay calm before the powerful, otherwise you may have to live only in a few designated cities in the world...

Micro-investment: Happy Holidays

I posted some details over the past one year. One may worry what it takes to be a pennyless first generation investor!

My plans for housing failed. Investment results are so so. Income plans (equity and mutual funds) are reasonable.

I had several personal problems, errands, technical difficulties (access to international phone and web portals). That reduced my potential for success. But one can pay modest rent in small cities by e-broking after one or two years of experience.

Over the past few years my 'batting' failed; bowling was not that competitive and fielding improved.

We all explored what can be done in rented facility, without owning even one floppy. I am still learning to 'earn', not just do research. I shall publish more only after I start my own laboratory (Ganguli_Investment_Chicago).

Best wishes for 2006, and happy holidays.
