Love & the Stock Market

Love is beautiful, so is the Stock Market

When you take a position in the stock market, you begin to look around for news that’s favoring your position. Your mind completely gives importance only to the news that’s positively favoring your position. When you fall in love with a girl, you only remember and give importance to instances where in there is a positive feeler from her end. In both cases you mostly end up making a loss. I have failed in both.

Well began is half done. What really matters is the entry you made. Considering the stock market if you first look at the charts and understand the situation of that particular script in the last three to six months you would get a fair idea of what would be the right time to take a position. Similarly if you would not hurry yourself and take a little time to understand the girl you like, you would get a better idea of how and when to let her know about it. It would also give you a clarity of whether the girl or the stock is right for you.

Nobody is perfect. It is not necessary that we are right every time. There is always a possibility that the decision you made hits back on you. It would be wonderful if you could accept that a girl has every right of having an opinion of her own. It would be wonderful if you could accept that your analysis was wrong. You can fall in love but it would not be true and pure if there would be a condition of expecting returns. The easiest solution to a possible major damage to your heart is to be aware that you might have to back-off at a point where it does not make sense in hoping, praying and trying to push things in your direction. We call this point a STOP LOSS. If you don’t have a stop loss, the damage caused to your heart may not allow you to start a fresh.

Once the girl tells you that she loves you, your target 1 is achieved. You continue to LOVE and there would be ups and downs in your relationship but if you have chosen the right script then you would see it grow stronger over a decent time period. Also your expectations would rise and you would move the stop loss higher.

Your relation goes strong and then there is marriage and then the spurt of honeymoon. Now here is the difference, you exit out of that stock and enter into another beauty. How we wish we could do the same with love. Over and over again.
