I feel compelled to tell you that most of my old posts here make me cringe now :-) But they show how I was and how much I've grown since. So I hope I'll look back at my new posts in a decade and cringe just as hard. ~ Kirubakaran Jul 24, 2017

Up Against The Wall

I am reading ‘One Up On Wall Street’ by Peter Lynch. It is very good.

These are from that: “Things are never clear until it’s too late” [p86]

“If all economists of the world were laid end to end, it wouldn’t be a bad thing” [p85]

If you are interested in “understanding” the share market, you may wanna read this book.

@mallik
the author talks about how useless economists are and says this...

you must have seen titbits like 'if every ant in this world is laid end to end, it will encircle the earth at equator n times' etc...

"If all economists of the world were laid end to end, it wouldn't be a bad thing" is just a parody on that... taking a dig at the economists :)
