And you are right - all three fishes were trying to time the market in their own ways!Subhankarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13248068905130821262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148222695370746347.post-28994247695609585602010-01-29T01:05:41.683+05:302010-01-29T01:05:41.683+05:30Nice story ... :)

Not sure if the conservatives wud be game for that.<br />2) Smart investor: "can remain in the thick of it and use their market timing and asset allocation strategies to reap maximum benefit." ... not sure about this one too ... how much is maximum? I guess it is all going to be relative. And if you get it wrong in this market, you pay heavily!<br />The point I'm trying to make is, smart or conservative, if one wants to "play" one will have to take a call, in other words, "try" to time the market. <br />p.s. > Are you trying to suggest "conservative" investors are not "smart" and "smart" ones aren't "conservative". By your definition the smart ones seem to be he more adventurous, but if they lose big, they wont look too smart wud they? <br />:)<br />Thanks as always for such insightful post Sir!Jasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14267764047614537730noreply@blogger.com
