About me

Introduction	I started investing when DOW crossed 13,000 while I was a still a graduate student. What was not to like about it? I had seen the market moving up for months and Chinese smallcaps were on fire and everyone on TV was calling for months, rather years of more gains!! Surely, it was money in the bank. So, I started by buying small Chinese stocks which were sure to make me rich beyond by wildest dreams. What the heck...I was going for multi-baggers. Nothing less would do. No prizes for guessing how this story ended. But wait....there was light at the end of the tunnel (though it seemed to be an approaching train at first) and this story too, like all stories should, has the proverbial silver lining. The bottom line is that I have more than tripled my trading account since the beginning of 2009. Am afraid I cant fit the details of it here, so see you in the blog introduction post for more!
