hare and the tortoise

Js: IMO, there is nothing practically different as trader and investor.....trader invests money, and investor trades to buy and sell....

: I'm talking in broad sense....

Devender: So any time frame can be traded

: Effectively and consistently IMO

Js: people with less money have to rotate money more and hence “trade".....those with crores can afford to be lazy and invest those say 10 crore for 1.5 crore return per annum....

Devender: Yes. JS ji..  Pond is small for whales..

Js: who will want to trade when he can afford to invest

: trade for first crore and then turn investor......

: investor is trading in slow motion, trading is investing in fast forward.....self talk

: nobody turns investor because he has to....but because he doesn't need to be a trader any more

: so never worry about trader investor dilemma.....just make money.....keep making money.....and as gradually it swells, increase holding time and start playing golf.

: 10 percent per month return on 10 lac fund or 15 percent per annum return on 1.5 crore corpus......almost equal but huge huge difference in headache

: actually it's got to do with holding time and not necessarily amount.....though it makes sense to trade with less, invest with more

: sip is a classic example of investing with less

: as Robert Kiosaki says move towards auto money.....unless you have unquenchable thirst disorder

: one of my friends worked hard for 2 decades, saved 2 crore plus and is now retired for enjoying life with 20 lacs per annum he gets as annual returns from low maintenance investment

: we should have exit plan in trading career before we enter in this Greek gladiator theatre otherwise we will end up therein after age

: money management= 'win' or 'not loose much' preposition

: trading skills serve as top up or slice out accumulation distribution for investors. as I turn less trader and more investor I will use my trading method to enter in steps and exit in steps......assuming I do not prefer one-time-invest-it-for-fat-annual-return-year-after-year kinda life

: frankly,I don't see myself trading forever......

: trading is a way too early retirement for better things in life.....self talk

Sanjeev: small trader can also grow by as investor

Js: even amateurs should invest trader style, but by bit entry and exit based on signals....

: bit by bit

: and investors are value traders!
if somebody has crores, has very less expenses, isn't bored in life and is still swearing in trading,I will not hesitate to ask him "chaahtaa kya hai bhaaiii?!"

Sanjeev: tortoise slow motion always win everywhere

Js: that story is no joke....self talk.....the biggest lesson of life.....

: tortoise doesn't mean slow, tortoise means the fastest in-control, un-hurried slow.....
: tortoise is symbolic....a metaphor
: not literal
