Sometimes things happen in a way that makes one superstitious. But not me. I, yours truly, is a bewitched guy, and am starting to like the predictability of so many events.
It always rains when I wash and polish my two-wheeler - be it a drizzle or raining cats and dogs, but it always does. On any bad hair day, I've to bump into some crush or someone. My lunchbox always contains something I am in the least mood for that day and I always miss the Metro by a minute (if I reach 5 minutes early, I miss the ealier one by a whisker). Any stock I buy crashes, and, very predictably, any stock I short just shoots up. Any assignment I am on gets pressure and ridiculous deadlines.
As a great person said "if anything has to go wrong, it will". So I've started taking things in my stride.
I've decided that I'd let you all know any stock I buy or short, and you guys can easily do the opposite (all this for just 10% share in your profits). On the lunch table, I name the stuff I'd be least interested to have, and open my tiffin and Voila! its there! And the next time you're sick of heat, ask me and I'd wash my vehicle (last night it drizzled too).
