@Raj : I appreciate the way you invest. You are not a trader. And you do your homework before investing. I don’t know how many have got the time to do such analysis. Regarding Wal-Mart and CISCO, I have no much thoughts on those companies. AFAIK they are ethical and their business model is good. I would be interested to know more about your investing criteria.

@Shashi : My intension of writing up my mistakes is that, readers of my blog should not commit the same mistake that I did!!! I would be really very happy if naive investors like you are benefited.

Hi Saravanan:

In my humble opinion, I would invest only in companies whose management team has long term visions and is comprised of people TRULY ethical, regardless of the current market trends, stock price and its business nature. This, I believe, is where my money will go. For example, Wal-Mart is one such company who is in retail; and Cisco is one which is in hardware. I would for example be very leary of somebody in financials regardless of their potential to earn, based upon my investing criteria.

Dude,

My comment is not on this post, but have a general query.

Since inflation is nearing 0 and some economists are predicting it to go negative (deflation) but the prices of the commodities are still high. Do the prices reduce during deflation? How exactly do you define this trend..?

Though I did some reading on these topics, still I am not very clear. If you have knowledge on this, can you please explain it? [preferably as a separate post in your blog]
