Dear Friends,

As in the financial markets with both investing and trading, the experience in speaking with my close and distant circles is always a fantastic and happy experience.

The way we discuss with various important topics are quite exciting and the mutual learning and sharing are quite memorable also.

We also conduct various classes for the market aspirants also. 

I am just exhibiting the kind of interactions with the recent one which are super exciting.

Whenever I speak with seasoned market participants, I often reflect on their mindset during the conversation.

Question: Are you a growth investor?
Answer: Yes, but I don't look only at growth.

Them: Oh! So, are you a value investor? Right, right—I get it.
Me: No, I’m not exactly a value investor. While I do place great importance on valuation, that isn't the *only* thing I consider.

That’s usually where they get confused.

Next question: Based on what you’re saying, it sounds like you focus entirely on fundamentals.
You don't look at technicals at all, right?
Me: Oh no! Who said that?

I definitely look at technicals. I wouldn't buy or sell a stock without checking the charts.
So, are you a trader?

Me: No, no—I’m a long-term investor.

But look... just because I’m a long-term investor doesn't mean I buy a stock and hold onto it for years on end.

I have sold some stocks within just a few weeks of buying them.

Them: 🙄😰
Me: 🥰

This way the dialogue had gone.

Some times, it is so interesting to have these dialogues that fascinate me the most.

Happy investing!
