"In Schooldays, i remember the Break, that we used to get to eat snacks or lunch, and we all used to wait for it. The moment the bell rings and everyone is waiting to leave their seats, meet their friends, play on the ground, run around in the floor lobby, shout, scream, laugh etc. I could see some teachers moving in their rooms, children running away from them. Big Boys use to gather down and play with Football, or rush towards canteen for some spicy snack. My School was located at the beach front and had a beautiful sea view from all its window and we could always feel the great breeze coming from the Arabian Sea. It was a calm, peaceful, innocent and effortless days, where morning we use to rush to schools and evening wait to play and nights study with mom & dad and go off to Good night sleep..., there was no one to ask what is market today, what is happening in US, whats around Dollar, why are markets falling...etc. At times i Feel that y is there no such Breaks in Markets. Why dont for few days we go off from the market mood and leave the way the life is. In school we lived the way life is."
Buffett always says that he would love if the markets close after the day he Buys something and reopens after 5 years or so....Indirectly a Break from regular routine effort of analysing stock prices and market movements would have made him a trader than Investor, so a Break actually can help you become a Investor.( thats just a point to take a break)
Break in the school use to energise us to come back in the class room and attend lectures more attentively. Today Mr.Market is an never ending Class, where knowledge is thrown everyday with lot of unwanted information, news, comments which are actaully of no use. If Mr. Market would have been close this infomarions, news, comments wouldnt have been there. Break is reuqired in your work, in your life, in your thoughts, in your everything that you just do it in regular routine. I think it energises your thoughts, you have more energy to come back to do something new, different, with more energy and zeel.
Our Life in the the Corporate Culture has become monotonous, We get up in the morning, rush to read each and everyline of the paper, to know before others do. We rush to Mr. Market and try to know everything which is available under the sun(irony is that we dont even know nor cant we know even 1% of it), we reproduce the same with our logics and comments from some great gurus coming on the TV sets, and finally we end the day with meetings and partys again discussing the same old Mr. Market and still we never find the answer to why is the market up , down, sideways etc to it. The quest for knowing Mr. Market has made us Robot which acts without thinking....
I feel that I require a break from Mr. Market, and i suggest to all that a Break is must from anything that u love doing it, because that would give you more energy and different thought process...
I am on for a vacation and see my self posting after a Month....
Happy Investing.....
