Why this blog and Who am I

I just had this itch today to write a few lines on why I started out with this blog. The post would cover a little background on my personal life as well as two are interlinked.

As a kid, I was always fascinated with big cars and bikes, always drooling over them and wondering when I would be able to lay my hands on them. I thought my education would prepare me for my employment which then would let me have anything I wanted. Since, I was not very studious type I did get to go to the revered B schools and hence ended with mediocre job paying me average salary.

Suddenly i realised that all the dreams I had would not be fulfilled incase I went ahead going the drab job being part of the rat race. And then in year 2007 I went ahead and invested in the biggest of booms in Indian stock market. Since everything was going up, I made some profits and being a novice, this was one of the greatest joys I had found. As it meant that I could not go in for whatever machine I wanted.

You see, my target still was my big cars and bikes. But then 2008 came and all went downhill, my investments. The down they went the more I invested, not knowing a penny about the markets.

After having this life changing experience pretty early into my life in the markets, I was determined to find out what exactly are markets? And then I started educating myself on internet, paying for the best of the resources I found over time had been proved correct and right time and again. In that journey which started with understand the fundamentals, then to technicals as well to become and prepare what I would call an investor and trader as well... Over the years I have become adept myself at being able to understand whats happening around the world and what actions to take accordingly.

Since then I have been trading my own money in an effort to be financially free. There is the change here in my approach to markets... I want to be financially free rather than just gun for some petty 4 wheels... Being able to pass on to my coming generations and other souls who want to be a learner of markets will be a venture worth working for...
