The Crorepathi

It's funny when you read articles which says that if you had invested Rs.10000 in Company X in 1980, you money would have grown to xx-crores (recent one was if I had invested Rs.10000 in Wipro in 1980, I would have had 335 crores now!!). The target most of the time are IT companies (read Infosys, Wipro etc.). The key question is "IF" and whether we really had the intution / the means to part with Rs.10000 during those days. Additionally, the stomach would have churned multiple times during the stock market scams and even otherwise. Point ? Stop comparing the past and start living the future.
