Hello Again!!!

Hello Everyone,

I am back and back after so many years. Feels like a lifetime where everything around me has changed - for the good and for the worse. The last time that I was here, I was just about to get married after which I did get married to this amazing guy, had a kid and just when my kid had started his preschool, things went out of control wrt Covid-19 and we were locked down in the 4 walls of our home sweet home, which we have got used to after all the missing out of fun which I and my kid used to have during our evening stroll. Well that's about it wrt my life and I sincerely apologize for MIA.

I had actually even forgotten about this blog until recently that my dad asked me if I used to write a blog and he actually showed me my own blog. He came across it while he was researching about some company. Felt so good when he appreciated my work. I didn't even realize that I had not tell my family that I blog. A few days back I got another email from an unknown person asking me about a company that I had blogged about and it just felt like it was an indication that I really need to get down and start blogging about the value stocks.

Well first things first, we all know that value lies in the eye of the beholder. Right now all stocks are looking like gold laid out on streets. But my dad always used to say that there will be a time when there will be gold on the street and no one will buy it. But what is happening right now is that few people are picking up that gold ignoring the covid-19, few are picking up the gold while being cautious about covid -19 and few are like me who are totally avoiding picking up anything as I don't know how far reaching impact will this covid-19 have. But does not mean I am not window shopping, I am making my list of value buys which I would love to share with you guys. That post will come up soon.

But till that, just a thought to ponder on.
Y2K Crisis - Was a looming global crisis, which didn't affect anyone as it went the other way.
2008 Subprime Crisis - Originated in US, but had far reaching impact on the global economy, we all know what happened to our Indian Economy.
2020 Covid -19 Pandemic - Is a global crisis, has affected countries all round the world, most of them are in locked down situation with emphasis on just bare essentials for survival. Imagine the effect on the global consumption graph and the successive impact on the economies during and post covid-19.


Thank You,
