“Do you advice on stocks?” This was Deepesh on the line.
“No Deepesh, not my forte. For me, it is simple. There are some really good fund managers out there who can do a better job. I rather let them manage my money.”
“Oh OK. You see, I am already doing a good job with my portfolio. I just need a second view on my current holdings.” Deepesh didn’t sound impressed with what I had told him.
“That’s great Deepesh. You are from very few people who have claimed that they have made money by investing in stocks. Let’s do a little thing, if you will.”
“Tell me.”
“Have you ever calculated how much money you have actually made on your stock investments – return on the investment?”
“Not really. But as I said I have made a decent money. I guess it should be close to 15% year on year.”
“Wow! That’s a great number. But let’s confirm it. Can you share your stock portfolio transaction details with me? I will do the maths for you.” I told Deepesh.
