Who do you think is a super investor?
As you apply your mind to the question, I would like you to know that one of our ‘respected’ marketing research companies Nielsen has come out with a report titled “Super Investors: India’s new Wealth Generators“.
When I read the title of this report, I felt excited to know something of value. In fact, I stretched my imagination too hard. The instant correlation was with an icon “the Superman”.
“If superman is what he is, what would a super investor be like?”
Unfortunately, my imagination and my excitement were both short-lived. 🙁
I read the report. I felt the research company was confused about what they were trying to define. Or did they have the correct data based on which they drew the findings?
Their definition of a super investor and the characteristics of this investor are no where close to who I would consider to be a super investor.
