An Investor Poem by Nikunj Sharma

An Investor

Rating: 5.0


I used to be patient
I am no more
Ever since I invested in stocks
My heart asks for more

Not for me the long term hauls
I just want to play the CALLS
I shall get in for only a month, not a day more
I used to be patient
I am no more

UP is the way, I always thought
Until in a jam, I was caught
Greed took over my bullock’s reign
The other side was always green
Once full of charts
The slate is now absolutely clean
On a bouncy pitch
How does one score
I used to be patient
I am no more

Street got blood, my pocket a hole
My head’s revolving, my feet got cold
There are no free lunches
I am being told
Peace replaced by silent gore
I used to be patient
I am no more

My patience is back, it costed me a loss
No longer a rolling stone, I gather some moss
I got my lesson, loud and clear
Tortoise won the race, not the hare
With all my colors, I shall someday
Paint a rainbow for sure
I am now patient goes out the lore ………

So I am not the only one hey! I used to be patient too and used to love my holdings, not willing to part and having too much faith in them. This game is for the professionals who do not attach any emotions to their deals. But the bottom line; Are we wiser now? Good luck.This should be a compulsory attachment for any stock advice like a Warning note on the cigarrette pack. Wonderful write.....10+++

If share markets experts are so expert, why they are selling advice rather than buying stocks......Go east or west, Fixed Deposit(debt) is best, yea you loss some money due to inflation but then you gain a peace of mind and longevity. Does anyone can buy a single minute of life even with trillion rupees....a good write...........

With all your colors, isn' t that rainbow wrapped around and squeezing your breath out? How can you breathe? All those colors..... :) Be very careful. DC
