Good idea. IMHO books should be bought whenever you have some time to read . On a lighter note just wondering what you will do when there are losses  .

Now a days I trade very little, and that too mostly delivery based. So chances of losses are minimal, and as I trade only in quality names ( Page, Zydus, Hawkins, Titan, VST etc.), holding them for a longer period beyond the trading horizon isn't a problem at all.

Got my copy of "Finding the next StarBucks" by Michael Moe from Flipcart today. Finished first chapter so far. Looks very interesting.

If you're prepared to invest in a company, then you ought to be able to explain why in simple language that a fifth grader could understand, and quickly enough so the fifth grader won't get bored.
