Last 3 bull runs I've been looking to buy L&T and still today i have not bought it while it has gone up phenominally. Same for financial technologies and Indiabulls. Indiabulls infact was started by my collage seniors who recommended it to me. I just failed to recognize the potential in that company :-(

Well there are couple of misses from me. Otherwise I could be CrorePati ..
1. In 2004, when there was tussle between Mahindras and dalmia for gesco. It was at 18. I put numerous buy orders at around 17 or 17.5 but it did not reach there and I remain poor. At 150 I again saw the counter and thought now it is too expensive. Event: Mid 2004
Lessen : Chase the price when you are 101% convinced.
2. I wanted to buy Bajaj Hindustan in late 2004, It was around 45 and then I was little greedy so I missed it and I remain poor. Event: Mid 2004
Lessen : Chase the price when you are 101% convinced.
3. I wanted to buy unitech when it was 600 (pre split and bonus) but then I was little greedy so I missed it and I remain poor. Event: Mid 2004
Lessen : Chase the price when you are 101% convinced.
4. I wanted to buy Dhampur sugar at 15 but then I was little greedy so I missed it and I remain poor. Event: Mid 2004
Lessen : Chase the price when you are 101% convinced.
Somehow, I spotted multi-bagger very well but then greed restricted from being rich.  Overall Lessen : Always Make Only Those Transactions, Which Have Potential To Change Your Life.

A small suggestion, if you don't mind....please modify the tag-line by putting a word positively at appropriate place...Just to make things crystal clear..

Dear kulman, Adding tag ' positively' is too difficult for me. I hope I have midas touch like RJ and other's has, and then it could have been quite easy to me to add this tag.

I liked your opinion on adding the word "positively". You have really a very keen eye. FOr that Tv18 thing I am slowly becoming normal - maybe we need to see the price come down a bit so as to reduce the hangover.
I was also thinking that since we made 50% from the last day of trading to the day of relisting all the investors held on to the stock but had it gone up by 3%-4% esch day not sure how many would have held on.WHen price goes up slowly that way the inclination to take profit is always higher.

Today I remember another one of my mistakes.
One day, there was a big result on the 1st page of ET(somewhere in 1999), Manna glass has declared superb numbers and have declared a dividend of 30%. At that time Manna glass was at Rs 9. Me and my friend bought the stock at 9.5 in hope of 30% returns. The dividend never came and we still hold the stock but the stock does not trade... After that I have always been cautious about front page results of not so known corporates..
