  6. Dear VP

    Greetings!!

    I recently came to know about this wonderful blog that you have been running.. Will you pls provide your valuable comments on how to select and how to manage when person like me having only limited capital to start with. I am a big zero in fundamental study and do not have any idea how to pick some of these.

    Looking forward to your valued comments

    Best Regards,
    Atharva

    1. It is not a question to answer in few sentences .I don't think capital is a constraint to make gains in stock market. Return is always calculated in percentage .Many of us including me started with few thousands only.
