Hi Rajesh,

It has been long since i have been visiting your blog.It is like a bible or rather i will say it Gita when it comes to investment wisdom.

But rajesh one thing that i dont like about your blog is that your posts are intermittent and far in between.Of lately there is a sense of discontinuity in your blogs.

Sir i Still remember that fine morning when i got to see your blog named in "Economic Times" as one of the most visited and read blog.I have a deep attachement with it,and it seemed at that time as my own success.

Rajesh please do not take it in bad sense,please not at all,but still i feel that we need more of you and well i thanks for all the good work that you have been doing.

Deep Regards ,
Rashmi.

Dear Friends,

Thanks for your kind words of appreciation for the blog.

One of the strong foundation of this blog has been the support it has got from the readers and the comments have helped me to improve the content and keep the focus of the blog intact.

I had been through a personal crisis at home for past few weeks and a hectic time as well at the job due to budgeting exercise, hence could not do justice to the blog.

I am sure I will start posting soon. Thanks for you patience.

Markets are in the correction mode and time has come to start looking at some good stocks which have corrected significantly to take a medium to long term position.

Happy Investing !
