Marvan Atapattu Inspiring Life Story It’s a story that Harsha Bhogle, India’s most loved cricket commentator, loves to tell, over and over again. Making his debut in Test cricket for Sri Lanka, Marvan scored a duck in his first innings. And again, in his second innings. They dropped him. So he went back to the nets for more practice. More first-class cricket. More runs. Waiting for that elusive call. And after twenty-one months, he got a second chance. This time, he tried harder. His scores: 0 in the first innings, 1 in the second Dropped again, he went back to the grind. And scored tonnes of runs in first-class cricket. Runs that seemed inadequate to erase the painful memories of the Test failures. Well, seventeen months later, opportunity knocked yet again. Marvan got to bat in both innings of the Test. His scores: 0 and 0. Phew! Back to the grind. Would the selectors ever give him another chance? They said he lacked big-match temperament. His technique wasn’t good enough at th...

My primary love is professional trading. That's what I do, that's what I breathe. Trading gives me passive income, my money is busy making money for me. It is my passion, however that is not my occupation. My job is somewhat of a missionary set out to educate people about the art of investing and trading. My job as a coach is to find talented people and make sure they learn and follow the fundamentals of the art. This is the goal I have set for myself. This is why I wake up every morning. This is why I sleep every night. However on this journey I encounter many people who come into trading having accumulated either a lot of money or a lot of dreams. I have seen a lot of doctors, lawyers, engineers, techies, accountants, architects and the like. All those professions require a lot of training to master the skills involved. You simply cannot go to a realtor without any proper training or qualification and say "I'd like to design this structure for you today." ...

This Monday morning came a major shock to many retail investors as markets tanked for more than 5%. India's benchmark index, Nifty made a gap down opening at 8057 recording a largest gap down since 2006. However according to many technical analysts the down fall was evident on last week charts yet no one would have imagined the intensity of global selling phenomenon which actually caused such a movement in the index. The movement not only took a heavy toll on shallow pockets of novice traders, but even the seasoned investors, who have been passively investing started to ring up their brokers. I received many calls yesterday and all had one common interest. "How much is my folio effected due to the meltdown? Is it still an appropriate time to stay invested? Can we sell some equity now and buy later (suddenly some investors would turn to trading.) Such calls were  full of doubts about the India Shining Story. However there were certain smart investors who calle...

When you trade, you probably think you trade the markets. However, you don't trade the markets; instead, you trade your beliefs about the markets. Yes, this is very true, we only trade our beliefs about the markets.  Lets ponder upon some statements and see if you believe about them: The market is a dangerous place in which to invest. ( You are right if you think this about the markets ) The market is a safe place in which to invest. ( You are right here too if you think this about the markets ) Big players in the market control the markets and its hard for the little guy to earn. ( You are right ) You can easily make money in the markets. ( You are right ) Its hard to make money in the markets. ( You are right ) You need to have lots of information before you can trade profitably. ( Guess what, you are right again ) Do you notice the theme. You are right about every one of these beliefs in any of these statements, what do you believe instead? You are right a...
