Are We Asking The Right Question?

Is the bull market over? Is this a bear market? When will the market bottom out? Is the India story intact? How severely will inflation and interest rates impact growth? How long will it take for the US to sort out its mess? The questions are many. And the effort is on to find answers to all of them. They are all good stuff for academic debates but hardly of any interest to a serious investor who perhaps have lost some of his investments in the ongoing market turmoil. The point is, are we asking the right questions.

Often many problems are solved by asking the right questions. To put it very bluntly, making money in the current market scenario has become difficult. It was easy and different earlier. We are no more in a situation where you pick up any stock which gives you returns. Today we live in difficult market environment where there are very limited ideas at the current level.
