Regulation is inadequate protection against greed

A well regulated market is good for any Business or Profession as it imparts confidence to consumers and leads to orderly development of market for that product or service. Overregulation increases compliance costs and drives smaller players out of the market. It also leads to some players shifting to low or zero regulation markets.

Move from debt to equity, but gradually

Harsh really love this article written by him that appeared on Thursday March 19, 2020 a few days before the single day Junta curfew imposed on Sunday March 22, 2020 and the covid lockdown that commenced from Wednesday March 25 , 2020. I vividly remember the atmosphere during that time and the pall of fear and uncertainity surrounding everything that we had always taken for granted till then.

The atmosphere was such that one doubted long held principles in the face of the completely unprecedented situation. I am proud of the fact that the introspection under tremendous pressure helped him to decide to stick to his pre set rules . Now in hindsight the article makes me appear prescient 🙂 but it was a scary ride at that time. As He wrote – courage is not the absence of fear but the ability to act despite the fear 🙂
