When appearing on television or when at a party where you do not want to be impolite what is the best advice to give?

Let me first define best advice:

• if you hear it in 2000, 2010 or 2020 it should sound correct
• the regulator should not find it offensive
• it should not talk about any one particular company or sector
• if it is N S E you should talk Nifty…and if it is BSE …Sensex
• it should not offend anybody
• it should not be scandalous

is it easy? Well initially I thought of this as difficult…but here are a few tips on what to say :

• Equity investments are for the long term
• Stay invested for long term – when the market turns upward, you will benefit
• Keep investing in the short run and long run, you will benefit
• Buy only good shares
• Do your fundamental research and analysis before you invest
• Do not invest in a small company unless you are sure about the promoters
• If you had invested Rs. 10000  in 1980 in Wipro today it would be worth more than Rs. 300 crores
• Read the prospectus before you invest
• ……………and many more…………..
