When Funds Run Riot – The DHFL Hungama

Multiple times in the past I have tweeted that one shouldn’t try to generate Alpha through Debt. Debt is for Capital Preservation, Equity is for Growth. Yet, when one is full time involved in finance, we understate our own limits. Warren Buffett in the past has talked about Quotation Loss and Permanent Loss. If you invested in 2018 in a...
