It helps to be a practicing Hindu in the worlds of business management and stock investing. The Holy Gita is an important scripture for Hindus. It advocates a philosophy of detachment from the material world. The Gita also prescribes commitments to one’s duties. That is why practicing Hindus have head starts in terms of custodial rather than ownership perspectives of stock portfolios.
Spirituality in any form can help to promote dispassionate but diligent business management and stock investing behavior. Atheists may find secular sources of their own to avoid exaggerated responses to gains and losses of stock exchange rings.
Equanimity is valuable though intangible in business management and stock investing. Irrational trends in economic indicators and financial reports trigger undue anger and excessive joy at various points of time. Neither exuberance nor despair is useful in formulating appropriate responses to challenges from the business environment.
Practice helps to retain mental balance in business management and stock trading. Learn to rely on facts rather than on mere speculation. View market developments as parts of cycles, always searching for the road ahead. Mental resilience and realism helps to stay on top of stock market fluctuations. The uncertainty of 2008 may go away, but not forever. Take swings and roundabouts in your stride, and enjoy business and stocks for intrinsic worth. This way, your descendants will inherit greater estates than you did.
