    If your investing experience is less than 10 years start with 5-6 portfolio. Don't bet big on any single company, learn the process first. Initial diversification is not bad, it really worked for me during my early years. Remember that protection of capital is a must. Good luck

      Yes and its mostly Lao Tzu and he lived in 500 BCE and visited India , there is still an forgotten stone inscription of the visit by Chinese who gained wisdom from ancient India. I say "Ancient India" specifically as not of today's India..

    5:50 "Don't let your daughter in law eat your autumn eggplants" very specific. Not sure I understand that one - must be a cultural thing.

      When you are old (autumn) you have little life expectancy, so no time to earn more resources (eggplants). If you are not careful, the new generation will spend the little you accumulated during your sunny days and you will live your last days in poverty.
