Irrespective of when you were born, you have seen Sholay, right? And you would remember the Gabbar’s famous dialogue ‘Jo Darr Gaya, Samjho Mar Gaya’.
But what if I tell you that this dialogue has a greater relevance in investing. In fact, what if I tell you that most of the blockbusters you have watched so far give insights on money and investment to your clients.
Author and trainer, Amit Trivedi in his latest book ‘The Whole Thing is that Ki Bhaiya Sabse Bada Rupaiya’ uses such Bollywood dialogues, stories and songs to make readers understand the fundamentals of money and investments.
According to him, though Gabbar’s dialogue in Sholay did not directly convey investing lesson, you can make out that fearless investors always win. “A case in point is the market crash of 2008-09 when broad market indices in India fell by more than 50 percent. In this situation, many investors bailed out of their investments in stocks and looked for safe investments. There was a mad rush for a particular scheme launched by the LIC India in the first quarter of CY 2009. In hindsight, this was in fact the best time to buy stocks. Fear made people take exactly the wrong action,” said the author in the book.
Written in an easy-to-understand language, the book has 50 such stories that gives insights on investing concepts in an interesting way.
The book consists of five sections – philosophy of money, money and human emotions, understanding investments, the process of financial planning and importance of money in life.
The expertise and passion of the author who has been in the industry since 1993 clearly comes across. The book is available at a price of Rs. 499 in English and is published by CNBC TV 18.
If you wish to help your clients learn financial concepts in an interesting way then this is the book to gift them.
