Generally I observed a very likely connection between reading and living a long life. We know Phil Fisher died at age 96 years. Charlie is at 99 now…Warren Buffet at 93 age… Can this be a co-incidence only that most avid readers are living long life?
When you are reading books for most hours of the day, you feel really relaxed and you are saved from the ups and downs of most stressful situations during the day. May be you are not subjected to the emotional upheaval and your breathing is very slow paced and relaxed. You tend to take slow and deep breaths. And we already know the connection between slow and deep breathing and longevity. So reading habit must be adding many years to your life. More research needs to be done in this direction to quantify the exact impact. But my gut feeling tells me that this must be connected. If there is any book in this regard, pls recommend me. Reading habit and longevity.

The most important learning i took from Phil Fisher is his morning walks with very high speed. Almost Like J. Krishnamurty . I have also started fast paced walks. Also those walks should be alone…So i started avoiding my regular group…And it was really refreshing. You get to know many clarities and your health also improves.

The story behind Pharmeasy’s valuation being cut down by 85% (06-10-2023)
Pharmeasy has come up with rights issue. The issue is of convertible preference shares at 96.80. As it will convert to 20 shares, the shares will at ₹4.84.
I hold some shares at ₹20! So, it makes sense for me to invest in these.

How does Goodluck look now, after this recent spike? Is it still under/fairly valued? Or do you see some short term correction?

That is cool, i mean very very cool! Especially the point about continuous learning.
Fully agree with your point on the type of book one can read. For instance, I tried reading “Wings of fire” by APJ Kalam in 9th standard (father insisted). That flew right over my head. Couldn’t even read 20 pages! I like what Naval Ravikant said about this. “A book is a conversation between the author and the reader. When the reader doesn’t like the book, it may not be bad, it is just that either the reader or the author is not ready for the conversation”. I am probably more receptive to Wings of Fire today (although I am yet to pick it up again).
I have been reading consistently from 2020 but nowhere close to your pace!
I have slowed down on purpose to improve retention. I re-read a few books that I thought I forgot. Also started taking notes and making highlights to further improve retention. Sharing these notes I am taking currently from “Common stocks and Uncommon profits”. Although i am still looking for a more efficient way of taking notes.
You’re awesome!
Warm regards,
Mahesh
