“…And tragedy can be quietly enjoyed when, as is not true of war, nothing is being lost but money.”
(Full disclosure- I have lost fair amount of my own paper money in this!)
By the way, Subhash Bhende सुभाष भेंडे informed us that M V Dhond म वा धोंड dabbled in stock market as much he did in classical arts. Dhond apparently lost a fortune in the stock market before India’s independence. But it didn’t deter him from staying in the market.
Bhende saw it as a contradiction.
I don’t see it that way after reading Nicholas Taleb.
