    Hi Shabbir,

    I was reading 'Reach Dad Prophecy' which is around potential downturns/losses at stock market and am wondering if we can look at different avenues for investing and hedging against loss in any one of investment classes. What's your thought on this? If and how can we start in this way?

    Regards,
    Ganesh

    Yes it is always recommended to minimize your losses and you can do that by investing in a downturn and also in solid companies that do not fall much or are resistance towards fall.

    Hedging is recommended but I am a very aggressive investor and so I avoid hedging and prefer to take the risk and invest in better companies and invest further if the outlook of the company is good but falls due to market correction.
