Booms, Busts and Market Cycles

Throughout this book, you'll encounter dialogues―some real, others imagined―that bring investing to life through characters who challenge, provoke and amuse. Vikram and Betal wrestle with paradoxes. Bholu embodies the linear thinking common to many retail investors. Alongside them, the Buddha and Mahavir lend their voices as Maneesh Dangi explores probabilistic thinking counterfactuals, iterative processes and the layered truths of market cycles―ideas rooted in our ethos. You'll also meet Vijay from Agneepath, who risks everything for conviction; the Joker, who thrives in chaos; and Thanos, who sees markets as governed by brutal discipline.
