SBI Magnum Multiplier Fund Makes Investment Easy for a Long Term
“In the business world, the rear-view mirror is always clearer than the windshield.”
The above line is very well said by Warren Buffett, which can be explained as due to the eye-popping returns of stocks all the retail investors are here in the market today because they are aware of the fact that past performance does not guarantee future success. But can one drive a car by just by seeing the rear-view mirror? No, a driver should always try to look beyond the windshield, as even the bluest of the blue chips can lose its sheen at the drop of a hat in this ever-changing market.
