Sad news to hear about his sudden demise. He was unique as an analyst. There were lot of great and not so great things but he made a mark and was extremely successful trader and author.
He was the star trader and analyst before social media usage spiked up.
I admired his sense of fashion. He was there on television almost everyday and was always elegantly dressed. Never seen him wear the same suit twice on the television. Each day, a new outfit, Not that cheap stuff from chandni chowk, but real expensive clothing. Someone who was dressed for success and had the determination to achieve bigger goals.
For me. I see him as someone who also knew how to enjoy his earnings from the market. I recall reading him post a tweet on Twitter about how he had rented out this vacation villa in another country and was having a good time with his family. He was very generous to his family, and we hope he left cherished memories for them. Condolences to his family members, if any of them are reading this.
An interesting theme I can remember from one of his speech is, “First, get rid of the idea that you are going to be the next jhunjhunwala and have your expectations adjusted to what is realistically possible with your trading capital.”
Now that he has decided to exercise his put option, rest in peace, Gujral Ji.
I don’t think I knew Ashwani Gujral before this thread.
The recurring thought of a sudden death does have merit, the possibility of the eventuality always exists.
On another note, from what I have read in a reply, looks like he lived in the moment too, so while one can plan retirement in his hometown to owning a private island in Greece, deriving joy from the moments that we are living when they are happening should not be forgotten too.
