I came across this interesting but sad article where the husband is seeking a divorce because she lost some 30L in the stock market crash. Ridiculous really!
A few days back I decided to invest some money in mutual funds although I am not a finance expert. The going was good and my investment doubled. I had completely forgotten about it and when I recently checked(after the market crash) I saw that that the value of the shares had actually come down 20% below what I had invested. I called up to ask the mutual fund agent to get an idea on when the situation would improve. He just answered ” Boss, when the stocks were booming you didn’t even bother calling me thanking me. Now that the market it crashing everyone calls me asking for an explanation”. It sounded very sane.
If I were the wife, I would just slipper the guy for having played with my life. Twisted World!!
