“Hf you ‘are a gambler, you
might take some of. your profits
and invest: in more : speculative

recorded annual results of his total
RIGs portfolio ranging from a
gain of 65.5 per cent in 1983 to a

Chakrapani said.

“This strategy is suitable for
conservative investors. It increases

‘your total return over the years,

decreases the loss in any given year
and softens the blow. should
everything go wrong in a given
period.”
