Hum nahin sudharenge ...

Yesterday, an article I wrote appeared in Mint.  (See the link below)

Understanding the line “past performance may or may not be sustained”

The article talked about how looking at a single period could be unfair and wrong.

And another newspaper surprised us by carrying a very similar article - repeating the same mistake today.

Her is the link to that article:

Sector funds beat diversified peers in 10-year SIP returns

Remember Infrastructure funds outperformed the diversified funds in 2007-08 and Tech funds beat these funds hands down in 1999-2000.

Lekin hum nahin sudharenge.

Draw conclusions based not on one but various time periods

Conclusions should not be made based on one game. It is unfair, and it is also incorrect
