One thing of interest was Kal's role as CEO of DrugStore.com - its important to note that at one point of time, drugstore.com was valued at aprrox $68 and it finally became a penny stock. Kal, maintained his cool at that time in all the hoopla and he often told his co workers - "we all have beautiful wives, A/C cars, and great homes, i grew up in a situation where food was doubtful for days" - in a sense his background helped him but, i think he also identified the frenzy that was around him at that point of time. And i think his upbringing guarded him to eventually be more rational. Im reading up quite a bit on investing etc. and the common mistakes that investors can make and the forms of frenzy that came up during the dotcom bust. So hopefully il be able to add that perspective in a few weeks. Ankit - do keep that 'weekly feature coulmn' yaar!
