2 decades ago...when they launched their signature product "KITKAT"

(1/n) Image Commissioner of Excise challenged Kitkat...that it was not a WAFER but a CHOCOLATE..

Most successful investors will have 3-5 companies in 1-2 decade that made it big....

Question is - will you get these on day 1 of building your portfolio?

Will you know which company will make it BIG?

Answer is NO...

So what to do..?

Here are my thoughts..

🧵🧵

(1/n) We just hear success stories of famous investors who made it big in few companies by holding for long term...

But there are thousands who failed...thousands of companies closed down..just vanished..
