Indexing

I have been thinking on these lines recently. Why should I not index a part of my folio and let it sleep for a few years?

I might actually do so, with 20% of my equity folio or so! I was reading about William Ruane of Sequoia and his answers struck in my mind. And also Warrens advice on the same lines makes a lot of sense.

I intend to add at least 1 index fund probably tracking NIFTY.

And read this good line today quoted by Albert Hettinger!

“Don’t use margin. If you’re smart, you would never need to borrow money in the first place. If you’re dumb, you may go broke.”
