Talking about the tips Jhunjhunwala had given, Kela said, "He (Jhunjhunwala) had told me to think 20 times before investing and think 50 times before selling."

This means that you should know what you are getting into and you should also know the cons of selling early.

He (Jhunjhunwala) also used to say that there may be a lot on the table but you should eat what you can digest, Kela said.
