Jhunjhunwala had a simple answer: Nothing, but "great humility". "The first quality any investor should possess is optimism," he said in unequivocal terms.Globally, he saw two big factors that may dent India's growth story - unstable currency and China with high debt.However, he was of the view that crude oil and trade frictions will not materially impact markets."Global economic slowdown does not necessarily mean it will impact financial markets” Jhunjhunwala said.
