"Think about this, you know financial loss and market inefficiency and just plain error offend me more than almost anything a human can do to me." is the biggest insight into the brilliance of Taylor Mason. Wow. Just wow. #Billions
I thought this last episode of #Billions was huge, one of the best. Great time to take a break and nice reference to Corona virus. I'm now waiting for a reference to Robinhood traders!
So David Costabile directed this last one and I checked IMDB, it's his first directorial. What a debut! Respect to show runners @briankoppelman@andrewrsorkin
David Costabile has been in a LOT of TV series before Billions. See if you can find him in Breaking Bad. He's come a long way. He owns Wags.
I can go on and on but I'll end with this. I said this last year and I'm happy that I was wrong. (PS: Also, coincidence but Rick Hoffman!)
Markets are at all-time highs. I think this is why. Thread.
Three things are getting 'factored in' (fancy word for assumed) by investors: a) Modi 350+ in May 2024 b) India GDP at 7%+ for foreseeable future and c) US Fed rate cuts (and RBI) start next year. These are big assumptions.
What can go wrong? If any of the previous three assumptions do not happen. But talking of what can go wrong, take a few steps and look at the past 4 years..
Myth 1 'jobs suck': People survive and grow out of bad jobs, usually learning something good. And usually? it's the people (around you) who suck, not the job. Which brings me to..
Myth 2 'politics suck': Politics are an unfortunate reality. Deal with them at work and you'll grow as a person. If you're good at what you do, eventually you'll get better offers... (1/2)
Income - expenses = savings (and investment). Simple tips for all three.
Income: salaried job? check your appointment letter, CTC in detail. Max out tax savings using PPF, NPS, etc. keep track of perks, benefits, etc (medical, HRA, leave allowance).
Income: consultant? Maintain records well. Check your TDS rate versus slab rate. Keep depositing advance tax in time. Pay your GST on time (I do it when I get client fees).
