🔴America is going bankrupt and this is going to ruin your life.

America has borrowed $31 trillion and a debt to GDP of 129%. It cannot keep borrowing forever.

A threat🧵 Image
If a person takes a loan, he cannot keep taking new loans to pay the old ones. It's the same with countries too.

Imagine borrowing $31 trillion and then borrowing another $31 trillion to pay it back!
All the people who think US is a safe haven are going to lose their money. The dollar is losing ground and China will start dumping treasuries. The US is going bankrupt Image

I live in Silk Board, the flyover of my dreams 😶‍🌫️

A decent underwear costs Rs 245. People need at least 6 pairs of underwear, but if you are poor 3 will do. But did you know spending on underwear will cost you lakhs? 🤯😲🤯

Here's why I won't buy underwear🧵
To being with you need at least 6 underwears, which means, you'll have to spend Rs 1470. If you had invested at 12% in an index fund, you would've saved ₹ 44,048!!!!!
The world is getting hotter due to climate change, which means chafing will increase, which means, underwear will tear faster. So you'll need 6 more underwear every year.

So Rs 1470 (1470/12=122) every year at 12% for 50 years = 48 lakhs 🤯

Avg Indian life expectancy is 70!

Grap a cup of cabbage juice. I'll explain the 5 investing lessons I learnt from the #MaharashtraPolitcalCrisis

A 🧵☕
Lesson 1

This was the first lesson I learnt.
Lesson 2

This was the second lesson I learnt. Interestingly, I learnt this right after the 1st. Goes to show the randomness in life.

🧵A thread on why this tweet is wrong.

The anti-threader is confusing yarn and thread. Though used interchangeably, they are not the same. Yarn is mostly used for fabrics, while threads are used for garments.
Yarn is much weaker than thread. So even if you wanted to circle the solar system with yarn, you can't, it will snap. It's science.
Also, to circle the solar system, you need a spaceship and a bunch of spaceship drivers. It's too costly. The original tweeter has failed to consider the costs.

Someone asked me what to do in this bear market. I didn't know what to say. But there are 4 things you can do, the way I see it.

1. Sell everything. You won't make a loss tomorrow, but you won't make a profit the day after either.
2. Time the market. You'll probably suck at it. But by god's grace, if you're good, Zee Business will do a profile on you. It will be widely watched by 7 guys in Uttar Pradesh that will take a break from chewing gutka and watching funny saas bahu serial videos on Taka-tak.
3. Take the pain.

The next X months/years will feel like a financial colonoscopy by an MBBS trainee who's wearing wrong sized gloves and distracted because he saw the P&L of his blue-chip penny stonk portfolio. But on the bright side, you got the colonoscopy over with.
