1) Bonds are for storing wealth and equities are for creation of wealth.
2) In my opinion, the biggest asset one can have is zero debt.
3) The greatest discipline in personal finance is living below your means. #investing
4) As Ben Carlson says, emotions cannot be back tested. That’s why past bear market always looks like opportunities and future ones scary.
5) Early financial independence and early retirement are completely different. To me, the former is a blessing and the latter is a curse.
6) Don’t think how it would have been if you’ve started 10 years ago. Start today and visualise how you would feel 10 years from now.
7) The neighbourhood we live determines our life style & spending. Need to be careful in choosing one which matches our goals and personality.
8) Paying minimum balance regularly on credit card is the maximum sign that you’re getting into debt trap.
9) Many are long term investors till next bear market.
10) Don’t take aggressive bets. Take measured risk. Remember one blunder can push you back by a decade or more.
11) Big money can be made through high savings, wise investing and lots of patience.
12) One sign of progress in individual investor’s portfolio is no churn or very less churn.
13) Trying to get rich fast is a foolproof way to lose what we have.
14) Losing opportunities is far better than losing money. Don’t invest in fads.
15) “Making as much money as quickly as possible” is not an investment strategy. Unfortunately for most of us that is the strategy.
16) Aggressive strategy cannot be a substitute for high savings. Save high and take moderate risk than saving less and taking high risk.
17) The day we realise not losing is as important as winning; we would stop blindly chasing returns.
18)Good periods are more than bad periods. By not timing, though we go through bad periods, do not miss even a single good period.
19)We’ll stop looking for quick money the moment we consider stocks as businesses and realise that our wealth grows in line with business growth
20) There are periods of high returns, low returns, no returns and negative returns. We need to go through all these to get long term returns.
21) Listening to market forecasts is not only useless but can be very harmful too; if you start acting on them.
22) The hard truth is only around 3% of our population are in a position to aspire for financial independence. Don’t waste this rare privilege. #Investing

Doctor’s round table on India Today Channel having 4 highly reputed Doctors panel. It was very informative & I would like to pen down few important points made by these qualified Doctors : 1) Plasma therapy is not at all recommended in the 2nd wave by WHO or any
other Organisations around the World. It is waste of time & money. 2) If needed, CT scan of lungs to be done between 5th to 7th day, otherwise report may be misguiding. 3) No need of any Medication in the 1st week of infection, except Paracetamol (if fever persists)
along with Multivitamins & Zinc. In case of Fever Paracetamol should not be taken SOS but regularly in 6 hourly interval.
4)If symptoms continue, Condition worsens in 2nd week between 7th & 10th day, so pl. keep close monitoring on Oxygen, Coughing frequency, Pulse & Temperature
Sharing below a post from Hanuman Mal Bengani the ex CEO of Linde India.
Linde is one of the largest oxygen producers in India.
“Having spent my life time of 45 years in oxygen industry and involved with setting up 50% of production capacities in 🇮🇳 #India
(as business head of Linde) I can share few things which will probably clear some of your thoughts. First few facts:
1) Industrial and medical oxygen are same product produced in same plant, stored in same tanks and filled in same cylinders. #IndiaFightsCOVID19 #8 Oxygen
For medical oxygen the gas company just have to analyse each batch and certify. No other difference. In fact for industrial we need 99.5% pure oxygen where as for medical as per pharmocopea all over world is 93+\-3%. #CovidResources
Merck takes distance; you don't want to embark on a possible genocide.
Ken Frazier, CEO of the world's leading vaccine producer, the pharmaceutical company Merck & Co., in an interview with Professor Tsedal Neeley, from Harvard Business School, recalled that the fastest vaccine
ever brought to market was medicine. from Merck against mumps, it took about four years!
- Merck's vaccine for Ebola took five and a half years and was only approved in Europe this month.
- The tuberculosis vaccine took 13 years! Rotavirus 15 years! and chickenpox 28 years !
- Frazier explained that the vaccine development process takes a long time because it requires rigorous scientific evaluation. In the case of Covid, "we don't even understand the virus itself or how the virus affects the immune system ..."
The book, "The six husbands every wife should have" (the book is written by a husband - Dr. Steven Craig) talks about how a husband has to constantly grow, evolve and renew himself at least six times, by the time he turns 60....
For as people grow, their relationship and the relationship's needs change. (The book's premise is that women do it naturally as they become home-keepers and mothers and grandmothers.)
1st husband - At the time of marriage, the husband has to be fun, carefree, full of dreams and
potential...The couple should make each other laugh and feel good about each other.
2nd husband - After a couple of years, the husband has to grow out of his carefree, fun and life-of-every-party ways. He needs to get established in his career and begin preparing for a family.
A small thread based on a Whatsapp report on Specturm holdings :
Do your due diligence:
If one look at the total spectrum portfolio of #VodafoneIdea and its total worth and the expiry date and compare that with Airtel and Jio .
VIL is the market leader in holding highest quantities in 900, 1800, 2100 and 2500 MHz ranges. It holds 143, 178, 195, 370 mhz in each band. Airtel and Jio have less spectrum than VIL.
Valididity of VIL`s spectrum. Most of them has starts expiring from 2030 onwards only.
It has very less spectrum expiring in next 10 years . So their 4G spectrum capex going to be very minimal in next 15 years compared to Jio and Airtel.
But if you look at Jio which is using RCOM`s spectrum in 800 MHz band and it`s own 800 MHz is expiring in 2021.
