Recommending all of them πŸ‘‡πŸΌ
Billion Dollar Whale is a fascinating story about how one mastermind was able to rob billions of dollars from Malaysian Sovereign Fund and use that money to finance everything from parties with Paris Hilton to the movie Wolf of Wall Street.

Thrilling and Insightful πŸ’° Image

Steven Levy is one of my favourite authors πŸ” Image
If you're a fan of history and geopolitics then this one is for you.

The Rise and Fall of Nations by Ruchir Sharma has to be one of the best books written on global political landscape and the rules that govern them today. πŸŒ‡ Image
Re read this gem of a book. Enough has been written about it, best one to pick up esp if you're a beginner in investing.

The text that was written in early 90s is still relevant after decades. πŸ’Ή Image
I read about David Sinclair's research a few years ago. The idea that growing old is a disease and like any other disease, can be cured intrigued me.

The author presents detailed arguments why human lifespan can be increased beyond its current limit.

Interesting Read. πŸ‘΄πŸ½ Image

Lot of IPOs hitting the market. As a general rule, I stay away from applying for IPOs. Here are a few reasons why πŸ‘‡πŸΌ

1️⃣ Companies are dressed up a year or so before IPO to allure investors

2️⃣ Insiders get an opportunity after waiting for years to liquidate their investment
3️⃣ Most IPOs are aimed at giving insiders an exit rather than raising growth capital for a company

4️⃣ I look at IPOs 3 to 4 quarters out, this gives me enough clarity on what the company has done post raising funds. By this time insiders had liquidated whatever they wanted to.
5️⃣ The initial exuberance dies down post 3 to 4 quarters and price action settles down

This strategy has worked out for me quite well and has prevented me from sucking into the euphoria of market.

Lesson from Super Investors πŸ‘‡πŸΌ
Case Study #1
Company: Mastek
Super Investor: Ashish Kacholia aka @LuckyInvest_AK

@LuckyInvest_AK is praised for his stock picks in a bull market.

Very few realize the patience and temperament required to hold through a stock position in a bear market.
As per public filings, we know Ashish sir, picked up a 1.73% stake in @Mastekltd sometime between Jun and Sep of 2018.

The Oil drop in Reliance Logo has been replaced with a leaf #RelianceAGM
Okay, that's the foundations logo.
Moving on.

50% of EBITDA came from consumer business. Reliance is no longer an oil and chemical company.
Reliance Retail is 6x the size of next competitor in organized retail.

It's a shame that Walmart and not Reliance acquired Flipkart.

It's the weekend!

Grab a cup of coffee, in this thread I will explain

1. What is index investing?
2. Why S&P 500, Nasdaq 100 and DIJA are different?
3. How to create your own indexes?

Let's dive right in.
You may have noticed at the start of every book, there is a page which lists out various chapters and the page number for each chapter.

This is called the index of contents of the book.

It helps you understand what is where and give you a general idea how to read the book.
Similarly in the world of finance, we have financial indexes that are used to indicate where the overall market is trading.

Is it high or is it low?
Is it cheap or is it expensive?

These questions can be answered by looking at the index.
