Most people want to be an investor

But most people don't understand common investing terms.

Here are 10 terms that every investor should know:

1/ Dollar Cost Averaging

This is when you invest a fixed amount of money on a regular basis.

It does not matter what the stock market or individual stock price is doing.

When you use this method, you don't have to time the stock market.
2/ Cynical Stocks

These are stocks that move in cycles with the broader economy

For example, when the economy is booming, airlines and hospitality stocks are booming as well.

If the economy sucks, people don't have the extra money to purchase airline tickets.
3/ Book Value Per Share

This is a ratio that takes the firms common equity divided by its number of shares outstanding

A possible undervalued stock will have a higher book value per share compared to its underlying stock price.
4/ Intrinsic value

Intrinsic value is when you determine the true value of a stock price.

Once you determine intrinsic value, you can determine if the stock price is undervalued or overvalued.

Warren Buffett preaches finding the intrinsic value of a stock.
5/ Discount Cash Flow

DCF is a valuation method used to find the intrinsic value of a stock based on future cash flows.

The present value of expected future cash flows is arrived at by using a projected discount rate.

This is the formula that I use.
6/ Market Capitalization

The market cap is what is used to determine the size of every public company.

When you look at the value of a company, you should look at the market cap before the share price.

Market Cap = Current Share Price * Total Number of Shares Outstanding
7/ PEG Ratio

The price/earnings to growth ratio is a stock's p/e ratio divided by the growth rate of its earnings for a specific period.

This ratio is used to determine a company's value while factoring in future earning's growth.

A PEG ratio below 1 is undervalued
8/ Price-Sales Ratio

The price-sales ratio is a valuation ratio that compares a company's stock price to its revenues.

Basically each dollar that the company makes is given a value.

This ratio shows how much investors are willing to pay per sales the company makes
9/ Return on Equity

ROE is a measurement of how efficient a company is in using its assets from their shareholders to create earnings.

The higher the ROE, the more efficient a company's management is at generating income and growth
10/ Rule of 72

The rule of 72 is a simple formula that is used to estimate the number of years required to double the invested money at a given annual rate of return

It is best used when the rate of return is between 6-10%

दधीचि ऋषि को मनाही थी कि वह अश्विनी कुमारों को किसी भी अवस्था में ब्रह्मविद्या का उपदेश नहीं दें। ये आदेश देवराज इन्द्र का था।वह नहीं चाहते थे कि उनके सिंहासन को प्रत्यक्ष या परोक्ष रुप से कोई भी खतरा हो।मगर जब अश्विनी कुमारों ने सहृदय प्रार्थना की तो महर्षि सहर्ष मान गए।


और उन्होनें ब्रह्मविद्या का ज्ञान अश्विनि कुमारों को दे दिया। गुप्तचरों के माध्यम से जब खबर इन्द्रदेव तक पहुंची तो वे क्रोध में खड़ग ले कर गए और महर्षि दधीचि का सर धड़ से अलग कर दिया।मगर अश्विनी कुमार भी कहां चुप बैठने वाले थे।उन्होने तुरंत एक अश्व का सिर महर्षि के धड़ पे...


...प्रत्यारोपित कर उन्हें जीवित रख लिया।उस दिन के पश्चात महर्षि दधीचि अश्वशिरा भी कहलाए जाने लगे।अब आगे सुनिये की किस प्रकार महर्षि दधीचि का सर काटने वाले इन्द्र कैसे अपनी रक्षा हेतु उनके आगे गिड़गिड़ाए ।

एक बार देवराज इन्द्र अपनी सभा में बैठे थे, तो उन्हे खुद पर अभिमान हो आया।


वे सोचने लगे कि हम तीनों लोकों के स्वामी हैं। ब्राह्मण हमें यज्ञ में आहुति देते हैं और हमारी उपासना करते हैं। फिर हम सामान्य ब्राह्मण बृहस्पति से क्यों डरते हैं ?उनके आने पर क्यों खड़े हो जाते हैं?वे तो हमारी जीविका से पलते हैं। देवर्षि बृहस्पति देवताओं के गुरु थे।

अभिमान के कारण ऋषि बृहस्पति के पधारने पर न तो इन्द्र ही खड़े हुए और न ही अन्य देवों को खड़े होने दिया।देवगुरु बृहस्पति इन्द्र का ये कठोर दुर्व्यवहार देख कर चुप चाप वहां से लौट गए।कुछ देर पश्चात जब देवराज का मद उतरा तो उन्हे अपनी गलती का एहसास हुआ।

RT-PCR corona (test) scam

Symptomatic people are tested for one and only one respiratory virus. This means that other acute respiratory infections are reclassified as


2/12

It is tested exquisitely with a hypersensitive non-specific RT-PCR test / Ct >35 (>30 is nonsense, >35 is madness), without considering Ct and clinical context. This means that more acute respiratory infections are reclassified as


3/12

The Drosten RT-PCR test is fabricated in a way that each country and laboratory perform it differently at too high Ct and that the high rate of false positives increases massively due to cross-reaction with other (corona) viruses in the "flu


4/12

Even asymptomatic, previously called healthy, people are tested (en masse) in this way, although there is no epidemiologically relevant asymptomatic transmission. This means that even healthy people are declared as COVID


5/12

Deaths within 28 days after a positive RT-PCR test from whatever cause are designated as deaths WITH COVID. This means that other causes of death are reclassified as
