Balm of hurt minds, great nature’s second course,
Chief nourisher in life’s feast.”
In simpler words:

Observing a lot of selling from employees of small & mid-cap IT companies; Recency bias or they know better?

A small mediocre IPO from the space got the attention of a superstar: Shuffling for a quick buck?

10 Key Lessons From the Book “Black Swan” By: Nassim Taleb

⚡️Book Review⚡️


1. Don’t chase black swans, instead, let them permeate your life.

👉You can do this by experimenting, cultivating serendipity,

🚫not taking bell curves too seriously, and investing in lots of small outlier but high-risk opportunities.

2. Black swan events Key attributes:

- Extremely impactful
- Are outlier events
- Are retrospectively predictable, not prospectively predictable

🚫Try to avoid situations that can fool you in a huge way, and avoid depending on huge, and potentially harmful predictions.

3. Randomness mainly comes from lack of knowledge

Surviving until tomorrow could mean that you’re either more likely to be immortal, or closer to death.

👉Both of these conclusions are based on the same exact data.

4. Unknowns are more important than the knowns

👉We can master things in one field and fail to transfer the same to another.

Everyone has their own limitations when it comes to learning from experience or observation.

Here are some lessons I learned from reading this book:

Can't Hurt Me, by #DavidGoggins

Thread (1/10)


1. It doesn’t always go your way

Life won’t always go your way, so if you start thinking that it will, you’ll be disappointed and less effective

Instead of focusing on what you think you deserve, figure out what u want and be willing to pay the dues required to get it

2/10


2. The 40% rule

When your mind is telling you that you’re done, completely exhausted and not able to go any further, you’re only at about 40% of your potential

Keep fighting when you feel like you’re done, and that’s when you unlock the remaining 60% of your potential

3/10


3. No one is going to help you

Don’t wait for someone else to help you.

If it’s your dream, it’s on YOU. If you wait, you’ll be waiting until you’re on your deathbed if you don’t take action.

4/10


4. Callous your mind

When you’re ready to quit, stay the course. See how far you can go.

This will help you when things get tough. You’ll learn to work hard even when you don’t want to. That will pay off on your path.

Thought it was too simple !

Now in 2021, I think this is one of the best books to absorb & implement.

Investing means different things to different people - Be it health/ career/external assets with an intent to reap benefits in future.

So then is everyone an Investor ?
No.
When people do different things with even same investment products we give it a different name.
👇

Investing is a PERSONAL Plan .
It's NOT a product . NOT a procedure.

One needs to have a clear picture of one's financials BEFORE making an investment plan.

Investment products comprise of items with distinct characteristics DESIGNED to satisfy a particular need.
👇

Nothing is permanent except CHANGE.
Same applies for market cycles.
Different Asset Classes help us in that.

By smart movement one can increase the velocity of one's money.

It is NOT about timing the markets.
It's ABOUT the trends in an asset class.

Few pointers

🎉🎉 PHP 7.3 is here!

Here are the things I'm excited about.

🚂 Trailing commas in function/method calls!

This will certainly be a required styling choice for me. Same delightful benefits of trailing comma in multi-line PHP arrays, and JavaScript objects.


🧵 Less disgusting heredoc syntax!

Inlining heredoc strings in any way right now is grrrosssss. Now we get sensible capabilities. Everything that was wrong with it is now fixed!

(Ignore the bad syntax highlighting)


☠️ Finally, not-so-silent json_decode error detection!

This really sucked before, now it just sucks a bit less (who wants to pass a 4th param and pass 2 default params first? (helper function anybody?)


📜 Not horrible functions for getting the first and last item (or key) from an array!

Before you either strung a bunch of functions together or messed with internal array pointers. This is a much-needed improvement.

A relationship begins to get stiff when excessive patterns begin to form.

Too many patterns leads to a boring, predictable, logical lifestyle.

Get the emotions involved.

Do something spontaneous out of the blue moon & flip the script.

'What's wrong with the patterns?'

Nothing is wrong with patterns.

However, there is a problem when all you have are patterns.

It's boring.

'Can you explain why?'

Sure 👇

The thing with relationships is that it's meant to be an emotional experience.

It's very difficult to logically explain love, right?

'Right.'

Well this is where you want to steer the ship the right way.

1. Too emotional is bad.

2. Too logical is bad.

Let me break it down.

1. Too emotional

If a relationship is completely ruled by emotions, then it's too volatile.

You will never reach productivity if you are aimlessly only following each others emotions.

This lifestyle tarnishes any structure for the couple.

'So why do people do it?'

Because it's fun.

You may ruled by this stage in the honeymoon phase.

Normal.

You'll be so spontaneous that it almost becomes a lifestyle.

But it's hard to level up your life when you're too spontaneous.

Avoid.

The Straddle is my favorite trade these days. But more often than not, one needs to adjust to make a good return from it. There are many ways to do this depending on your view, psychology and imagination. Will discuss a few that I use

The Straddle is a delta neutral strategy and it is important to keep deltas in check during the course of the Trade and not let them run away from you. Of course Volatility is the elephant in the room- but not going there as that will require a separate discussion

The first and most common method is to go 'inverted.' That is to say to shift the untested side to generate additional Premium and increase the runway to Breakeven. So if you start with a Straddle at 700 and price goes to 740, you can move the PE up to say 720.

How much should you move the untested side? While again this is a matter of skill, experience and artistry, the rule of thumb is to cut deltas by half. Remember, prices will move and you have to allow sufficient room for them to fluctuate

The second method is to shift the entire Straddle in the direction of the move. So if you have a 700 Straddle and Price goes to 740, you can shift the Straddle to 720. If you time this right, it can generally be done at virtually no cost or minimal cost.

Me : Do you map?
X : Yes
Me : Like this?
X : No. What's that?
Me : A map of a tea shop.


X : Why is that a map?
Me : Long story, all to do with how space has meaning. To keep it short, maps help people to focus on user needs, the components involved, to communicate missing components and scenario play ideas like staff becoming robots.


Me : They’re also good for measuring and managing capital flow, making investment decisions, removing bias and getting rid of duplication.
X : I don’t see how that helps with innovation?


Me : Well, innovation is a tricky word because we use it to describe many things. If you’re talking about differentiation with the adjacent unexplored then you’re experimenting in the “uncharted” space e.g. immortality with magic provided by the special custom built kettle.


X : That sounds like nonsense.
Me : A lot of what people think will be the next great innovation is nonsense. Actually, most of it is. That’s the nature of the uncharted space, it’s experimental, high risk and generally results in failure.
X : We need more reliable innovation.

Thread: History of Mogadishu and it’s conquest by Imaam Al Yaqubi


One of the First Imaams of the Hiraab Imamate was Mohamed Ibn Imaam Ahmed ibn Imam Ahmed Ibn Imaam Mohamoud Ibn Imaam Cumar Halol Al Yacquubi (Abgaal) during the year 1097 hijri.


After the collapse of the Ajuuran Abgaal nomads from the interior had started moving to take over the strategic port town of Mogadishu which was then under the muzzafar dynasty. By the 1600s Abgaal warriors had captured the city and set up their base in shingaani.


Mogadishu at the time was a large and well known port town. The Abgaal clan taking over control allowed them to obtain political power and world wide recognition.


Under Imaam Yaqubi’s time in power it’s reported that French merchants had arrived at the port in 1701
and stayed for 11 days. They had attempted to take the city but were successfully repulsed.
