Is investing in water possible?

The film, The Big Short that stars top Hollywood actors like Brad Pitt, Christian Bale, Ryan Gosling and Steve Carell.

If you have watched it closely, the film ends(before credits) with this quote about Bale's character, Michael Burry:

"The small investing he still does is all focused on one commodity: water."

To give you a recap, Michael Burry is the person who predicted the 2008 crisis and also made a lot of money by shorting the market.

And, now he is focusing on investing in water.

But why water?

Water is a scarce commodity, where only 1% of the Earth's surface water is freshwater.

Burry has been buying water and farmland assets before it gets expensive. Even Wall Street has started treating water as a serious investment.

How can you trade or invest in water?

There are index funds, ETFs, companies that focus only on water. Invesco S&P Global Water Index is one of them. This ETF invests in water utilities, infrastructure, equipment, etc.

The dollar returns are 15% in the past five years, 12% in the past ten years. The rupee returns would be even higher.

Apart from this, there is also the First Trust Water ETF (FIW). It invests in companies that get most of their revenues from the potable and wastewater industry.

Water is a daily essential but never considered part of a portfolio. If you feel the scarcity of water will increase due to climate change, consider investing in water.

Know the index structure & what your are buying!

To keep it simple, N500 index fund is sufficient, as it covers 95% of the entire market.
Or

N100 is 78% of the market, where N50+NN50 is 80:20 ratio.
Have higher risk appetite? buy 50:50 of N50+N100.

It's the weekend!
Grab a cup of coffee, in this thread I will explain

1. What are ETFs?
2. How are they different from Mutual Funds?
3. What are factors to consider while investing in ETFs?

Lets dive right in.

ETFs stand for Exchange Traded Funds

The easiest way to understand them is to think of them as Mutual Funds that are traded on the exchange just like stocks.

(technically, ETFs are nothing like Mutual Funds)

ETFs are structured as pools of investment that are inclined to

a. lower the fees associated with investment
b. shift the bulk load of fees to frequent traders of the ETF than holders
c. allow investors to invest in diverse set of securities / asset classes easily

ETFs originated after the stock market crash of 1987 in US

'Passive Investing' was the new shiny thing and investors wanted a low cost way to invest in the index without any manager actively managing their investments

Enter Nate Most

Nate Most is known as the father of ETFs
A physicist by training, Nate got the idea of ETF from warehouse receipts

#DoYouKnow -The place where
Lalitha Sahasranamam -1000 names of Devi originated.

It is in Lalithambigai temple -Thirumeeyachur,Near Mayiladuthurai,TN

There is a Legend #story & it is related to this beautiful #sculpture of Kshetrapuraneswarar & Ambal Lalithambigai #Thread 👇

#Legend #story
It is believed that this is birth place of Kashyapa Maharishi’s sons, Arunan& Garudan. Arunan(charioteer of Surya)was physically handicapped.He was a Shiva devotee.Arunan wanted to visit Kailash to have Shiva Darshan,but Surya Dev denied permission.

So Arunan disguised as a girl & was on his way to Kailash.On the way Surya Dev saw this girl & outraged her modesty.Shiva was very angry with Suryan for misbehaviour & cursed him to get darkened. Whole world plunged into darkness.Surya Dev pleaded to Bhagwan Shiv to forgive him.

Shiva Bhagwan asked him to go to Thirumiyachur & worship him there. As advised, Surya Dev performed rigorous penance, placed murthi of Shiva& Parvathy on an elephant & took them to the clouds.Shiva in this temple is known as Meganathaswamy,Devi is known as Lalithambigai

Even after severe penance,Shiva does appear,so Surya Dev cries out in agony.Disturbed by his call, Parvathy protests.Siva pacifies her & offers relief to Surya Dev.The sculpture of Shiva pacifying Ambal shows her sullen from one angle &smiling from another.

This is a pretty valiant attempt to defend the "Feminist Glaciology" article, which says conventional wisdom is wrong, and this is a solid piece of scholarship. I'll beg to differ, because I think Jeffery, here, is confusing scholarship with "saying things that seem right".

Imagine for a moment the most obscurantist, jargon-filled, po-mo article the politically correct academy might produce. Pure SJW nonsense. Got it? Chances are you're imagining something like the infamous "Feminist Glaciology" article from a few years back.https://t.co/NRaWNREBvR pic.twitter.com/qtSFBYY80S

The article is, at heart, deeply weird, even essentialist. Here, for example, is the claim that proposing climate engineering is a "man" thing. Also a "man" thing: attempting to get distance from a topic, approaching it in a disinterested fashion.

Also a "man" thing—physical courage. (I guess, not quite: physical courage "co-constitutes" masculinist glaciology along with nationalism and colonialism.)

There's criticism of a New York Times article that talks about glaciology adventures, which makes a similar point.

At the heart of this chunk is the claim that glaciology excludes women because of a narrative of scientific objectivity and physical adventure. This is a strong claim! It's not enough to say, hey, sure, sounds good. Is it true?

Sri Mridanga Saileswari Temple Muzhakkunnu, Kannur KERALA

The temple is established by Parasurama and it is one among 108 Durga temples.
Devi will answer all the prayers of her devotees who pray to her with utmost devotion lighting the ghee deepam.

It is the family diety of Kerala Varma Pazhassi Raja.
Devi is present in three forms Kali, Saraswati and Lakshmi.

Legend...👇
Once a Mridungam ( musical instrument) shaped rock fell from heaven here.
@SriramKannan77

Devi originated in the form of Mridangam and Parasurama captivated the essence of Devi into a Vigraham. Vigraham is made of Panchaloham.
Kathakali, an art form of Kerala originated here.

Temple Vigraham was stolen 3-4 times, but because of power of Devi all the attempts were failure. Police records says that Whenever the thieves try to steal, they lose their senses, and they will be in a confused state. So they will abandon the idol.

Some quick thoughts on Sam Gyimah's resignation after conversations with various Conservative MPs: 1) the chances of a second referendum are a lot higher than I thought:

2) At this point, if you are a young and ambitious Tory MP it is now so overwhelmingly in your interest to vote against the withdrawal agreement. V v hard to see how Julian Smith can cap rebellion at under 100:

3) Really just to reiterate 1) Gyimah is the kind of "No, never gonna rebel" vaguely pro-EU Tory you'd need to get on side to outweigh Labour Leavers and Real Concerners.

(THREAD) Pre-election Russia collusion may take down Trump. It's equally possible the Trumps' pre- and post-election collusion with Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Israel will do it—a course of collusion also connected to the Kremlin. I explain here. I hope you'll read on and retweet.

1/ I must stress how unbelievably complex the "Grand Bargain" theory of the Trump-Russia case is—a different thing from saying it's not substantiated. It's substantiated in *almost every single particular*—it just *also* happens to be very confusing. Not byzantine—just confusing.

2/ The basics: Saudi Arabia, Israel, and the UAE all view Iran as their chief regional enemy. Iran is propped up by Russia. Therefore the Saudis, Israelis, and Emiratis all need a US government willing to find a way to get the Kremlin to *stop* supporting Iran in the Middle East.

3/ The best way to get Russia to stop supporting Iran—or reduce support—was/is to drop all sanctions on Russia over its 2014 annexation of Crimea, as that'd be worth *trillions* to the Kremlin over the next decade. Everyone knew that Clinton wouldn't do this—and that Trump would.

4/ Per the NYT, on August 3, 2016, Donald Trump Jr. met secretly at Trump Tower with a Saudi and Emirati emissary, George Nader, as well as an Israeli intelligence expert, Joel Zamel, with *significant* ties to both Israeli intelligence *and* Russian oligarchs allied with Putin.
