If you've truly found the next $AMZN, $AAPL, or $NFLX and can hold for years, it's nearly impossible to overpay.

Millennials have seen tech crash, 2008, and now #COVID19
I'm worried that many of them will swear off the stock market -- the greatest wealth-building device ever -- for life.

Amazing slide from @socialcapital on how $AMZN gradually turned all of its major costs into sources of revenue
This is beyond brilliant
Warren Buffett is worth $90 billion
$89.7 billion of that was generated after he turned 50
Characteristics of stocks with 10x potential:
1) Market cap <$5 billion

As the DeFi bull market continues, some brutally honest tips for new founders fundraising in crypto.
👇
1/ The discount you offer to strategic investors is both to account for the risk of an unlaunched product, but also as compensation for continued value add and support.
So make sure you know the investor will support you and not leave you on read once the docs are signed!
2/ Having someone on your cap table/ token allocation is as important as hiring.
You wouldn't hire someone just because they are influencers on Twitter- you do your reference checks and find evidence of value add from other companies the investor has invested in.
3/ Don't trust, verify.
Many investors will promise you the world when they're trying to get on your cap table.
Talk to founders they backed to see how much of it is bullshit. Ask them about how the investor was there for them during hard times.
4/ Don't just go for "name brand" funds because you want the brand.
Sure, it's great validation, but optimize for fit, not vanity.
However, I do think many well-known VCs are good actors, especially those with roots in successful trad VCs. They have a rep for a reason!

Equity/ownership is a force. Getting it in the hands of the right people generously will drive alignment and execution.

1. Let's start option selling learning.

Strangle selling. ( I am doing mostly in weekly Bank Nifty)
When to sell? When VIX is below 15
Assume spot is at 27500
Sell 27100 PE & 27900 CE
say premium for both 50-50
If bank nifty will move in narrow range u will get profit from both.

Nothing big deal in that.
For selling weekly option just identify last week low and high.
Now from that low and high keep 1-1.5% distance from strike.
And sell option on both side.

Already giving more than 2% return in a week. Now I will prefer to sell 32500 call at 74 to make it strangle in equal ratio.

1/OK, data mystery time.
This New York Times feature shows China with a Gini Index of less than 30, which would make it more equal than Canada, France, or the Netherlands. https://t.co/g3Sv6DZTDE
That's weird. Income inequality in China is legendary.
Let's check this number.
2/The New York Times cites the World Bank's recent report, "Fair Progress? Economic Mobility across Generations Around the World".
The report is available here:
3/The World Bank report has a graph in which it appears to show the same value for China's Gini - under 0.3.
The graph cites the World Development Indicators as its source for the income inequality data.
4/The World Development Indicators are available at the World Bank's website.
Here's the Gini index: https://t.co/MvylQzpX6A
It looks as if the latest estimate for China's Gini is 42.2.
That estimate is from 2012.
5/A Gini of 42.2 would put China in the same neighborhood as the U.S., whose Gini was estimated at 41 in 2013.
I can't find the <30 number anywhere. The only other estimate in the tables for China is from 2008, when it was estimated at 42.8.
