In the late 1990s, there were several IPOs (in the USA) that altered how investors viewed stocks.

Not just stocks, it changed what people thought a successful business looked like.

 There was an e-commerce company. You might be making guesses as to where this is going.

A successful business was one that was making profits. Simple.

This was the least requirement - up until now.
And then came a slew of tech companies that had a dot-com at the end of their name.

One of these was an e-commerce company.

It had operations in California and was looking to expand its warehouses to all over the US. And therefore, it needed the money from the IPO.
Skeptics worried if the smaller size of the orders would make economic sense for the company to deliver.

Some were sure it would work and that the skepticism was a result of people not understanding how the internet worked.
The company’s IPO launched. And then the stock was listed on Nasdaq.

It climbed.

But the company kept facing troubles.
It was expanding very rapidly and that came with its own set of problems.

The delivery infrastructure wasn’t in place and was often flawed. It made desperate attempts by buying new delivery vehicles and renting warehouses to solve the delivery problem.
This new frontier was so unheard of, legacy investors like Warren Buffett had stayed away from this space.

Very few understood the internet. And those who did thought it was the future.

They invested accordingly.
In 2001, this company declared bankruptcy.

Surprised?

This isn’t Amazon we’re talking about. This is Webvan.

Off the bat, without names being mentioned, it sounds oddly like the Amazon stock.
The difference between the two was that Amazon survived. Not just survive, it eventually thrived.

If you had invested in XYZ IPO or stock 20 years ago, today you’d have… this is very easy to say.
Right now, there are multi-bagger stocks. Do you know which to buy?

If you don’t know now, how would you have known 20 years ago?

In the late 1990s, there were several other dot-com stocks and IPOs.

Many of them failed. Some succeeded. Amazon was one of them.
Thousands of investors lost their money because they invested in dot-com stocks because they didn’t understand it but thought it would do well.

Those who understood it though, those investors made returns unheard of in decades.
Today, in India, we’re entering a somewhat similar space.

There are companies that haven't made a profit so far. We in India aren't used to seeing such companies in the markets.

Some of these companies will become large like Amazon. Some will go the Webvan way.
Remember this when you consider applying for an IPO.

It could be a bad investment.

It could also be a great investment.

Don’t fall for the hype and what others say.
Do your research and if you don’t understand, stay away from it.

If you do understand, you might be on your way to bumper returns.

Read that the running cost of an EV Scooter for 100 KMs is just Rs 10-12 (2 units of power). While that for ICE Scooter/Bike it is Rs 200 (2 litres of Petrol).

Are there any component manufacturers supplying specifically for the EV functionality ?

Friends ⁉️

As this thread on the EV Scooters is showing a lot of interest

Here is an interesting 24 min discussion with the MD of Hero electric, about the cost economics, running costs and competitive nature etc of an EV Scooter

Which are the 3 Indian Technology cos that you would buy if they listed tomorrow?

I would pick Nykaa, RazorPay and Policybazaar.

I feel these 3 can grow irrespective of GDP performance for next 10 years.

How will the broking industry perform next few years? This is a question I get asked often, more recently.

I usually say, if you can tell me the Nifty direction or volatility, I can tell you what the broking industry will do. Because both are positively correlated. 😃

1/2

User growth depends on whether the markets (Nifty) go up or not. It took >10 years to reach the high made in 2008 in terms of new user addition (total NSDL + CDSL Demat).

Revenues are based on market volatility. The more the market moves, the higher the revenues generated. 2/2

In the first skandh, the importance of Vedvyas


and characters of Pandavas are described by the dialogues between Suutji and Shaunakji. Then there is the story of Parikshit.
Next there is a Brahm Narad dialogue describing the avtaar of Bhagwan. Then the characteristics of Puraan are mentioned.

It also discusses the evolution of universe.( https://t.co/2aK1AZSC79 )

Next is the portrayal of Vidur and his dialogue with Maitreyji. Then there is a mention of Creation of universe by Brahma and the preachings of Sankhya by Kapil Muni.


In the next section we find the portrayal of Sati, Dhruv, Pruthu, and the story of ancient King, Bahirshi.
In the next section we find the character of King Priyavrat and his sons, different types of loks in this universe, and description of Narak. ( https://t.co/gmDTkLktKS )

The YouTube algorithm that I helped build in 2011 still recommends the flat earth theory by the *hundreds of millions*. This investigation by @RawStory shows some of the real-life consequences of this badly designed AI.


This spring at SxSW, @SusanWojcicki promised "Wikipedia snippets" on debated videos. But they didn't put them on flat earth videos, and instead @YouTube is promoting merchandising such as "NASA lies - Never Trust a Snake". 2/


A few example of flat earth videos that were promoted by YouTube #today:

Simple and effective way 2 make Money


Idea 1:- Use pivot level like 14800 in case of nifty and sell 14800straddle monthly expiry (365+335) exit if nifty closes on daily basis below S1 or above R1

After closing below S1 if it closes above S1 next day or any day enter the same position again vice versa for R1

Idea2:- Use R1 and S1 corresponding strikes multiple
Incase of R1 15337 take 15300ce
N in case of S1 14221 use 14200pe
Sell both and hold till expiry or exit if nifty closes below S1 or above R1 around closing
If the same bounces above S1 and falls below R1 re-enfer same strikes

Use same criteria for nifty, usdinr and banknifty

(This is must)Use this margin rule for 1lot banknifty pair keep 4Lax margin
For nifty one lot keep 3Lax
For usdinr 100lots keep 4Lax

I bet you if you do this on consistent basis your ROI will be more than 70% on yearly basis.

Couldn't explain easier than this

Criticisms are most welcomed.

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilms—both externally and within the host.

https://t.co/FBfXhUrH5d


Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.


...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.


Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.
