This thread will help you to understand the index funds really well. If you want more of such threads in future,do comment the topic you want me to cover and don't forget to RETWEET! Let's start :

 Who started it?
John Bogle, commonly referred to as Jack, is known as The Father of Index Investing and The Father of Index Funds. Bogle was born in Montclair, New Jersey on May 8, 1929.
What was the first index fund?
After graduation, Bogle went to work for Wellington Management from 1951 to 1974, but was fired because of a merger decision he made. In 1974, he found the Vanguard Group Inc., and in 1976 he introduced the first retail index fund the Vanguard 500
Why should we trust Bogle and not telegram rockets?
Although Bogle was initially mocked for his introduction of the index fund, he proved to be a true visionary and was even named as one of the โ€œWorldโ€™s 100 Most Powerful and Influential Peopleโ€ by Time Magazine in 2004
What is Vanguard's position right now?
Vanguard has grown to become one of the worldโ€™s largest investment management companies, with more than five trillion in global assets under management. Although Mr. Bogle died in January of 2019, his philosophy of index investing is ALIVE.
But what are index funds?
An index fund is a type ofย mutual fund with a portfolio constructed to match or track the components of a financialย market index,such as SENSEX , NIFTY 50 etc!Most index funds are greatly diversified that could only be matched by a few investors
Before we move ahead,Can you please explain me about index funds in Hindi too as my English is not that good?
No worries,had put up 2 videos on index funds in hindi which you can check out :
1-https://t.co/mtcy2dLPek
2-https://t.co/r7dEy5Cb9a
Let's move ahead to know more...
Why should we invest into index funds?
1-Index funds outperform the vast majority of actively managed funds. Two-thirds of actively managed mutual funds have failed to beat their relevant index in a typical year, and over 80 percent
2-Investing in index funds provides simplicity and transparency to an investment portfolio. Individual investors pay unprecedented attention to their investment portfolios and abandon during financial crisis.Index funds are secured so you can hold onto it.
3-Investing in index funds serves to counteract several harmful biases in behavior. You are your worst enemy when it comes to investing! Overconfidence, aversion to loss, and herding are just some that can prevent you from making the right investment decisions.
4-Index funds are extremely tax efficient, since they have very low turnover rates. The turnover rate is the percentage of a fundโ€™s holdings that are exchanged (sold and replaced) in a given year.
5-Since index funds are passive investments, they incur much lower expenses to manage. Actively managed funds charge higher fees that may be the result of research by analyst, transaction fees and numerous other fees or expenses which simply are non-existent with index funds.
But there must be some disadvantage right? Yes there is!
When you invest in an invest index fund, you will not outperform its benchmark index. Since index funds are designed to mimic their benchmark, thatโ€™s to be expected. So you basically are going to match benchmark only.
So you see in a small thread made you understand the index fund concept! Want more on interesting finance topics? Just go and RETWEET the first tweet of this thread which will give an indication that you want more. LIKE AND SHARE.

THE TRADING PROFITS๐Ÿ‘‡

These days you must have seen several traders posting profits,beyond imagination. There are 3 obvious thoughts that too in sequence -
๐Ÿ™‚Are they even Real?
๐Ÿ™‚Why am I not able to do so?
๐Ÿ™‚What the hell am I doing with my life?

Preparing for that gov exam or looking for that private job or even running a business,which is going to pay me just 1/10th of these profits in my entire lifetime?!! Damn,I guess trading is the ONLY thing I need to do.
๐Ÿ‘‰Result : Anxiety,Fomo and feeling of self pitty.

Now to the first question,if they are real or not,yes although social media is filled with fake screenshots,edited profit videos and false p&l,let me tell you that there are SOME GENUINE TRADERS also out there.And to rest all the rumours,YES SOME OF THOSE PROFITS ARE REAL TOO...

๐Ÿ‘‰But then the question is,why are you not able to do so? Instead,the moment you attempt to do so,you are either frustrated or one step closer to bankruptcy?
The reason is the ABILITY to take risk,which differs in both the cases. Let me explain:(Read next)๐Ÿ‘‡

So we had discussed a few pointers in the previous thread about options,its time now we discuss further implications and applicability in this thread which will help you in NEW YEAR.
Letโ€™s go and dive into the world of options trading.

-The amount of decay can be measured by theta. This is why you can be right on stock price direction and still lose money. The time decay portion of the option price overpowers the directional move in the underlying stock price.

-During result days due to the heightened uncertainty, there is opportunity for options sellers because of the expensive premium. When entering into an earnings trade, it is optimal to initiate the trade as close in time to the event as possible.

-Keep some cash on sidelines. This would help in adjustments,margin expansion,face losses and also during new opportunities which suddenly arise. A lot of people do the mistake of going all in and regretting later.

-Everything in trading has a trade off.

Unlimited profit comes at the expense of low probability of profit. Give up some profit potential, and you gain a higher probability of profit.
-By using portfolio beta weighted delta, you can accurately gauge your overall portfolio risk. If your portfolio is leaning too far in..

How to spend 80% less time in the gym and get BETTER results for building muscle than you're getting now (SERIOUSLY)

Backed up by science.

Thread ๐Ÿ‘‡


First mistake:

Doing too many exercises.

All you need is:

- A squat or similar movement
- A hip hinge
- Vertical push
- Vertical pull
- Horizontal push
- Horizontal pull

Add in some calf work and ab work.

You don't need multiple exercises for each muscle group.

Some people do 3 or 4 different exercises for each of the above, e.g. a flat bench press, a decline bench press, a pushup, an incline dumbbell press... this is a waste of time.

All of those are using the same muscles and fall into the "horizontal pull" category.

All you need to do is pick ONE for each category and lift to failure with good form.

Reaching failure (or close) creates the stimulus for adaptation.

Adding more work does not increase this stimulus, it just adds more muscle damage that you've got to recover from.

The other mistake is that people do too many sets.

You've all seen the bros in the gym on chest day...

HAMMERING the chest with 5 sets of flat bench press, 5 sets of incline, 3 sets of decline, 5 sets of flyes...

This is just cutting into recovery and making results worse.

It's the weekend!

Grab a cup of coffee, in this thread I will explain

1. Peter Lynch's Six Categories of Stocks
2. How to identify the type of stock you own?
3. How to think and decide about the runway for growth of a company?

Lets dive right in.


For those who do not know (I doubt there will be many), Peter Lynch is one of the most successful fund managers of all time.

He managed a fund called Magellan at US Investment Giant Fidelity Investments and during his 13 yr tenure, he delivered an average CAGR of 29.2%.


Sadly the fund couldn't keep up post Lynch's retirement and his successors weren't able to keep up with his returns.

That's how good Lynch was!


In 1989, a year before retirement, Lynch wrote and published a book called 'One Up on Wall Street'.

Almost 32 years later, the teachings of the book remain relevant.

(Highly recommended read)


Chapter 7 of the Book Titled
"I've Got It, I've Got It - What is It?"

talks about the need to classify stocks.

Peter's argument is that you need to know what kind of stock you hold in your portfolio.

Not all stocks are the same - and he is right!

SRISAILAM: KASHI OF THE SOUTH (AP)
#andhratemples

The divine abode of Mallikarjuna Swamy (Jyotirlinga) and Devi Brahmaramba (Shaktipeeth).

When Ganesha was married before Kartikeya, he left in anger to Kraunch mountain. Shiva and Parvati also followed him there.


Shiva assumed the form of Jyotirlinga and resided on the mountain by the name of Mallikarjuna. Mallika means Parvati while Arjuna is another name of Shiva
It is also said that once, a princess Chandravathi, saw a cow shedding milk on a rock resembling a shivlingam.
@DubeyYash1911


She started praying to the lingam daily and used to offer jasmine (mallika pushpam) daily. Pleased Shiva appeared before her and agreed to wear jasmine garland (mallika pushpmala) on his head permanently. Since then, Shiva became known as Mallikarjun Swamy.


At this place, Shakti took the form of Bhramaram (bee) to kill Arunasur and settled as Bhramaramba Devi. The place is a Shakti Peeth as the neck portion of Devi Sati fell here.

It is said that by merely seeing the hill, one is emancipated from all his sins and worries.

one of the things i like about Batman is that it's fundamentally about being orphaned, and being an orphan โ€” how this guy stays tethered to the world in his own weird, abstract, extrajudicial way when he feels that his link to it has been violently severed

Batman does this by permanently recapitulating his own trauma: solving crimes for other people, protecting them. But that's actually just the beginning; he also recapitulates his own experience of orphanness by essentially raising several orphans

Dick is an orphan in the traditional sense: dead parents. Batman sees it happen. Jason, less so: missing dad, known mom who eventually dies. Tim, even less so: parents are around a while, and involved, before both dying. Carrie, even less than that: negligent parents.

Steph: evil father, who openly works against her. And then there's Damian, whose parents are both alive and yet both have identities that totally obliterate their role as his parents. He doesn't relate to them as a mother and father; he can't, and neither can they.

In all these different cases, Batman tries all these different ways of making orphanness for them not what it was for him: Either by trying to teach them the (arguably poor) coping skills early that he learned over a very long time, or by literally legally adopting them, etc.

1/ Hereโ€™s a list of conversational frameworks Iโ€™ve picked up that have been helpful.

Please add your own.

2/ The Magic Question: "What would need to be true for you


3/ On evaluating where someoneโ€™s head is at regarding a topic they are being wishy-washy about or delaying.

โ€œGun to the headโ€”what would you decide now?โ€

โ€œFast forward 6 months after your sabbatical--how would you decide: what criteria is most important to you?โ€

4/ Other Qโ€™s re: decisions:

โ€œPutting aside a list of pros/cons, whatโ€™s the *one* reason youโ€™re doing this?โ€ โ€œWhy is that the most important reason?โ€

โ€œWhatโ€™s end-game here?โ€

โ€œWhat does success look like in a world where you pick that path?โ€

5/ When listening, after empathizing, and wanting to help them make their own decisions without imposing your world view:

โ€œWhat would the best version of yourself doโ€?

BRAHMA VAIVARTA PURAN: IMPORTANCE AND CHARACTERISTICS.

This Puran introduces us to way of Vedas. On the request of Narad Muni Bhagwan Saavarni had preached this Puran. It is a summary of Dharma, Arth, Moksha etc.


Listening to this Puran one gets automatically attached to Vishnu and Shiva and realize that there is no difference between them. Vyasji divided this book into four parts. It has eighteen thousand shlokas. This whole book is in the form of dialogue between Suutji and Maharishi's.

The first part Brahmkhand, consists of Shrishti description. Here Shri is known as Para Brahma and description of Gokul is also mentioned, It also narrates the argument between Brahma and Narad in which both were defeated, and then Narad went to Shiva to attain more gyan.

Shivji advised him to go to Bhagwan Saavarni for this. Narad goes to Saavarni ashram to seek Knowledge and is totally amazed by the sorroundings.

Next is Prakriti khand which consists of dialogue between Narad and Saavarni where they discuss the

Importance of Shri Krishna through various stories. Then there is the discussion of Prakriti and its various hues. Listening to this gets you wealth.
Next is Ganesh Khand which describes the Punyak vrat done by Parvati ji. After this it narrates the birth of Kartikeya and Ganesh.
