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.

๐Ÿ“š Many influential business figures, including @JeffBezos, @ElonMusk, and @BillGates. say they learned some of their most important lessons from books.

Here are some that the tech giants recommended adding to your reading list this year. ๐Ÿ‘‡

https://t.co/rhjcI1z3JC


Some of Bezos' favorite books were instrumental to the creation of products and services like the Kindle and Amazon Web Services.

One of those is Walmart founder Sam Waltonโ€™s autobiography in which he recalls his career.

https://t.co/rhjcI1z3JC


This Kazuo Ishiguro novel tells of an English butler in wartime England who begins to question his lifelong loyalty to his employer while on a vacation.

Bezos has said of the book, "Before reading it, I didn't think a perfect novel was possible."

https://t.co/rhjcI1z3JC


Bezosโ€™ "favorite business book" draws on six years of research from the Stanford University Graduate School of Business that looks into what separates exceptional companies from their competitors.

https://t.co/rhjcI1z3JC


Elon Musk's must-reads include a number of sci-fi novels.

He read "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" as a teenager, even saying the spacecraft in it is his favorite spacecraft from science fiction.

#RS is an indicator which helps in finding strong stock or index in the market.

Shared some strategy.

Like๐Ÿ‘ & Retweet๐Ÿ”„for wider reach and for more such learning thread in the future.

1/22

Most of us would confuse it with Relative Strength Index (RSI) but Relative Strength is a different indicator.

We have already covered about "Uses of RSI" in below thread๐Ÿ‘‡
https://t.co/oTOrW7joNI

One can go through this if you haven't.

Now coming to Relative Strength (RS).

It is basically a strategy used in momentum investing which shows strength or weakness between two asset classes (two stocks, index, commodity).

One can read about this in below

As of now, I am using this indicator on .@tradingview platform.

It's free and one can add it in their Tradingview account as well, using this link๐Ÿ‘‡
https://t.co/FxCjJFsNOG

There are multiple variants in this as well. Some traders use multiple time frame RS.

4/22

RS basically compares returns of one stock/index with the returns of benchmark stock/index at a particular time horizon.

Let's say, I want to analyze TCS and Benchmark Index is Nifty.

Lifelong learning is a competitive advantage.

But contrary to what youโ€™ve been told, lifelong learners are built, not born.

THREAD: 20 lifelong learning habits you can start developing today.

Stimulate Dynamically

The mind is a muscle - it needs to be stimulated dynamically to continue to grow.

Donโ€™t rely on one โ€œexerciseโ€ - develop a menu of options.

Write, read, listen, watch. Solve puzzles, play games. Enjoy it!

Stimulate dynamically, learn dynamically.

Build Learning Circles

The most powerful learning is communal, not individual.

Build learning circles with other intellectually curious minds.

Engage regularly with no set intention or goal.

Community is everything. Embrace it.

Keep Asking Why

โ€œWhy?โ€ is the most useful tool in our learning toolkit.

But somewhere along the line, we are told to stop asking why and just accept โ€œfactsโ€ as we are told them.

Reject the norm.

If you want to understand the world, take a cue from our kids - keep asking why!


Adopt a Process Orientation

Prioritize process.

Learn for the sake of learning, not always for a specific goal.

When you prioritize process, you become flexible in where you are headed.

Life is a winding, confusing journey - forward progress is all that matters.

We know that elite institutions like the one Flier was in (partial) charge of rely on irrelevant status markers like private school education, whiteness, legacy, and ability to charm an old white guy at an interview.

Harvard's discriminatory policies are becoming increasingly well known, across the political spectrum (see, e.g., the recent lawsuit on discrimination against East Asian applications.)

It's refreshing to hear a senior administrator admits to personally opposing policies that attempt to remedy these basic flaws. These are flaws that harm his institution's ability to do cutting-edge research and to serve the public.

Harvard is being eclipsed by institutions that have different ideas about how to run a 21st Century institution. Stanford, for one; the UC system; the "public Ivys".
