Few terminologies you should know before you buy any share.

A Thread 🧵👇

When you're buying your first share, you placed an order than your Demat account. There are many terms should be aware of :
1/ Order - It is a show of intent to buy or sell shares in a given price range.

For example, you may place an order to buy up to 100 shares of Company A, at a maximum price of ₹80 per share.
2/ Bid - Your bid is the amount that you are willing to pay for a share.
3/ Bid-ask spread - This is the difference between the amount people are willing to spend to buy a share and the amount at which the shareholders are willing to sell a share. A trade can only happen when this spread is resolved.
4/ That is, if the lowest price at which a share for Company A is being sold is ₹40, and the highest price someone is willing to pay for such a share is ₹38 – no trade can happen. The trade can only happen when the bid and ask prices match.
5/ Market Order - An order to sell/buy shares at the market price is called a market order. It is advisable to avoid placing market order as the trade price can be very volatile.
6/ Limit Order - An order to sell shares above a set price or buy shares below a set price is called a limit order. You should always use limit orders to trade shares.
7/ Day Order - An order that is good only till the end of the trading day is called a "day order". If the order does not get executed by the time the market closes, it would be cancelled.
8/ Good-till-cancelled order - An order that will stay open until it is either executed or manually cancelled. Such orders may stand for weeks if no shares are available to trade in the price range specified.
9/ For example, if you place a GTC order to buy a share of Company A for ₹50 or less and the share is currently trading at ₹70.

If it takes the share to hit ₹50 price point a week later, the order will be executed then. If it were a day order, it would have been cancelled.
10/ Liquidity - Liquidity refers to how easily a stock can be sold off. A share that can be sold off quickly i.e., has high trade volumes is said to be highly liquid.
11/ Trading volume - The number of shares being traded on a given day is called trading volumes.
12/ Intra-day trading - Intraday trading is about buying and selling stocks on the same day so that all positions are closed before trading hours are over on that day.

Many of you have seen the famous Westrum Organizational Typology model, so prominently featured in State of DevOps Research, Accelerate, DevOps Handbook, etc.

This model was created Dr. Ron Westrum, a widely-cited sociologist who studied the impact of culture on safety


Thanks to Dr. @nicolefv, I was able to interview him for an upcoming episode of the Idealcast! 🤯

It was a very heady experience, and while preparing to interview him, I was startled to discover how much work he's done in healthcare, aviation, spaceflight, but also innovation.

I've read 4+ of his papers, so I thought I was familiar with his work. (Here's one paper:
https://t.co/7X00O67VgS)

I was startled to learn he has also studied in depth what enables innovation. He wrote a wonderful book "Sidewinder: Creative Missile Development at China Lake"


Dr. Westrum writes about China Lake Research Labs: "its design and structure had one purpose: to foster technical creativity. It did; China Lake operated far outside the normal envelope... Sidewinder & others were "impossible" accomplishments,

I love this book because it describes traits of organizations that routinely create and maintain greatness: US space program (Mercury, Gemini, Apollo), US Naval Reactors, Toyota, Team of Teams, Tesla, the tech giants (Amazon, Google, Netflix, Google)

He has been wrong (or lying) so often that it will be nearly impossible for me to track every grift, lie, deceit, manipulation he has pulled. I will use...

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".


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?
