Simple investment advice that will always work - set up a SIP in an index fund and find other distractions in life to keep you busy. Forget about the markets.

Seeing all this drama, mudslinging, and misguided views on the finfluencer thing is saddening because the small retail trader/investor is ultimately paying the price again. The influencer drama in finance is not new and has always been around in some form in the stock market.

People usually plan their finances assuming they live up to 75 or 80 yrs๐Ÿ‘ด. But what if you live longer? Old age is when a person feels most insecure in life. Let finance not be a source of such insecurity. Do check this video on 'longevity risk'

Bombay Oxygen stock price has doubled, ppl are buying assuming the company supplies O2. However, the company is no longer in the business of industrial gas. It's an NBFC considering its source of revenue is from investments. Please watch where you invest your hard-earned money!

Part 2 of 'How to do your own market analysis'. In this video, we discuss how to independently develop a positional view for the next trading day. Use this as a starting point and hopefully you'd stop depending on others to help you navigate the market.

1/ Call it a professional hazard, for me pretty much all life lessons seem to come from the markets๐Ÿ“‘. A few weeks ago, a friend asked, what my wife and I aspire to provide our kids financially ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€๐Ÿ‘ง. A seemingly simple question, but spend some time on this, and you can get lost.

Each time you stress over something, it affects your health including your heart โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉนโ€” thatโ€™s not a good thing. Last week was bad, 2 of my close friends suffered cardiac arrest in part due to the immense work-related stress they were under (luckily one of them survived) (3/13)

A lot of people still think investing in mutual funds is "free." It isn't; there's a cost. Investing costs add up substantially in the long term, and understanding how they work is important. In the 9th video in the MF series, I discuss the costs and how to save these costs

Exactly on this day, 14 yrs ago, I placed my very first trade in the markets, completely unaware of the fact that it would impact my life in every possible way! Such a beautiful ride it has been so far :)

And then there are other serious sources of stressโ€”work, relationships, health, wealth etc. Whether you like it or not we live in environments that have a lot of stress triggers for a variety of reasons (2/13)

Even after 10 yrs ๐Ÿ“†, it is pretty painful to think about this missed opportunity of mine in the stock market, but then I'm glad it at least came in handy to discuss this topic on anchoring bias ๐Ÿ˜…

Crypto traders, lucky you since you don't have to worry about DP charges of 'Rs.13.5 + GST'. Your true edge to profitability!

I was talking to a friend about stock markets. The conversation panned across history, philosophy, human behavioral patterns, numbers, and a bit of finance, all tied up and relevant. Guess that's what makes the markets interesting year after year ๐Ÿ˜„

Starting a new playlist on @ZerodhaVarsity Youtube channel to answer some of the frequently asked queries on Varsity. Here is the 1st video about buying a CE vs. selling a PE when you are bullish (talk about lousy timing๐Ÿ™„ ) PS: Watch at 1.5x ๐Ÿ˜ฌ
