There are few businesses that you can start in India, locally, and make upto 2-5 lakhs per month. Some would require upfront investment. Some won't. But most would be scalable to a decent extent. 100 "Yes!" in comments, and I'll write a thread on this next week.

Percentages are reversible. So, 6% of 50 is equal to 50% of 6 which is much easier to calculate.

This is going to be a thread about **Moat** and **Competitive Advantage**. 1. Capitalists seek the highest returns possible. For any possible investment, you need to maximize the return on investment while minimizing the risk involved. The sweet spot is what you strive to get.

I'd written about this and shared that thread earlier yesterday. Buying a home with a loan early in your career is not a good move. You should compound your capital and eventually buy a home at leisure. But on loan, your bank owns your home for 30 years. Then your kids do.

4/ If you type "stocks" and press enter, it will enter the stocks research mode. Within that, you can search any stock by using the "search" command followed by the company name, and it will list the different companies matching that name.

Take all of FinTwit with a heavy tablespoon of salt and just put in all the work you can do, before you approach anyone else for mentoring. If you don't put in the work and expect someone else to handhold you through, you're not meant for this field. PERIOD.

12) @nishkumar1977 - The only technical analyst I follow. Somehow he gets the exact levels, exact timing, exact points of breakouts, reversals, market pauses, etc., and I don't even know how. This guy is a technical analyst I'd suggest as a **MUST-FOLLOW** account.

If you're good at something, don't do it for free. If you can teach it to others who are equally privileged enough, charge them for it. Whatever you think is reasonable, charge that. Whatever your time is worth and the content is worth - charge that.

Have always known that Dabur, Lion, Patanjali, etc., weren't genuine. I have had the fortune of trying actual forest honey and mountain honey from karnataka and kerala. If you want authentic honey, you can try Girijan Honey (from Girijan Co Op, AP)

Honeygate! Only Saffola, MarkfedSohna, Nature's Nectar among 13 brands pass sugar syrup test,...

Honey samples from leading brands such as Dabur, Patanjali, Baidyanath, Zandu, Hitkari and Apis Himalaya, all failed the NMR test

So, my suggestion to you. Don't fall in love with a stock. Don't fall in love with a company or a ticker. Consider these numbers. Educate yourself in behavioral finance. And play the behaviors of maximum pessimism and maximum optimism. You do this, you'll make a fine investor.
