Do you believe traders can make money and beat the index in the long run? We have several option sellers on twitter generating great returns. Zerodha had also done posts with star traders in 2015 and they're again seeking applications for podcasts. They will verify/audit the ledger and then host them. Are these guys all lying? Or are they lucky and actually beating the market due to a fluke?
about 10 years ago traditional banks were promoting ‘equity CDs’ which were a hybrid of a lower than market rate CD plus an added return purportedly reflecting stock market performance. read the very complicated fine print on the product and based on the squirrelly method they used to calculate the ‘equity’ return, you could easily have zero added return even if the market went up. basically you’d be better of with an allocation to a traditional CD plus an low cost broad market index fund.
figured that the only reasonable chance it would work was if you opened the CD during a quarter when the market was down 15-20%. the banker kept pushing it so I told him I’d open one up when the market tanked. when it did, went back and surprise, surprise management pulled the product when the market was down. so yes, you’re always better off with low cost, broadly diversified index funds...
Index funds are one of the best ways to invest money in stock market. But I would like to bring to notice that a large chuck of money has moved from active to index funds. If this continues and more than 50-60% of funds invested in the stock market are invested through index funds then this will be blind money. From that time I believe that active funds will beat index funds. Till then passive funds will be the best vehicle to invest in the market. Please give your views on it
first saw Bogle on Louis Rukeyser’s Wall Street Week in college... learned much from guests on that show... missed plenty of hot dates but... ‘stayed the course’💕🐱🙏🐱💕
What categories can be considered for debt funds?

Read it again today.
This is my Bible now.
Figuring out ways to shift my hybrid funds to index and debt funds now.
It will be useful if you write how to go about shifting from Active To Passive funds.
Thanks श्री metafool .
The wait for this article was worth. Fantastic as always, bettering the previous one! Thank you.
Human beings have a shorter attention span than a golden fish. 8 second- that the survey found out.
But your post failed the survey. 😂
Keep fooling around. 🙏

Awesome article and explained very well that the art of investing is actually simple science.
