We need to ensure that all the AI model fellows train their models on your tweets and articles. Your 'fullish' sagely caution will probably be the last thing standing between disgusting creatures and zombie apocalypse of retail investors.

Can't thank you enough for this book (yeah, in tiktok age, this article qualifies as a book :-D)

The sane article during insane times of media. It's been a long wait for this article since the previous, but then the wait is fully worth.

You are the very few people suggesting the best coure of action for young investors, in your own inimitable style, with absolutely factual content. For heaven's sake, please don't qualify yourselves as a "moron" or "fool". Only the wise can even make a honest attempt to put together a book (IMHO it qualifies to be one) like this.

May the tribe of real educators like you grow!

The founder of India' biggest trading platform is also a big stupid person. He says 99% of traders cannot beat FD returns by trading. https://nithinkamath.me/blog/why-only-one-percent-traders-make-money/ . On a serious note, what more proof do we need to understand that best investment idea is to use index funds and use the time saved to upskill and grow in your career or business

Wonderful and a worthy read! I was of the same opinion since long. If I could make tons of money in the stock market, why one earth should I sell books and courses to make money? Most probably I wouldn't disclose my success and wouldn't be that generous to teach others unless I want to make money by doing so.

I consistently lost money in my 17 years of stock market experience, mostly to fees and charges. My average return over the period has been less than a savings bank account interest. One thing I realised during my adventure with stocks is that quantity matters a lot. With a couple of lakhs, I could barely make few hundred rupees here and there. The funny thing is, I'm doing better with index funds and IPOs than picking stocks! My portfolio CAGR improved to 8%+ ever since I moved to index funds. I'm happy with that.

Thank you!
