(my baseless rant with no scientific proof)I think people who move a lot are lonelier as opposed to those who never left the place they grew up. I have a few childhood friends in my home town that even if i meet after years still share a bo

I don't think people actually use the note though. I don't see anyone having guts to give that note to policemen or government officials in India. Everyone in India just like the US is scared of the Police and know not to mess wit

I am so glad I left the US to get a PR in Canada. I have a multiple entry 10-year tourist visa to US now. The immigration system will never get reformed. Once the recession follows in a year or two and unemployment goes up no when is going

What happens when the ETF value goes down not because the value of the underlying stock goes down but because people are selling the ETF? Won't they need to rebalance then? The way it will happen is they will have to sell all the stock

If you are never going to sell your ETF/stocks then yeah it doesn't matter. I read online once that a mutual fund tried to see which of there customers made the most money. The customers that made the most were the ones who had fo

I was talking about Value investing. Do you see value in buying uber and tesla at the moment? The best value is the obvious one. Do not buy these stocks or go short at least till they are more attractively priced and there story changes. Th

I am referring to etf price during extreme volatility. The price can diverge a lot from its NAV. If the market is crashing then the bid ask spread is going to be very wide but i guess same will be true for common stocks. I think it is impor

This also means one more thing: Institutional investors and smart money is selling into this rising market. Retail investors are going to be left holding the bag. The headline should be: Institutional and professional investors are going in

All this does is make all stocks move up or down regardless of their individual performance to some extent. If there is a big swing in either direction. Some stocks will get way overvalued or undervalued compared to their intrinsic value. M

It's more accurate to say that the current format of asking algorithm questions is not the best way to judge programmers ability. All it tests is how much has the programmer memorized for the interview and not really how he codes in th

Dividend announcement doesn't make stocks go up. They actually go down by the amount of dividend.

I am not overgeneralizing. I am mentioning every use case! The stops are skipped because no one wants to get out of the bus and there is no one to board it. It has nothing to do with bus bunching. Here in downtown Vancouver, there are some

They all don't go to the same destination. They have an overlap of route but all of them go to different destinations. So you cannot just skip a bus stop. You are very rarely if ever going to see the same numbered buses bunched togeth

Unemployment is there because people are there. So should we not control population? There are so many people in India it scares me as to what will happen when there will be a recession? It's good that India has good family values. Pe

I left california went back to India after staying in US for 11 years and stayed for 6 months, did nothing. If you have some money, say 50k rupees a month. Life is easy. You need to get used to seeing a lot of people and bad infrastructure.
