Children’s Exposure to Violence.
By: Regina Ms
Tags: Children Health, Trauma, Abuse Survivors, Violence, Parents

Children’s who are exposure to violence has many traumas that goes trough adult age. It’s a complex subject because there are many terrible cases that is involve since the parent’s childhood to the Department of Children and Family Services. I remember two documentaries about CSA (Children sexual abuse). The trials of Gabriel Fernandes (2020) and Rewind (2019).

The documentary, “The trials of Gabriel Fernandes” is a terrible story where their Gabriel’s parents abused, he the most terrible way that we imagine. Unfortunately, Gabriel died after several abuse. We can see in this documentary about his mother. She is a children survivor from many abuses by different people. She has severe PTSD and others psychosomatics problems. It’s not an excuse to commit this crime, but we can to see the terrible consequences when the children are victims of abuse and violence. The DCFS (Department of Children and Family Service) of Los Angeles, was complety negligent include social workers.

Another is the Rewind. Sasha and his sister were abused for years for members of his family. The documentary shows us how the behavior of the children changes when he is with problems. They don’t know how ask for help. They try to show that they are in dangerous. In most of the cases, the children became extremely aggressive and quieted. One of the most terrible things in this documentary is that Sasha’s father was abuse when he was young for the same people that abused of Sasha, but this was o very deep secret because his family was a traditional Jewish orthodox family.

“At each developmental stage, parents’ abilities to attend to their child and to guide and support their child’s negotiation of new developmental tasks is essential. When parents physically, emotionally, or sexually abuse their children, the parents’ salience as a source of protection and support certainly is diminished” (Margolis, pg. 451). Children who is neglect, abuse and victim of violence needs of psychologic treatment. This situation is extremely traumatic and can influence generations of the family and the people who are around.

TDoR 2020: Say their names. Read their stories. Remember them
By: Anna-Jayne Metcalfe
Tags: LGBTQ, Hate Crimes, Gender Identity, Transgender, Violence

Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR) feels different this year of necessity. After all, how could it not, when a pandemic is ravaging the globe and so many — including all of us here in the UK- will be locked down on 20th November?

So this year there are no outdoor candelight vigils. No faffing around with PA systems and running cables from nearby cafes. No freezing cold feet and hands in the cold wind and night air of a British November. No gathering together at all.

We’re locked down, so instead, we’ll be sitting on our sofa or at the kitchen table watching presentations on YouTube or taking part in Zoom calls trying to console each other.

Some things never change though — with November always comes the awareness of a whole new collection of names and faces who have been lost to us during the past year.

The grief is never-ending; and with it, the tears, resolve and anger not only about what happened to them but also about the attitudes, conditions, discrimination and violence that caused their deaths.

In a year when far too many trans people worldwide have been forced out onto the street to work alongside a silent killer virus, the unofficial TDoR motto of TDoR of “Remember Our Dead. Fight Like Hell for the Living” feels more apt than ever.
An open letter to Nigeria.
By: Anita Ekpo
Tags: Negligence, Bad Governance, Endsars, Violence

Today I celebrate myself, not Nigeria. The twisted ideas that surround how it runs has put me in situations where I have to bend over backwards(literally). You were once great, you were once an epitome of excellence but now you drag my synthetic wig through pothole filled roads while I drown in the dirty water your bad roads system has created. What would you lose if we had proper drainage? No response, I thought so.

60 years of the most minimal victories yet you pat yourselves on the back and say things like “we have done well” “we tried our best” but the question is WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? At this point all I would like to see is a report card. Remind me. Your victories are so vague I’m blinded by poverty and uncertainty, greed and envy. You have opened a part of my psyche I never thought I had. I have to survive everyday by harnessing the anger of your incompetence in return allowing me to channel rage in my everyday life and you sit there thinking you understand my pain.

Do you know pain? Ask the people on the streets, ask the market women whose stalls are constantly destroyed, ask the women and children of makoko, walk down the streets of mushin and see what pain is. You have no idea, none at all. You romanticize poverty because you have never been there. Damn the next commercial or movie that flies a drone over makoko. Damn y’all!

We are taking off the masks of ignorance and seeing a better future without the current government parties involved. The violence and resentment against my fellow Nigerians is disgusting and don’t get me started on gay rights to live and be free. I’m not sorry for using my voice or the guilt felt from reading this. Nigerians deserve better and we’ll keep fighting no matter how long it takes.
Hi Murray,
Tags: Racism, Society, Childhood, Violence, Race

Hi Murray,

About the cycle, while it may seem unrelated, breaking it can be accomplished by including each human being on the planet equally in a globally standard process of money creation.

Structural, equal, economic enfranchisement, makes us each a part of one tribe.

The foundational inequity, hidden devaluation of human labor, has been used to convince disenfranchised people who think they’re White that their problems are caused by black and brown people. Also, primarily, to devalue the labor of black and brown people.

It’s a moral and ethical imperative

Thanks for your work, and your kind indulgence
Why Twitter is a Dick

Why Twitter is a Dick

A twitter employee grilled me like a kebab. We had met at a wine tasting across the street.

The one thing I gleaned from our conversation is that twitter was trying to keep Trump on the platform.

Jack Dorsey has been pledging literal billions to “charity”.

Now I went through the Anti-Violence Project two separate times. When I received a call back, my voicemail put down “Violence Project,” which is so apt. I could imagine both of the paid staff members I trusted wearing MAGA hats or accepting bribes from multiple governments.

They are the scariest, most hypocritical, at once “the most elusive” and also “the most destructive” buckling through my constitutional rights like a wooden bridge and obliterating without hesitation, oversight or accountability, ever.

At all times they offered legal support but never kept their word. Instead they covered up big corruption, big crimes, and queer erasure as a matter of fact. The questions they asked were insulting, and they pumped me like obvious double agents and architects of hate crimes. And after the violence they wrought, they never followed up. Big surprise. Wow.

Nothing could be more violent than The Anti-Violence Project. Liars. Hypocrites. Cheats. With no accountability or oversight into their obvious corruption. Ew.

70 Million Americans are Going Through Growing Pains

“Just as physical growth causes physical discomfort, psychological growth can cause psychological discomfort. The stress and strain caused by thinking about things in new and foreign ways can create a cognitive dissonance where your long-held perspectives are challenged by alternative views and ideas.

‘Jungleland’ Shows That Loyalty Comes From Love
By: Akos Peterbencze
Tags: Sports, Family, Culture, Violence, Movies

I used to know guys who would kill for each other. They weren’t violent by nature but stood up for one another when needed to. The brief story I’m about to tell you happened a long time ago.

After an altercation in a club, someone smashed a beer bottle on a friend of mine’s head. He was bleeding heavily, but the amount of alcohol in his blood and his physique kept him on his toes. He was fit because he used to box back then. The adrenaline was pumping through his veins. The guy who attacked him tried to flee but didn’t get far when my buddy and his best friend caught him on the street. They beat him up and put the guy in the hospital for a few days. That’s what you get when you mess with the wrong people.

Violence is a universal language among men who lack the intelligence and vocabulary to express their feelings in other ways.

Violence often comes from feelings, and those feelings sometimes entail loyalty and love. I would call it the unspoken laws of a brotherhood in which we defend each other. It’s an urge, an impulse to help someone you care about. Unfortunately, violence is a universal language among men who lack the intelligence and vocabulary to express their feelings in other ways. It’s not a solution but unavoidable at times. Bare fists can never replace the power of words and emotional support.

I’m not a tough guy. I’d be knocked out in a street fight in two seconds. Three if I’m lucky. I channel my support in other ways to protect my own. Standing up for someone, or yourself, using words is tougher than throwing a stroke. The bruises you might suffer are invisible, but they heal much slower. Souls are delicate things, and they need to endure blows regularly. You can train and prepare for a fight in a ring, but you can’t be ready for the hooks that life throws at you from the moment you are born.
Is the Pierce Bainbridge Lawyer Representing Kyle Rittenhouse Attempting to Incite Violence?
By: Don Lewis
Tags: Law, Politics, Corruption, Lawyers, Violence

John Pierce’s partners at Pierce Bainbridge Beck Price & Hecht LLP left earlier this year for Hecht Partners LLP, Goldstein & McClintock LLLP, Bradford Edwards & Varlack LLP and more. Pierce formed Pierce Bainbridge P.C. thereafter and Kyle Rittenhouse became a client. Controversy continues to surround the Harvard Law School educated attorney; a suggestion that Pierce may have attempted to incite violence is the latest in a series of issues.

The suggestion arose from a tweets captured below that Pierce penned last night. One is in harmony with the recent “election fraud” tune of Pierce’s former client Rudy Giuliani; it dubiously claims that “Trump won in a landslide.”

Issues with Pierce existed prior to the mass partner exodus. In 2018, Pierce was referred to by one ex-partner as a “narcissistic sociopath,” and another as a “fu*king lunatic.” In 2019, his ex-wife expressed concern in a publicly filed declaration about Pierce’s mental well-being; she also obtained a second domestic violence restraining order against him. Pierce Bainbridge LLP was accused of “stonewalling” a subpoena for financial documents related to those proceedings. (The relevant filings are available at Superior Court of the State of California County of Los Angeles, Central District. CASE No. BD 639 740.)

Violence appears to be a theme, Pierce’s client Kyle Rittenhouse engaged in extremely violent conduct; and in 2016, Pierce lost his job at the K&L Gates law firm for physically assaulting a co-worker; he was also subject to a separate domestic violence restraining order. (The relevant materials are in the previously mentioned filings.)

Eye-popping tweets published last night by the Rittenhouse attorney are below, including one admonishing Pierce: “stop trying to incite violence.”

The tweets remind of one from Pierce a few months ago. It received immediate backlash and was deleted. It was even covered in a write-up on Snopes.com, which includes a preserved copy.

Was Rudy Giuliani’s “good friend” John M. Pierce attempting to incite violence?

The Guardian

I woke up to the sound of weeps and shrieks. My home was on fire. My bed was on fire. My sister’s “Winnie, The Pooh” bag was on fire—my pretty Barbie dolls, my big, blue balloon sofa, the pink walls—all consumed by the blistering flames. I was afraid to get out of the room. I heard my mom wail out my name in refuge. Heart slippery between shivering legs, I looked for my sisters. I looked for my brother. I couldn’t find anyone. My name was blurted out again—in muffled sobs. Doorknob black like charcoal, I pressed it with tiny, bare hands only to open the gateway to hell. I lowered my gaze as to protect my eyes from the violence of fiery blazes. I heard the voice of my dad. I became hopeful—the Guardian of our realm. I followed his voice.

I approached the entrance of our home in alarm. I found my family. I found my sisters and brother. They had been long informed of the accident. They stood still—on fire.

They all wept—on fire. My big sister was infuriated—on fire. My second sister was shocked—on fire. My little brother was quiet—on fire. I stood next to them. I was disappointed. We all watched the scene before us. We all wept.

The flames caught me too. I was disappointed—on fire.

My mom and dad stood before the entrance door. They were in the circle of fire. Everything was on fire—except for that exact spot where they stood—where he stood—the Guardian.

My mom was on her bare hands and knees. She cried. My dad stood on top of her, hands clenched around her neck. He pressed and pressed.

We all wept—on fire.

My mom sobbed, “The kids, Ya Brahim.” He pressed and pressed. He grit his teeth in aggression, “I told you. I told you to stop—stop.” He grinded.

“Stop,” he pushed.

“Stop,” he struck.

“Stop,” he slapped.

He opened the entrance door and got out of the circle of fire—out of our home.

The fire ceased inside our home. The walls were white again. The curtains were flowing with color. Pictures on wooden round tables were—new—vibrant with glee.

The four of us stood still before the weeping of my mom. The five of us kept on burning—though the fire ceased inside our home.

We are still burning.

Almost all our language has/ been taxed by war — Ginsberg

You’re getting naked before your bath

of inner conflict

sighting aim trope scandal

broken politics broom handles wasted

trickling codes languishing bellies

all home by themselves

the strict whip shit court heaving

blast of mechanic breath

roads weary as the drivers

giving up ghosts and scars marked

by sticks in the ditches

unrivaled equations policy menace selfish

hands

putting pulled cash into the same pocket

the fight’s not over the fight’s not

over yet, someone’s screaming

baseless coward collector of hats

of stamps that no one sees

of ridiculous hair wigs — refusing to beard

a toupee of distraction a gaslighting fiend

toothless aging beggared hauled

Wanna stick into my vagina?

Wanna pry open my mouth with a tweezer for my secrets?

Wanna slit open an orifice on my cheek for a second mouth?

You don’t dare, do you?

There’re eyes.

There’s law.

So you come up with a plan

a legit plan without being asked questions

You approach me

play with alphabets like LEGO games

stack up compliments, assemble cajoleries,

fabricate promises until your masterpiece

fits the hole in my heart and clicks me open

Bricks collapse into plastic words

flooding into my head, releasing poisons

that numb my perceptions of myself

You feed my mouth with your words

You sculpt me into the shape you desire

You make me yours and claim its us

I’m raped.

NanoTech Stocks
Tags: Nanotechnology, AI, Stocks, Stock Market

Within the broad and rapidly expanding Technology sector, Nanotechnology offers perhaps the most profound potential impact on society. On purely scientific level, Nanotech involves any innovation conducted at nanoscale, which is between one to 100 nanometers. As this technology is perfect, IT opens up the doors to previously impossible mechanisms, making Nanotech stocks a must-watch category. But what is behind this innovation? Physicist Richard Feynman, during a lecture in December 1959, introduced the concept that future technologies would enable scientists to manipulate and control individual atoms and molecules. Over a decade later, professor Norio Taniguchi coin term Nanotechnology. However, IT takes substantial advancements in microscopic platforms before scientists can begin practical experimentations. Once they do, positive implications from Nanotech integration become readily apparent. According to NANO. Gov, 25. 4 million nanometers can fit inside an inch. A single sheet From typical newspaper is approximately 100 000 nanometers thick. This technology and its astonishing scale will clearly set the pathway towards the next generation of super-computers. But this innovation reaches much further than that. With the ability to manipulate individual atoms, healthcare and pharmaceutical industry can finally move beyond researching diseases, and towards their complete elimination. Without question, Nanotech stocks have the capacity to deliver enormous gains. Here are four examples to keep a close eye on.

Direct to Market!
By: Arush Sharma
Tags: Stocks, Investment Banking, IPO, Stock Market

US’s SEC approved a new way for companies to go public & raise capital through direct listings, a new alternative to the traditional initial public offering also called “Primary Direct Floor Listing”.

Benefits of PDFL are two-fold : One, companies can create new stock and offer it to the public graduating from private to public market & leverage fresh cash flow. Secondly, this being a direct listing, companies can paying big fees to investment banks to guide their IPO’s, companies simply release their stock into the wild, letting the markets decide the price.

For the recent IPO’s such as DoorDash and Airbnb, investment banks thought stocks were worth $102 & $68, but they were off by 86% and 113%. Companies sold stock for way less than they could have resulting in unnecessary dilution of their stocks.

But the question lies whether this framework can work in Indian markets too?

Although, recent IPO were under criticism that stock is getting mispriced by investment banks. But markets being still relatively inefficient compared to western counterparts due to various reasons such as poor capital base, inefficient regulations or overly conservative rules, large effect of external factors (like US FED policy etc), this doesn’t remain an option at least in the distant future.

Also, can this be a beginning of an end of traditional IPOs lead by IPO banks?

How I Make My Own “Dividends” By Selling Covered Calls
By: Andrew Yang
Tags: Options Trading, Finance, Stocks, Options, Stock Market

Let’s break it down by what happens depending on the stock price

Assume we sold the contract that expires Jan 8 with a $230 strike price for $136 in the example above.

Case 1: The stock price is below $230 by the end of the expiration date

If the shares aren’t worth over $230 (lets say its $227 by the expiration date), nobody would want to buy them for $230. The contract is now worthless, and you keep the money they paid you for it ($136). The stock price may have gone down (maybe it drops to $210) and you lost some value there, but if you were planning on keeping the shares anyway, at least you got the extra $136.

Case 2: The stock price is above $230 (lets say its $235) by the end of the expiration date

In this case, your shares will be sold for $230 each. While you are selling your shares at a discount of $5 each, it’s important to note that you have only lost out on potential profits! You still turned a profit of $9 each compared to the day you sold the contract when the stock was valued at $221, and you kept the $136 as well. All you did was put a cap on your profits, but you still profited regardless.

Case 3: Before the expiration date, you decide you want to get out of this contract

You don’t have to wait for the contract to expire to get out of it. You can also “buy back” your contract before the expiration date. If the price of $MSFT has exceeded/has a high chance of exceeding the contract’s strike price, you will probably need to pay more than you sold the contract for originally to get out of it. However, if the price of $MSFT has gone down, stayed the same, or only gone up a small amount (and has a low chance of getting to the strike price), you will likely be able to buy back your contract for less than what you were paid for it and be able to pocket the difference.
3 niches in which to invest in 2021
By: Martin Kiriloff
Tags: Trading, Mkiriloff, Stock, Market, Invest

Hey guys! How has been up lately?

The past couple of weeks I have spend my time analysing the market and researching what are the upcoming investment trends for 2021!

I was really wondering in what to invest in the upcoming year. In my opinion this year the electric car insutry was really the go-getter. Tesla, Nio, Xpeng all of them had really went way up in the stock market. Lately Nio market share was even bigger than Daimler(Mercedes). On the other hand something which I am sure no one expected to happen — airlines, pharmaceutical companies went way down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Oil also had it’s fair share. In the beginning of the pandemic it’s price went low as $6 for barrel and currently is around $50. However I’ve decided to share what would be ‘trend’ in the stock market for 2021. Here we go:

1. Electric cars

Lately this niche is huge. Entrepreneurs are competing with multiple companies to create the best electric car out there. Trying to go/be eco is the trend lately. And in my opinion is something all of us should think about. More and more companies are coming out — Nio, Xpeng, Li-Auto, Fisker, Ayro — all of them are new founded companies. As the people are trying to be more mother Earth friendly it is logical those companies will hit the sky in the next years. Just for comparasion — 2 months ago Nio stocks were at $6 and currently they are at $47. Nearly 700% for just 2 months.

2.Beginning of the End of Covid-19 (pharmaceutical companies)

The approval and gradual distribution of Covid-19 vaccines will be a major obsession in early and mid 2021. Will the vaccines work as advertised? Will they be rapidly distributed around the world? Companies like Moderna and Pfizer had already developed vaccines and are starting to distribute them. Not only that in my opinion when this COVID-19 pandemic ends all others pharmaceutical companies will return and even outgrow their previous stock prices. This is due to 2020 more money and energy was spent in finding a cure for COVID-19. If this end companies will return to normal

3. Travel Stocks

The world is preparing to get back to normal in 2021!

Pent-up demand for travel could drive a gold rush for long-punished airline stocks, hotels and even cruise lines. And all that increased economic activity will do wonders for hard-hit tourist cities around the country and around the world.

This means all airlines, cruise lines, hotel or rent a room/house companies like AirBnb stocks will also reach heights. Of course this is relevant only if the pandemic ends. If not maybe we should wait a bit more.

The markets have been up and down a lot the past few weeks. The news about the stimulus and the new COVID strand in the UK has kept investors on their toes. Long-term investing and dollar-cost-averaging is the way to go, and that’s what these 5 stocks are going to pertain to.

Let’s make some money with these top 5 stock picks!

My Top 5 Picks from December

Palantir Technologies — $27 to $28 Tesla — $583 to $646 Riot Blockchain — $8 to $13 Moderna — $148 to $124 NIO — $51 to $47

December’s picks went 3/5 because Moderna flopped, and NIO had a slight pullback. I still have my eyes on NIO.

Investor is a person who invests his funds in stocks with a view of capital appreciation over the years. An Investor's wealth grows as the value of his stocks increases over a period.

Trader is a person who buys or sells stocks to earn short term profits. Trader can earn even when the stocks are going up and even when stocks are going down.

There is a very thin line in being an Investor or a Trader for a beginner. And most of the times that line gets crossed. I myself have been caught in this situation. I have also seen a lot of my peers starting their journey as an Investor and without them knowing becoming a Trader.

It is rightly said that investors end up taking bad trades and end up being an investor in those bad trades.

Trader has a very short term perspective as compared to an Investor and knows the importance of stop losses. The importance of preserving capital by putting stop loss, it's really a temperament thing.

Pseudo Traders (Investors) on the other hand shy away from booking losses and end up holding bad trades with the hope that with time they would reap profits.

You don't really need a lot of prior education to become an Investor if you stick to the basic rules. You just need to patience in most cases.

However a trader requires immense education, skill, intellect to actually make money off trades.

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, the Indian market bull has rightly said out of 10000 traders, 9950 do fail.

Why Market Crashed Again?
By: Kishlay Ranjan
Tags: Stocks, Stock Market Tips, Portfolio, Finance Management, Stock Market

Stock Market Of India

We know that market crashes happen from time to time when any bad news come or any big fraud happens like Yes Bank, PNB, OR Harshad Mehta Scam. But only a few of us only analyze the news and go deep to understand what actually happened and what is the reason behind it. Today I will explain some of the latest incidences of why the market crashed.

Market Crash March 2020

The main reason for this time is investors are pulling out money from the market very fastly and the inflow is almost negligible. Because of the Lockdown announcement, all the industries are going to be shut down and the businesses are getting closed due to a lack of money and resources because there is no demand in the market. I will share with you the data of Foreign investor in march 2020

See in march they have taken out 65,816 Crores INR from the market and this is the reason the market crashed so badly and from may they have started putting money then our market started recovering. But keep in mind that this not only the factor of a market crash or a market bull run.

In November the total inflow in the market is more than 65000 crores from The Foreign Investor so our market has made the record high and went up even after such a high PE ratio. The stock market is not an easy thing to understand you have to be attentive and quick because the reaction time of the market is very fast that you will not get time to react.

MARKET CORRECTION DECEMBER 2020

This is not a market crash that is going on this is just a correction because our market is all-time high and waiting for bad news to show the correction. The reason is here the same. The COVID 19 new strain is found in London UK and it is spreading so fast and creating pressure in European markets. All the markets in the world are connected. The main reason is here also the Fear of Lockdown in the country.

On 21 December 2020 Foreign Investor has shown a net sale of 323 Crores in the market and this is one reason why our market crashed.
My First Python Trading Bot

Stonks are c00l!

I have always been deeply fascinated by the mystique of hedge funds. Who works there? Why are they so secretive? Why do the wealthiest in the world trust them with large portions of their assets? And lastly, why are they so darn good?

Website for 3rd largest hedge fund in the world.

In today’s world, almost all hedge funds are algorithm based. Very rarely do you have hedge funds that make investment decisions based off traditional security analysis. Machine learning algorithms, Ph.D.’s, even quantum computers are at the crux of most hedge funds today, attempting to beat the market daily and achieve maximum return for their investors and ultimately themselves. One day I hope to tell you the story from the inside, but for now we will start by building our own Python trading algorithm.

The investment strategy that the algorithm will be based on is called the Three White Soldiers pattern. We will define a closing price as a candlestick. If we have three candlesticks in a row that consecutively increase in price, then we have our Three White Soldiers pattern in front of us. See the image below for a visualization of the pattern:

Three candlesticks in an upward trend signify there may be a change in market sentiment.

We will be using an Alpaca brokerage account with paper money(not real money). First we set up our API so we can get real time data from the stock market:

API_KEY is a unique key given to you when you sign up for Alpaca, and Tickers is Peloton:PTON.

After we set up our connection successfully we want to actually see how the algorithm will function:

In the beginning of the algorithm we created an empty list of all minute candlesticks. In the first section of code we are making sure that we are actually getting our ticks. If the current tick’s price is higher than the current candlestick price we assign the current tick as the new high and vice versa.

Then in the next big section of code we are checking if there are three higher closes minute by minute and assigning names to them for easier understanding.

Lastly, we are going to compare and see if each candlestick is actually a higher price than the previous one, and if so then we execute our trade. We then will take our profit at 2x the distance between the last candle close and the first candle open. Lets see this in action:
Indonesian College Kids Stock Trading Experience
By: Paulus Reinhard Jonathan
Tags: Trading, College, Stocks, Investing, Finance

I started investing in stock when I was pursuing my bachelor in business administration. Driven by the thrill of capital market, the first thing that I did is to join a seminar held by a state-owned brokerage firm. That session was confusing to me but at least I learned that the firm has a branch on campus. So the next day, I visited that branch to open an account. To my surprise, they only offer services for new account with IDR 10 million rupiah deposit. As a broke college student, that was a huge amount.

I noticed that my classmate, Risky Mayang Sari, parent trade on a smaller brokerage firm that much more inclusive, so I reach out to one of their salesperson to set up a meeting and open an account. We met at Starbucks. He did interviewed me a bit regarding my background and my financial goals. Then I filled my personal information on a paper form.

Back in those days, that firms only provided Desktop apps for doing trades. The UI/UX is, i must say, intimidating. The whole theme is dark background with touch of red and green. My younger self found it impressive, it’s just like what I’ve seen on movies, with daunting charts, indicators and hypnotizing running live trades. So I spend hours and hours to monitor the market on my laptop.

Then I did my very first transaction. I bought TOTL (Total Bangun Persada Tbk.), a private-owned construction company. The reasoning is my salesperson said so. I didn’t look at the price movement, financials, not even know any other facts other than they are in construction business. It was a small win, I forget the actual gain but I believe I sold the stocks on 5% profit after several days.

After several trades whispered from my salesperson, I started losing grip. He was no longer reply my texts and calls. My guess is that he saw me as an unimportant client with small amount of money. Maybe
Why suits are cyclical and business travel is coming back

Why suits are cyclical and business travel is coming back Gavin Baker ·Dec 22, 2020

Business travel is coming back for the same reason that suits always come back.

Suits are cyclical. Almost all offices go casual late in the cycle. Then the economy rolls over and a few months into the recession, someone shows up at the office wearing a suit because they are worried about their job. The next day everyone is wearing a suit.

Business travel will be the same. Every business will try to avoid travel and stay on Zoom. But then one company, struggling with sales, will send their sales representatives on the road and conversions will increase. The next quarter all of their competitors will be on the road. The same will go for conferences, for diligence, for deals, for executive retreats, for everything.

Business travel will come back.

5 Tips to Get Started Investing
By: Mckenzie Richard
Tags: Investing Tips, Money, Stocks, Investing, Stock Market

Investing your money can be daunting task. When I started thinking about investing, I was very overwhelmed quite honestly unsure where to begin. Here are 5 tips to help you get started and grow your wealth.

1. The earlier the better. Don’t wait to invest your money the sooner you buy stocks the sooner you will benefit from compounding interest and beat inflation.

2. No amount is too little. Choose a reasonable percentage of your paycheck to set aside each month to invest. Whether it is $10 or $10,000 it will make a difference. It is all about being consistent and patient. Set up a reoccurring transfer or mark your calendar so you don’t forget.

3. Start with Exchange-traded funds (ETFs). ETFs are low risk and known to have the best return on investment over time. Some good ETFs to begin with are Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO), Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Growth ETF (SCHG), and SPDR® S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY).

4. Educate yourself on market trends and news. I like to listen to daily podcasts that let me know what is going on in the United States and events that may cause potential changes in the market. Being aware will make you a better investor. My favorite podcast at the moment is Robinhood Snacks.

5. Diversify your portfolio. Investing in various markets and ETFs diversifies your portfolio. More diversity reduces the volatility of your assets. Think about companies that interest you and research them. If you are interested in the company or the brand it makes investing a lot more enjoyable.
Our Index Investing Strategy
Tags: Stock Market, Stocks, Stock Market Tips, Investing, Finance

Some of our subscribers had asked us about investing regularly and how to avoid tax burdens from active trading which can add up-to 40% for short-trades. This post discusses a strategy you could use to plan a safe consistent investment plan.

The strategy discussed here is often referred to as “buying the index”. What this means is you are essentially investing your money in funds which re-invest in top 500 or top 100 companies in the stock market. These companies are often referred to as S&P 500 or S&P 100, and generally are considered recession-proof & pay good dividends. Over time companies move in & out of the top 500 or top 100 list. For example, Tesla recently came into the top 500 list a month or so back.

These index funds generally have low expense ratios & have consistently performed well with around 10%+ return & dividends every year. The ones we like include $VGT, $VOOG, $VOO & $SCHD (look at the last 20yrs of performance of these). People buy these stocks because they are happy with an average return of 10%+ and they never have to sell these as these stocks keep growing (kind of like compound interest). We recommend this strategy to folks who want to setup a monthly investment plan where you can buy these 4 stocks weekly/monthly/quarterly:

The important thing to remember, when choosing this strategy, is to try to go long for at-least 3yrs+ horizon. If you are in need of money for a shorter period, index investing may not be right for you.

How a Lone Trader Wiped off Almost $1 Trillion Under 30 Minutes From the US Stock Market
By: Kamna Kirti
Tags: Money, Stocks, Stock Market, Finance

How he made $40m from his bedroom?

Sarao was charged for artificially manipulating the market and making a fortune. He understood the concept of high-frequency trading where computer bots are programmed to modify the trade order milliseconds before it could be executed.

He developed a similar software that placed thousands of orders before quickly canceling or changing them and created an artificial demand for other traders to buy or sell that asset.

This practice is known as “spoofing” which allowed him to genuinely buy or sell orders at a profit in the volatile market later.

What he was convicted of?

“Order flow toxicity” was at historically high levels one hour prior to the flash crash

Source-Wikipedia

Just prior to the flash crash, Sarao placed orders for thousands of E-mini S&P 500 stock index futures contracts in the Chicago Merchantile exchange which he planned on canceling later. These orders cost him $200 million and were replaced or modified 19,000 times before they were finally canceled.

Sarao was naive and unaware of the charges until 2015 when the FBI arrived at his door. He was charged with electronic fraud and spoofing which is illegal in the US. After he spent 5 months in UK prison, he lost a legal battle against his extradition case in 2016. He initially faced 22 charges from the US government which could land him to a maximum of 380 years in jail.

In the US federal court, Sarao agreed to pay $12.8m, the amount he earned from his illegal trading in the span of five years. But prosecutors decided not to give him a jail sentence as he did not spend his money on any luxuries. Moreover, he helped the government with money frauds like these.
More reasons why short sellers are wrong on $NNOX
By: Andrew Kamal
Tags: Radiology, Short Selling, Stocks, Technology, Stock Market

Encase you didn’t notice today, MuddyWaters doubled down on their negative Nanox sentiment, before Carson Block’s interview w/ Andrew Left was released. They have reinstated their claim that they believe $NNOX has worked on elaborate special effects to dupe pretty much everybody as some blatant “stock promotion”.

Infact, quite blatantly, he has called Nanox’s stock dogs**t, and Andrew Left in the interview called the stock a “Piece of s**t”. Their biggest source of knowledge apparently seems centered around the irrelevancy of the low R&D spend or interviewed radiologist (from what I understand). We have no insight to who these radiologist are, where they work or their background, but from what I understand they are labeled a, b, c, d, and e. This is so far the only sense of identity.

If you remember from my past rebuttal on Citron Research, they have also shorted stocks like Shopify before, alluding it to a ponzi or get rich scheme that is basically worthless. This is what caused the Shopify CEO in 2017 to call Andrew Left a troll. (His words not mine).

What I understand about the history of these short sellers is they have went out of their way in the past, to paint companies like Shopify and Tesla as going to crash. This was in the past. If you go to the tipranks profiles of these firms, or try looking at web archives, there have been times where they were very wrong.

MuddyWaters and Citron obviously collaborated to some extent with this Nanox short. It seems that Carson Block almost views Andrew Left as some sort of mentor or role model to look up to in the industry of short selling.

My opinion is that this is one of the times where the short sellers would be very wrong. If you go to the leadership board on Nanox’s website, many important people including Ruth Atherton are still on the board. I feel like a majority of the leadership team or at least to some extent a decent percentage would have left if the claims of Nanox being a fraud were founded on fact.

Also, Ran Poliakine isn’t new to the field of entrepreneurship. People tend to forget the fact that this isn’t his first company. He at least has some history and credibility in regards to pursuing large goals.

I do engage in research related to the sensory tech and medical device industry. However, I hold no relations to Nanox Imaging or working with Nanox Imaging. My only current conflict of interest is being long on its stock.

Why is Investing important ? We Explain !

Let us have a look at another example-

The above image explains-

At Age of 30 years- to reach your goal of Rs 10 lacs , you have to invest Rs 7234 every year for next 35 years.

At Age of 40years- to reach your goal of Rs 10 lacs , you have to invest Rs 15,811 every year for next 25years.

The later you start the difficult it becomes to achieve the kind of wealth that you would like to generate. This is because of the importance of Compounding Returns.

What are Compounding Returns?

The compound return is the rate of return, usually expressed as a percentage, that represents the cumulative effect that a series of gains or losses has on an original amount of capital over a period of time. Compound returns are usually expressed in annual terms, meaning that the percentage number that is reported represents the annualized rate at which capital has compounded over time.

Basically, Fixed Deposit or PPF are examples of Simple Interest and equity related instruments like Stocks & Mutual Funds etc. are examples of Compound Interest . Let me show you how.

Power Of Investing early with Compounding

You invest Rs 1 lakh today in Fixed Deposit and Interest Rate is 6% , so what you get is Rs 6000 as income every year .

But if you buy a Company’s Share( One share is for RS 10,000)for Rs 1 lakh- what you get is 10 shares
