Ignore Dr @Swamy39 at your own risk 🙏👍🙌👇👇good article by @PritishNandy ! As Amit Mitra had aptly put, of all the people who had taught him in Harvard, Swamy was by far the best 👌👌. So why not take a chance and listen to the Mylapore Brahmin for a change ??? @jagdishshetty

My article on @vuepress has been published on @smashingmag today! 🥳 Having followed them since the beginning of my career, it's kind of surreal to be one of their authors. 🤯 Incredibly grateful to @drewm and @rachelandrew for their support throughout the process. 🙏

All I’ve learnt is buying and holding good companies and diversified equity funds and not let emotions come in the way of staying the course. I don’t know many other things. That’s why despite being asked, I don’t give any media interviews.
I'm not an expert on banking. But I would be comfortable owning only three banks: HDFC Bank, Kotak and City Union. I was holding CUB right from the time it was a micro cap. When I decided to own only one bank, I let go of CUB and stayed with HDFCB. Never held Kotak so far.
My stock investment strategy: 1) Buy quality companies 2) Expect to hold for 10+ years 3) Try not to overpay 4) Keep track 5) Sell rarely Try not to overpay means I've been buying ITC a lot lately. Nestle was purchased post Maggi fiasco and so on.

Assume AAA bond yields of 10%. You buy a business at 10 times pretax earnings. Its earnings don’t grow however. And it pays out most of earnings as dividends. Then you are paying a full price for a non growing perpetuity. Because earnings and book value won’t grow.
Government investment is where business innovation goes to die.
5/5. The Royal Caribbean cruise liner has a new augmented reality experience in its entertainment room that people can play using their smartphones. Why isn't this application more popular? I list a couple of use-cases that could spur your thinking
Life and business are about prudent risk, not zero risk. Otherwise, you wouldn't be reading this because you'd be huddled around a smokey fire in a cave concerned about trying to find food using a large rock.

India’s problem is not that the wealthy pay too little in taxes. It’s that there are too few wealthy Indians. [My take] v @WSJopinion
Not sure how I didn't know this, but here's a fantastic candidate for your .vimrc: set clipboard=unnamedplus This unifies your system and Vim clipboards. So you can '⌘-c' something in your OS and then 'p' it right into place in Vim, and vice-versa with 'y' and '⌘-v'.
Results = (Hard Work*Time)^Strategy Working hard is important, but working on the right thing is more important. A great strategy can deliver exponential results. Of course, the best strategy is worth nothing if you never get to work. Zero to the millionth power is still zero.
#JavaScript tip for today: "npkill" is a nifty little tool that shows all `node_modules` in your system - and allows to remove the selected ones. You can quickly free up some serious gigs by taking care of the old/demo projects!
"I meet a lot of people searching for something (career, relationship, etc). Yet, when it’s put in front of them, they won’t pursue it because they fear pain (getting hurt, failure, etc.). So they unconsciously (& expensively) trade self protection for misery." - @ShaneAParrish
Networking sucks in direct proportion to the amount of people who approach it with a "what's in it for me" -first mentality. Networking is awesome in direct proportion to the amount of people who approach it with a "how can I help you" -first mentality.

Startups should want employees (especially product, design, engineering) to use beautifully designed software. Our tools inspire us & influence the products we make. Yet we often accept legacy software in workplaces. If you use a poorly designed SaaS tool, find something new.

I loved this interview with @ramit. He is one of the few mainstream personal finance personalities whose message isn't BS. He also has a unique ability to get people FEELING excited about discussing money. Highly recommend:
Wow, that kind of blew up. I have to test more than 100+ apps. 🤯 I did the first 12 already. If you want to follow along I published a folder on @useloom For everyone still waiting: I do my best. 😬
Personal beliefs: 1. The world is extremely inefficient. There is low-hanging fruit everywhere. 2. People don’t learn from history. Study the greats. Find simple lessons. Copy the best stuff. 3. When in doubt, don’t blame individual people. Blame the incentives of the system.
We cannot deny the pain in the economy. But some companies not only survive but even able to thrive under such situation. Paints, adhesives, liquor, cigarettes, food products, select consumer durables...
The Russians & Germans have low enemity now. So does the Americans & Cubans. But the leadership of Pak and India cannot afford peace, because under peace, the issues of Employment & hunger will rise. The people will revolt Religion & an enemy state is enough to silence the mob
@jjude I find parents shield kids from "money matters" early on. Thats not helpful. Involve them early on.

Learn to learn efficiently. How? 1. Study in blocks of 25 minutes. 2. Take a break for 5 minutes in between block. 3. Paraphrase what you just learned 4. Teach! (or talk about it) 5. Retain more info by rereading your notes 1, 3, 7 and 30 days after you wrote them.
@millstoic @AJA_Cortes Trying to make money (ethically and refusing shortcuts) is a great way to learn to listen, to learn what is valuable to others, and to learn to make it. “I don’t want to make money” is often a narcissistic thought where we don’t want to listen to others about our current value.
