A Trader who doesn't want to give up despite failing umpteen times and now relying on data to trade in stocks and eliminate human bias. views are personal
I’ve made a custom strategy and back tested this over 3 year period starting from 2013-16, 2016-19, 2019-2022. The returns are whopping 203%, 70% and 235% CAGR respectively including all events of euphoria and drawdowns!!
Companies let you lease a car instead of buying one, and save tax in the process.
But 2026's tax rule changes have quietly shifted the math.
So, should you lease via your employer, or just buy the car outright?
We ran actual numbers, and here’s what we found… A🧵
Jeff Bezos literally gave a 40-minute interview that explains how to build and run a company better than any leadership course ever written. Here's what he shared:
1. You don't make thousands of decisions. You make a handful that actually matter.
"As a senior executive, you get paid to make a small number of high-quality decisions. Your job is not to make thousands of decisions every day." Most people measure themselves by how busy they are. Bezos measures himself by how good his few big decisions are. Everything else gets delegated.
2. Three good decisions a day is plenty.
"Warren Buffett says he's good if he makes three good decisions a year. I make like three good decisions a day." He deliberately keeps the number small so that each one gets his full attention. The goal is not volume. The goal is quality on the things that genuinely move the company.
3. Protect your sharpest hours for your hardest thinking.
Bezos refuses to schedule anything important before 10am or after 5pm. "I like to putter in the morning. I like to read the newspaper, have coffee, have breakfast with my kids before they go to school." He does his high-IQ meetings before lunch because by late afternoon his brain is done. "If it's a really mentally challenging decision, that's a 10am meeting. Because by 5pm I'm like, I can't think about that today, let's try again tomorrow at 10am."
4. Sleep is a business decision, not a luxury.
He aims for eight hours a night, and he frames it purely in terms of output. "I think better, I have more energy, my mood is better." He points out that as a senior leader making a small number of huge decisions, being tired for even one of them is far more costly than the extra hours of work you'd get by sleeping less.
5. The decision that built Amazon came from imagining himself at 80.
When Bezos had a great job at a Wall Street firm and wanted to leave to sell books online, he was terrified. So he built what he calls the regret minimization framework. "I wanted to project myself forward to age 80 and say, okay, I'm looking back on my life, I want to have minimized the number of regrets I have."
6. Almost every regret is something you didn't do.
"I knew that when I was 80, I was not going to regret having tried this. I was not going to regret trying to participate in this thing called the internet that I thought was going to be a really big deal. I knew that if I failed, I wouldn't regret that. But the one thing I might regret is not ever having tried. And that would haunt me every day." Most regrets are acts of omission, the paths you never took.
7. When you invest early, you bet on the person, not the idea.
When Bezos told his wife and parents he was quitting to start Amazon, they backed him instantly, before they even understood it. "With your loved ones, you bet on them. You're not betting on the idea, you are betting on the person." The idea will change a hundred times. The founder is the constant.
8. The stock is not the company, and the company is not the stock.
When the dot-com bubble burst, Amazon's share price collapsed from $113 to $6. Bezos didn't panic because he was watching the business, not the price. "I was watching all of our internal business metrics. Number of customers, profit per unit, defects, everything you can imagine." As long as the real numbers moved in the right direction, the share price was just noise.
9. Never feel smarter because the stock went up.
"When the stock is up 30% in a month, don't feel 30% smarter. Because when the stock is down 30% in a month, it's not going to feel so good to feel 30% dumber." He simply refused to let the daily price affect how he felt or what he decided. The market's mood is not a scorecard for your business.
10. Obsess over customers, not competitors.
"It is a huge advantage to any company if you can stay focused on your customer instead of your competitor." Bezos says this is the single biggest reason Amazon succeeded. Competitor-focused companies wait to see what rivals do. Customer-focused companies keep inventing because customers are always divinely discontent and always want more.
11. Pioneering buys you roughly two years before the copycats arrive.
Bezos is clear-eyed about invention. If you create something genuinely new, you get about a two-year head start before competitors clone it. That window is everything. It's why he pushes Amazon to keep inventing rather than defending. The moment you stop pioneering, the clock runs out.
He warned his early investors there was a 70% chance Amazon would fail completely. He was right that it was a gamble, and he did it anyway, because the regret of never trying would have been worse than the failure.
Here's the thing though....
Bezos became the most studied businessman alive because his thinking was written down and shared. The shareholder letters, the interviews, the frameworks. The company made him rich. The ideas made him a teacher to millions of founders who will never meet him.

Sure, things can be better, but it's crazy how transparent and safe the Indian markets are compared to the US, all thanks to SEBI and the exchanges. It's not just Fidelity; even other big brokers seem to have 'flipping' restrictions in place.

We visited Sikkim in the first week of May 2026, covering Gangtok, Nathu la and Lachung (North Sikkim). Our group had six people, including my parents in their 70s.
