Grootste oplichting in de geschiedenis.

A few names are carrying the entire stock market.
The US stock market has never been this fragmented:
The 52-week correlation between the equal-weighted S&P 500 and the S&P 500 index is down to 0.67, its lowest level on record.
This measures how closely the performance of the equal-weighted S&P 500 tracks the cap-weighted index, with a lower reading indicating a growing gap between the broader market and mega-cap stocks.
The correlation has declined -0.25 points since August 2025.
By comparison, before the 2020 pandemic, this figure remained between 0.95 and 0.99 for nearly 15 years.
To put this into perspective, during the 2000 Dot-Com Bubble, this metric never declined below 0.85.
The S&P 500 is more concentrated than ever.
US financial systems have been in 3 quadrant. 1st to start [Low Debt, Low Interest ], 2nd around 2008 [Low Debt, High Interest ] and post that 2021-24 in 3rd quadrant [High Debt , Low Interest] now for the 1st in fourth quadrant [High Debt, High Interest ].
Living overseas was a disadvantage but it grew more this year with this event, hopefully it will happen more often and I would get a ticket to witness it myself sometime in coming years. 😍
Maturity and knowing everything doesn’t guarantee balanced portfolio, even the best fail sometimes.
It’s a mistake but only looking backwards from future.
Real reason why #FIIs are taxed in India.
Investors - Why does India tax the foreign investors? FIIs are leaving.
Govt - Hume sab pata hai. Investing from outside India doesn’t make them foreign investors. They’re all Indians. 😀

China is putting scientists on giant screens in public places.
In India, our hoardings are dominated by politicians and film stars.
What we celebrate shapes what our children aspire to become. Why not put our scientists, teachers, doctors, innovators and nation-builders up there?

Today, I was immensely proud to lay the foundation stone for the Rs. 4,000 crore integrated greenfield Steel Plant by Amit Metaliks in Raghunathpur, Purulia district.
Our primary mission is clear: driving rapid industrial growth to ensure our youth no longer have to leave our State in search of livelihoods.
This 148-acre plant will generate around 10,000 direct and indirect jobs and is slated to be fully operational within just one year.
Since the @BJP4Bengal Government came to power, West Bengal’s economic landscape is transforming rapidly.
Also, in order to boost regional connectivity, a civil airport for Purulia under the UDAN scheme has been announced.
The sons and daughters of West Bengal, your future belongs here at home. Let’s build a self-reliant, prosperous and vibrant West Bengal together.
@SuvenduWB In my opinion it’s time to re-release bengal files. I was born in hooghly and lived over 24 years in bengal but this was a shocking awakening for me.
