@devinamehra This is another version of India wants computer chips, not potato chips.
You will get both.
Hedge funds invest Long equities in India and then hedge using F&O.
F&O creates liquidity in the cash markets thru arbitrage.
Not everything is speculation.
@contliving He used to actively pick stocks earlier, few years ago. And also talk about them.
He actively spoke about Opto Circuits as his discovered stock. It went down to ZERO.
After that he started giving general gyan, by re-cycling other people's thoughts.
There is a trader who ran an account from $10,775 to $42,000,000 in 23 months. During that run he set the record for the single biggest return in a year. 29,000% ($18,000,000).
He had something like a 40% win rate, risking 3-5% per trade. He made that money trading a strict mechanical setup over something like 1,000 trades during the dot com bubble.
His name is Dan Zanger. He sold his car to fund his trading account. He recognized that with the positive expectancy the only rational thing to do was ruthlessly exploit his edge every chance he got and compound his capital as fast as the math would allow.
These things are possible, the only thing stopping any of you is the skillset, experience, and discipline.
And when you finally get an edge, and the skills to trade it, exploit it as much as humanely possible.
You've been blocking spam calls wrong this entire time.
Every time you decline, you confirm your number is active.
The calls multiply.
Here's what actually works:
Generational Wealth is usually made by doing things most people cannot or will not do.
If something is easy, fast, exciting, and low risk, chances are thousands of others are already doing it. Competition rises, margins fall, and outcomes become average.
The biggest outcomes usually come from working in uncomfortable zones:
1. Doing genuinely hard things, like building deep technology or solving problems no one has cracked before.
2. Doing things that take a very long time, like building distribution, trust, or brand over the years.
3. Doing things that look boring from the outside, like traditional businesses or operationally heavy models.
4. Doing things that involve high risk, where failure is very possible and very visible.
5. Doing things that need large upfront capital or long periods of uncertainty before results show up.
Most people avoid these paths because they are slow, uncertain, or unglamorous.
That is exactly why they work.
It is easy to make some money doing what everyone else can do. It is very challenging to create generational wealth through ordinary means. Extraordinary outcomes often result from choosing the challenging path and persevering on it for a sufficient length of time.
My son was 16 when he was hit by a drunk driver. He was in a coma for 3 months. The neurologist sat us down in a sterile conference room and laid out the scans. 'His brain stem is intact,' he said gently. 'But the rest... it’s dark. If he wakes up, he will be a vegetable. He will never speak, never know you, never feed himself. You need to consider long-term care facilities.'
We refused. We brought him home.
We set up a hospital bed in the living room. We played his favorite Led Zeppelin records. We read him comic books. We talked to him for 12 hours a day.
Six months later, I was shaving his face, telling him a bad dad joke.
He didn't just smile. He laughed. A croaky, dry laugh.
Then he looked at me and said, 'That wasn't funny, Dad.'
Today, he is finishing his engineering degree. He walks with a cane, but he walks.
The doctor calls him an 'anomaly.' I call him a fighter. Never let a statistic determine your destiny.
