It only takes one person to change a family tree. One person to think differently about money. One person to buy or build a business. One person to create a plan — and stick to it. It doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when you decide to be the one. Be that person.


Account for the capital gain tax deduction with each switch. Also, go the "Regular" route. You'll find that the easiest way to get less than a liquid fund equivalent return from equities. That's the MFD-driven alpha you've been getting all through your life!

when you buy (timing) and what you buy (allocation) matters. it is not for everyone though as it is not easy. indexing is easy.

"Had you bought Gold at its peak in 1980, you will only just have outperformed inflation today, 45 years later. By contrast, if you bought the S&P 500 on that day, it would have provided you with a stunning 4250% real return. However, had you bought gold in 2000, you would have…

The importance of being in the right place with the right product at the right time—luck, as @Nithin0dha says!

Someone on Reddit asked what does Zerodha do differently, how are we profitable, why don't IPO etc. This is what I replied: Hmmm... so you forget that we have spent 15 years getting here. And maybe another 10 years, before Zerodha, I was involved in the markets in some form. So,…



AMCs rebut "mine is bigger" with "mine is better" to create FOMO for gullible investors. Don't fall for it. Stick to market-cap index funds. All the AI models will end up offsetting each other, with the index capturing the net effect without any effort.

One of the most interesting things happening in the active mutual fund space is AI. quant Mutual Fund used to say their data model strategy is unique & first time in India. Named it VLRT. Then Capitalmind launched its own data model driven stock selection. Now JioBlockRock is…

There is always a bull market somewhere. You will always feel underallocated to whatever is running hot. There is no solution to this feeling. Just learn to live with it.


Option buyers hardly make money. Even if the underlying moves in a 15% intraday range.

#Nifty To my fellow option buyers : NIFTY Rani is moving in a range of 0.08% and VIX bouncing 1% here and there. How are you planning to make money in this scenario? 🙃



Are you so cheap? I thought you belonged to the 1000 Cr., club. All my hopes stand shattered now.

₹10Cr is enough for financial freedom with decent lifestyle in India. Agree?



Making mistakes with borrowed money leads to catastrophic outcomes. Be cautious to avoid regret, especially with borrowed funds.

First 1 Cr is the toughest. From 1 Cr to 10 Cr is easy. So don’t waste time earning it, just arrange it. Borrow from parents, friends, use savings, sell assets, take loans. Flip that 1 Cr into 10 Cr. Return their 1 Cr. Now you’re sitting on 9 Cr. 🤷



It appears @BJP4India is uninterested in retaining or regaining power. Dysfunctional ITR filing website, the MoRTH minister speaking harsher than U.S. trade negotiators for "sugar cane farmers," and more.
