Sincere apologies for the brain-fart moment. I meant to say 3rd largest in purchasing power parity terms but for some odd reason, ended up writing per capita. Thanks for pointing that out too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP)

Funny that in the face of direct conflicts of interests by SEBI chairman - the poster is deflecting the discussion to "how much transparency is enough".

So you think that its a good idea if the market regulator has conflicts of interest. Can you reasonably expect such a regulator to probe Adani group fairly in such a scenario? It is well settled that that is not the case, unless you want to argue that for some reason its ok to have the SEBI...

Funny that HDFCBK was in a small cap fund :D

I guess many people simply cannot wrap their heads around arguments critical of his own current views. It would be futile to debate such people. In fact, it's best to ignore such people, or in extreme cases, even block them.

Well interesting you say that. On the contrary, it is reasonable to say that use of biometrics at scale is absurdly ignorant of risks. Particularly because we can change passwords, but biometrics cannot be changed, hackers keep at it and will keep succeeding in finding vulnerabilities on and...

@rootyme Reading is useful but if I were you, I would avoid almost all academic books, and read ones written by long term investors who have actually invested successfully over a few decades. Even after you've acquired all necessary knowledge, it is important to be a practitioner to really have...

Well, I did get one about three months ago and I am pretty happy with it. :)

Blaming a short seller for doing their business isn't very fair, unless one has communist views. Companies exist for that exact reason and short selling may seem immoral but it has a utility in keeping markets away from irrational exuberance. On the other hand, I have sympathies with SEBI. It...

This is solid gold advice too. Most people will be best off investing in their own professional skillsets that makes them productive in the world. With some luck, money will follow, and you would not really need to invest except to protect your savings from inflation - which can also be done...

I've been 14 years into financial risk - and when I started off, I hoped to be an investing wizard by now. However, ironically, I see gold as probably one of the few relevant options for experts and non-experts alike, given its stellar risk-adjusted returns in Indian rupee terms through economic...

And I am reasonably sure that there is a high change any criticism of authorities' unwillingness to prioritize citizen's digital security over the state's right to surveil and the corporations' right to make money from retaining data /information, will quickly digress into a political name...

Hey thanks for the kind words, and I honestly, I took no offence. I talked about the possibility of being an Idiot myself genuinely just to make a point that being idiot doesn't necessarily make me wrong on everything. But I am just a little bit frustrated that this thread keeps digressing to...

Could I respectfully appeal to you and many others here, to reflect why so many of your posts are attacking people by labelling them. I actually do not necessarily disagree with the claim that many of us are Idiots. In trying to be brutally honest, I am willing to consider the possibility I am...

Please refer post #1. No. I am only interested in any known or potential tech security vulnerabilities. I mistakenly thought a tech forum might lead to fruitful open discussions. Thanks. Appreciate that. I am nearly fully with you on this. I get your point but it at best gives me some hope...

It seems that irrelevant conspiracy theories are the only argument that you and the likes of you have to anyone who raises the need to use time tested technology security principles regarding EVMs as well. In good faith, I presume you are not ill intentioned, so I would like to think that this...

You have a clear bias because instead of using reasons for why there is reason to believe that India has invented the world's only lowest risk EVM which should not be questioned, you resort to ad hominem attack, attacking Elon and Politicians. You also imply that questioning EVM erodes public...

I trust that you do not have a bias, so you should be able to see that Elon's core point is not about US, although the context was RFK's comment regarding US elections. However, it takes just one minute of independent thought to see that the relevant quote (given below), is applicable globally...

Its interesting to see this level of bias on a technology forum. It is obvious because Elon's comments were not relevant only to India, although these were made in the US context. The point made is simply that there is no such thing as a 100% hack proof technology. Unfortunately, many members...

Thanks for sharing it. I see some of the ideas are incontrovertible and give some useful nudge to me to be cautious in my job as a risk analyst. I agree with almost everything in the article, but I believe that the music of credit growth has at least 4-5 years to go before it can stop, given how...
