How do you enjoy reading your dad's newspapers? | Karishma Roye posted on the topic | LinkedIn (2025)

𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭?Recently I got the WhatsApp forward (𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘰 𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘦 1) on the S & P 500 prediction done for 2023 by several big firms so-called experts.None of them were even close to 50% of the actual results.The statement “𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬" is often used humorously to highlight the challenges of accurately forecasting economic downturns.✴ The 𝐀𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭 2000 𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐞 ran a famous story picking 10 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐋𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐚 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞. (𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘰 𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘦 2)Ten years later, a portfolio comprising the 10 stocks lost 70 per cent of its value, with only one stock posting a gain, while two firms on the list went bankrupt, one of them being Enron.✴ You can see a famous 𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐫𝐮𝐧 𝐛𝐲 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭 1979 ( 𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘰 𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘦 3 )after the United States had struggled with about a decade of high inflation, low growth and poor stock market returns. But the market set off for an 18-year rally, a period in which stocks multiplied 15 times. Canadian-American economist 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧 𝐊𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐡 𝐆𝐚𝐥𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡 sarcastically said, “𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞.”Forecasting on short-term trends in the market is futile. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭? 𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐭?#forecasting #marketforecast #economyforecast

Hard Work and Smart WorkIf hard work made you rich, day labourers would be millionaires. If it was about formal education, PhD holders would be the richest. It's how about how well you use your brain, how creative and innovative you can be, learning to leverage and increasing your financial Knowledge. We are now in the brain era. If you refuse to think you will continue working for those who think and you will continue selling your time for money. Time is limited therefore you can never be wealthy because you can work more than 24 hours a day. Instead, the wise focus on sellingvalue and duplicate it.Haven't you seen people who work so hard day and night,yet they have been struggling for years. Yet there are people like Brian Acton and Jan Koum who founded WhatsApp in 2009 andin 2014 sold it to Facebook at $22 billion. These people used their brains and made money that one cannot get as pension evenafter working for 45 years. John D Rockefeller said "He who works all day has no time to make money." If you die today, how many years can your money take care of your generation? John D Rockefeller died in 1937 but his personal net worth was nearly $400 billion when adjusted in 2022. That's the power of passive income and leverage. If you are not using leverage, you are working too hard for too little. Put your degree, your talent and your brain together and find a way of doing something remarkable for your generation not just moving around with titles which scare people when you are selling time and working for money.Follow Vinayak JadhavLinkedInLinkedIn NewsLinkedIn News IndiaLinkedIn Guide to Creating#dataanalytics #personaldevelopment #personalgrowthanddevelopment #learningandgrowing #learninganddevelopment

Consumerism simply means consuming something so we can make our self satisfy , so we can make yourself happy , like buying a supercar , having a hot girlfriend , or becoming billionaire , or alpha , sigma , which is mantra of the today to be happy , but the dangerous side of the consumerism is the exploitation of the individuality.In our youth , we actually are incapable of deciding what we really want in our life , we are confused , hence they know that pretty well , and their very key to sell their product is by influencing the youth and prove to them what they need hence they become a puppet.Buying things which don't matter to you but you still buy it , you don’t want to be the person which you have become , just because you have been told how you should be. When you completely lose your soul and intelligence, that’s when you become a perfect consumer.Consumers in the past used to spend his money to buy the product , but the consumer of today is spending his time to buy the content , hence the more time he spends on the content the more he will be addicted to it , he will believe it , hence he will buy whatever the content creator says to him.It is a very dangerous age where the influencer has the command of the consumer , demand can be created , supply can be controlled , hence the consumer, which was meant to be god , has become a slave.

the playbook noone tells you about.

I’ve cracked the code of the biggest influencers on social media - and I am telling you for free - it is a nuanced derivative of fear mongering. Surefire examples and templates below:1. Inflation will kill you. But before it does, buy my course.2. Stock markets are a proxy for the government’s success or failure. Retail investors only lose money to institutions. But to invest in those same evil markets, buy my course.3. India is doomed to fail. Go abroad, earn money, diversify your assets. Even if you can afford none of the above, join my community and buy my course.4. I became rich by doing a 9 to 5, but for you, it won’t work. Instead, come join my networking workshop on how to be friends with rich people and elevate your misery. 5. Government sucks. Big corporations suck. They all suck - your money. Instead, buy my course - so I can suck (your money of course).

"Internet brain results from spending too much time on the internet. It manifests as an inability to focus for long periods of time; a strong desire to “check” something — be it social media, email, trending topics, or your favorite newspaper’s landing page — even, and perhaps especially, when you don’t actually want to; a constant feeling of adrenaline that is somewhere between excitement and anxiety; a lack of patience for anything that is inherently slow; and a significantly harder time being present in offline life, such as constantly needing to pick up your phone." https://lnkd.in/ekuwBctn

Being Curious.The desire to know is often referred to as curiosity. It’s the silent force that helps us prioritize important things, not just urgent ones.Consider this - our brains are naturally wired to seek pleasure and avoid discomfort. Personal finance, with its spreadsheets and numbers, often falls into the latter category. But curiosity is like a flashlight in a dark room; it illuminates the corners we’d rather ignore. This happens when we start asking, "What if I could make my money work harder for me?" or "How do the wealthy think about saving and investing?" Suddenly, the subject comes alive.Sometimes the journey to asking these questions is intrinsic, and sometimes one needs a nudge. Influencers and brands often position their pitch from the lens of greed or fear to give you that nudge. But will that nudge stay with you in the long run?To be honest, for me, it hasn’t. What has helped is making the process more enjoyable. It all started by having a conversation and bombarding my friend (who is a qualified advisor) with questions on matters related to my money.That worked. So, the only nudge I would give you today is to follow your curiosity and seek out a friend. If they are not in your current network, just know that I am happy to introduce you to a bunch of my qualified friends here at Turtle 🐢 #FinancialPlanningZaruriHai #ThinkLikeATurtle #Curiosity #personalfinance

Has the Internet left us more depressed and/or anxious?I saw this comment the other day on a video I was watching, and it made so much sense that I took a screenshot. The video was about the rise in anxiety in the last 10-15 years, and it’s correlation with the rise in technology, like cell phones and social media.I’m a millennial, so I remember life before we had Internet and cell phones. I was definitely more social and more hopeful for the world. Life felt more colorful. But that’s in part because I didn’t have the distractions of social media or cell phones.Yes, I had a MySpace or Xanga account before Facebook was even a thing, but not having a cell phone that gave me access to those sites made it so that I wasn’t spending all my time on it.Now, if I want to see what’s happening with my friends, family, or what’s happening in the world, I can just open up my phone and get loads of information in an instant.I can scroll for hours on end just taking in content of all kinds, not realizing how many hours have flown by…In order for my business, or most businesses, to do well in today’s world, we have to exist on social media in some form or fashion, so we can’t escape it even if we wanted to.Pretty scary and sad when you think about it…But on the flip side, I do believe technology has made us smarter than ever.We have a great deal of information at our fingertips and can learn so much so quickly!And, we’re more aware of what’s happening in our world, in our government, and in our lives.
