Madaari

A word in the Hindi language used to define "someone who make out a living by making monkeys/bears/or other animals dance". If this word can be used in the modern day daily context of our life, I am sure we will all be able to draw multiple inferences. 

Now interestingly as we have all evolved from the apes, it means that we can also dance to music beats, do lunges, jump around performing acrobatic. To top it all, scratching our heads not knowing what else to do to please our masters. 

Our masters are very hard to please, they often visit us every year once or probably every 5th year commanding us to click on some button that they please. Oh! don't take me wrong as am not any extraordinary Bandar complaining against my masters and trying to bring a change. 

I am happy that my masters love me and shower me with gifts once in a blue moon. A couple of years ago I saw a road that had no potholes and it amazed me. I couldn't believe that my Madaari spoilt my rocking road with a paved tarmac. Well then it didn't turn out to be so bad as the same road turned into a swimming pool as soon as the monsoon arrived and we were allowed to take a dip in the holy water. I was happy again to know that the money I had earned with all my hard work was put to such good use and to my benefit. 

However, I have some other Madaari's in my life too and they are equally competent and have immense potential. Some of them can even be more generous than my 1st Madaari. Most of them are found at the place where I go daily to show my skills and acrobatics (kalabaziyan, kyunki hum bhi baazigar hai). 

The only regret is that I do not have any friends there, somehow everyone acts friendly but loves bitching(I do not know what's the monkey term for this) and back biting. They love pulling each other down and always in a frenzy to showcase their talent to the Madaari there. I somehow feel that even though the Madaari is a nincompoop, he is very respected because he pays us well for the same repeated act that we perform everyday. Last year he even gave us all a thing called 'Bonus', which sounded like a garden full of bananas but turned out to be a bag full of peanuts. 

It was very disappointing! Chirkut Saala!

Anyway moving on and to be continued.......

To all the new traders of the stock market

Hello new Trader/Investor,

I hope you have learnt the nuances of trading now.

Last month a report published in an Indian newspaper showed that around 1.2 million new traders joined the market and there were many more across the globe.

You are a part of the new growing tribe of retail investors who can change the fate of even Bankrupt companies.  It must feel great to make money at a click of the button and in the process change the fate of the companies.

Easier said than done however it won't work like this forever and there will be a time when you will have to start choosing between the real value, intrinsic value, spread and margin etc.

The reason most of you are making what you are making is coz even a 2% incremental change in the market can drive your stocks and bonds to a higher return.  Most importantly it's time to decide whether you want to be a trader or an investor or choose the hybrid model.

Something that has been bought at a 15 year low will obviously break all thresholds once it starts gaining traction and reaching back to it's pre-covid market rates.

I am happy that you have chosen the right stocks to start you journey in this sector and I am happy that you have realised the potential of the market. It's time that the retail investors need to return back to the stock market and start playing a dominant role. The time has arrived when retail investors will have and hold more power to change the course of the markets.

Lastly, i would advice the investors to be patient and not change their positions on a daily basis whereas the new traders immediately need to learn the meaning and implications of a stop loss.

In any case I would be happy to help with my knowledge and experience of over 12 years being a learner and explorer of wealth making.


To all the wealth makers...
Cheers.

Need to feel happy check your spam box

Alright I get it now! We are truly a sick generation. We are stuck between the cultural traditions of the 80's and the liberalisation of the 90's. It's not my fault I grew up playing in open fields and later ended up being a champion of Counter Strike. 

So,we are a confused generation who are still trying to seek comfort and solace in their mother's lap but don't feel shy to kiss their girlfriends in public. Our parents want us to get married and we want to travel the world.

If so much confusion doesn't make you mad then you are a well sorted out person and you do not need to read the blog further. However if you often feel lonely and depressed this is my suggestion to you. GO and read your Emails - Spam Box. 

Let me tell you how it helps - 

1. 10 banks are giving me easy loans - All of a sudden you will start feeling equivalent to the 'King of Good Times' himself.  I can take a loan for a car, a house, or even to buy my Louis Vuitton shoes and Calvin Klein Jeans. Every bank claims to offer me with the best  interest rate which my future generations will pay till they die. 

2. I have won GBP 10000000 and USD 500000 for unknown reasons -  Okay so what were you thinking when you dropped that mail in my inbox. Am I a fucking retard that I will transfer you money to get my lottery winnings. But I don't really mind seeing these mails in my spam box, makes me feel super duper lucky you know. I mean even Mahendra Singh Dhoni can feel jealous of my luck. 

3. World's best companies have the best jobs for me -  Okay I  know am one of the best among the sea of average people and thank you for choosing me Google and Facebook. I cannot express my gratitude to consider me for  being your CEO but I guess I will rather travel the world with Amazon.com rather than seating at the Desk. 

4.  10 matrimonial sites have the best match for me -  I still don't understand how these people get the email-id's and keep sending the same mails. Most of the times I want to say it out and loud to these matrimonial sites but guess they do not have Ears. However if I want to get married I would rather just start attending a lot of other marriages. Who doesn't know that in India only reference and trials work. " Meri mausi ki ladki ke dewar ke sasur ke bhai ka beta hai, bangalore mein job karta hai, aapki beti ki toh kismat khul gayi. Try karke dekh lo ekbaar." - said one aunty to the other in an Indian Wedding. 

5. Dr Batra claims that he will solve my hairfall problem - Oh yeah my genetics play no role in any of this, He is GOD and he is my saviour. Half of the people in the before and after photos don't even resemble. I mean look at Donald Trump(no offences) but even after spending millions he still looks like wearing nylon on his head. Let's just stay balding is a natural process and I will accept it. 

6.  3 best universities are giving me Degrees -  Don't even dare to say anything nasty about these people. They are my only option at a better life. Haven't your parents dreamt of you studying in Oxford and Harvard. Saala! Sundar Pichai didn't have enough marks to get admission in Sri Ram College of Commerce and here these people are promising us Oxford. As usual I do feel intelligent because of these people.

Oh! last but not least you also have the promotional codes from various websites and chat request from Anju, Manju, Tina and Sheena. Also please don't forget the Shining dolls and Cute Barbies who can make your life so pleasurable with the swipe of your credit card. 

What else can I expect from life! Long live my spam box and the spammers.

Ways to make more money
Ways to make money legally
Ways to earn more money

These are just some of the questions that we can find on Google. This is the result that you get when you type Money on Google.
About 2,64,00,00,000 results (0.47 seconds) 
To make things a little easier for the folks out here, I have compiled a list of the most easiest ways to make money after comparing all the Websites and the Lists that I possibly could.

Also, I have the links to the Wikipedia page for a better understanding of each topic.

1. SELL  - The question is what to sell and whom to sell. I have a full list of things that we can sell. The list is as follows -
a. Notes
b. Used Stuff
c. Education
d. Etc Etc.

Ever looked at your garage and wondered if the place holds enough stuff for you to auction. What if you get as lucky as this guy - Shelby in Garage. Now in case you don't get this lucky I have some other options for you as well -

1. Sell your stuff or on the other hand sell anything that you feel is noon-required in your Closet, Garage or Home. There are great websites and applications all over the world toying with this idea -such as thredUp, that deals with your  second hand clothes to give consumers a new hand feeling. Apart from the above mentioned, you can also use Poshmark or realreal.

2 . Sell your Education -  Now in case if you are wondering I will not ask for the conventional path of teaching. How about selling your notes - notesale or selling your presentations for a price on Slideshare or publish them on Prezi. Some people can also follow the conventional path of teaching or home tutoring. Its a side income and doesn't take much time also.

3. Be a Guide -  You may not be familiar with most parts of the world or know the history of those areas but what about your own city. Just imagine you stay in London or Paris and someone pays you to show them the city. What tops this idea is that its easy, you know your city better than anyone else in this world and applications like Vayable can help people make that extra quick buck easy and quick.

4. Place to stay -  The last item on a travellers list should be the worries about accommodation in an unknown city. This problem was solved when airbnb got launched and since then it has been easier than ever. But have you thought about the benefits of using the application as a vendor. Guesty has got a complete list of things that help people reap the benefits of airbnb and other such applications.
You have an extra room, then don't think, get up, clean the mess, put it on airbnb, start reaping the benefits.

5. Rent( either rent and don't buy or rent your items) -  Even some of the richest people in the world rent their luxuries rather than buying them. Well we all can just go to a store and lease a car rather than buying it in case if we do not use a car that much. Most people can hire a cab from Uber or OLA in case they just need a pick or a drop. It's easier to buy cars and homes with all the easy loans available but it's really hard to maintain the same. 'Every penny saved is one less penny to be earned' - anonymous quote.

 "50 Cent also claimed that most of his cars are rented, and that the jewellery he wears is borrowed from the jeweller rather than purchased."

Most importantly there are numerous ways earn money and we have multiple options to choose from however we choose to be oblivious of the fact that we have the resources but lack the will.

Cheers to all the people who want to make some extra cash.
Money can't buy happiness but can definitely buy the Yachts and the super cars.
