Are we in a recession?

We cant wait to let the definition confirm the phenomenon. The hot topic among investors is the possibility of a recession. A lot of investors were in fact confirmed that we are already in recession. But the definition says the market must correct more than 40% and the decline in GDP on a QoQ basis. The main thing that makes investors speculate about the recession is the situation we are in. If we look at history, the atmosphere resembles the situation prior to the recession. Nations around the world are facing the worst inflation within a couple of decades. Frequent interest hikes by the central bank to keep inflation under control. Each time prior to the recession, we could learn from history that the price of commodities and oil touched new highs almost every week. We are witnessing this. Analysts credit this rise in price to the war. But the truth is that war only accelerated the recession. Sooner or later, we will hit the mark of recession and we will see the consequences in our daily life. 
We can blame the central bank and hope they would bring the system in control. But that's not what investors like us do. For an investor to keep their wealth safe, he must hedge the position. There are a lot of ways of making the positions balanced, either we can short the market, or we can diversify to commodities and oils. Finding a better alternative isn't difficult. By studying the historical data, we can actually come up with better solutions.

Observation is the key

Too much focused on work or anything is not good at all. Not for both personal and professional. Yet we repeat the same pattern. Insanely focused in a work could bring better results. But these might lead to filter out the things we think is not at all important. But it turns out that is wrong. Often the things we wish could have were the things we merely ignored. Relationship is an example. Relationship with children and spouse often get cold when obsessed with way too much work. It is very much easy to eliminate the non essential and focus on what's important. But as the life progresses, most people realise that is not true. Giving time to nurture the relations are important as much as finishing the task. In the end all that matters is how well the life gets better. Just merely by observing the things that we thought as irrelevant may seems like a great choice to have. You might rethink and crafts the better one.

4 types of investments

 A retail investor, he must know the different phases of investment that companies undergo. Not each and every, but almost all companies. The first ones are from the founders. They muster their hard-earned money or money in exchange for some obligation to build the company. Actually, this is the initial investment and the best part is they can take as much as share they want. If it is founded by a single, he owns every share at the initial stage. But as the company grows, like any other company, it requires money for its future growth. So what the founders and chiefs of the company do this time is that they go to an Angel. Angel investors are the second-term investors backed up by their own money. This looks closely to each and every corner of the business and after a lot of obscure examination, they either accept or neglect the offer. If they’re to invest, they will do so by pledging share in return. Since the company is still at its initial stage, the ‘angels’ will get a large n...

Watching negative news

For a lot of reason some people avoid reading news. It is convinced by the society that reading newspapers or watching news for hours is good for us to get updated. In a sense that is true. News is something that should be watched or read. But what if the news itself diverges from its . Instead of delivering the news, these media’s are keenly focused on delivering addictive contents. A culture of attracting views got the foremost prioritization. As with the internet, the competition for getting views or subscription soared. This led the media companies to focus on customer acquisition than delivering news. They broadcast contents that are addictive and short term pleasurable. Our minds are readily acceptable to negative news than positive news. A bribe investigation is lot pleasurable a development project. We all know that negativity is bad for the mind. Yet we consume it as like we do with alcohol. What is even worse is we do this in the morning when our brain is fully functional. ...

Beliefs of discount

 Seasons are mostly beneficial to those who are making whole sales. The sales are driven highly with anticipation of belief that people are ready to spend money than before. It is beneficial to both the customer and seller. The main reason is the volume. In normal days, people won’t go shopping vividly and manufactures are less active. We are taught to believe that during season sales companies sell products with more discount. Sometimes with buy one get one offer. No one wants to bet large amount of money during non-seasonal days. We wait for discount to hit thus to save money. And when the discount breaks, huge amount of masses place the order. This is way more than actual sale. Discounts are certain and hence the profit.   On the flipside, companies will profit like hell these days. They employ more workers during this time and install many outlets. They know they can swap money like never before. It is confusing to see who makes real profit. Both sides cannot maintain the...
