Trading, on the other hand, is more like a blind date. You look at the person, find out superficial details about them, and wing it! The debate of which is better is extremely obnoxious, in all honesty. To each their own; it is their money, after all. Dating, however, opinions and advice on that are better found in different places.

Assets vs Liabilities: What's wrong with your Balance Sheet?

Growing up, we all had terrible management of our pocket money, and therefore most of us would often spend more than our needs and then end up broke before the end of the month. It seemed like we had an eternally cursed wallet, but you're mistaken, my friend.

Busting Indian Investment Myths

Yesterday, when a few of my relatives visited, they were chilling in the living room, watching TV. It was a relaxing evening; the adults were just chit-chatting about politics, cricket, and investments. To be honest, I like these discussions because I like to hear their perspectives about various things in life, especially investments. To eavesdrop, I frequently moved across the living room to the kitchen or sometimes just stood there and pretended to be using my phone.

As bizarre as it may sound, a lot of people insure the strangest of things. But we have a winner here. Spooksafe insurance policies.
