@predict_addict Super news!

@kothari_pratik In a week

The most elegant definition in mathematics is 470 years old. The equals sign was invented in 1557 by the English algebraist Robert Recorde. His reason, in his own words: "because no two things can be more equal than two parallel lines of equal length."

@predict_addict Sir, when is this going to be available in print edition to buy? Like on Amazon in Canada.

That same elegance runs through every page of Kiselev's Algebra, Part I — the legendary Soviet textbook. Read the first faithful English translation: valeman.gumroad.com/l/kiselev_alge…

@dugalira Sadly GDP Deflator

So where is the growth coming from? (No, Don’t give me data answers) More jobs? Better earnings? Urban? Rural? Lower savings? Wealth gains? Others?

@VXO150 Wow!!! Incredible and so profound!!

Padma Shree for Haris Rauf! #AsiaCupFinal #indvspak2025

Jane Street says, “Thank you!”

@Iszzak There is a reason why it is called “Test” Cricket!

But Woakes has the respect of billions around the world. Crazy how character gets tested in the most unfathomable ways! Only true for test cricket though. The other formats of cricket barely touch the soul anymore. And on that note, so proud of that win! (2/2)

If you walk out with a broken hand on the 5th day of a test match, there's something to be said about this sport that tests an individual's ability to be pushed to the absolute. He didn’t even have to put bat to ball. But… (1/2)

@VXO150 100%…I watch this movie at least once a year with my son…

@kothari_pratik Goated movie too.

1min40secs =100 secs of the gem of acting as also the Indian film making here…

Never thought hockey qualifications could influence 🇨🇦 Canadian GDP print…my TIL moment… #CdnEcon #Canada #NHL

Ben Stokes is the prime example of how “fair play”, “spirit of the game”, “Rules Are Rules” change their definitions depending upon whether they apply to English team or other teams. Classic example of old age English mentality which not many care and wisely so! #INDvsEND

@tds122 @panrahuj Remember Alex Carey?!!!!

@panrahuj we didn't rob the world cup . Rules are rules

Big England supporter obviously . but this evening's shenanigans exhibits nicely why we are the most disliked team in world cricket #ENGvIND

@donnelly_brent I think you…because you wrote well on USD/CAD…yes!

Who is your favorite EM strategist .. someone who writes practical / actionable stuff on EMFX and/or EM equities? thanks

@Nithin0dha Most importantly unlisted companies are so illiquid that there isn’t anything called reliable mkt prices for them. And I would trust the expertise of mkt when it comes to valuing a business or price discovery more than my own gut feel.

A wealth manager approached us recently to buy one of our unlisted companies so that he could sell it at a 50% markup immediately. The popularity of some of these unlisted companies, like NSE, MSEI, Chennai Super Kings, among retail investors, etc., is crazy. Most investors think they can make easy money by picking these pre-IPO companies, waiting for the IPO, and making big listing gains. But it's not as easy as it sounds, and there are all sorts of risks. Even if an unlisted company IPOs, its price can be below what you paid. For example, HDB set its IPO price band 40% below the last traded prices on unlisted platforms. Unlike stock exchanges, there's no price discovery for unlisted shares. The markups and commissions are ridiculous. These platforms are also unregulated, so there's nobody to protect you. Companies can go a long time without an IPO like NSE, which means you can get stuck without liquidity. Unlisted companies also make fewer disclosures than listed companies. You are better off investing in mutual funds than trying to pick unlisted companies. We recently wrote a post about the risks. @bebhuvan recently wrote a post about the risks. Link in comments.

@VXO150 @kalpeshmak16 By the way, whenever I talk to my friends in Australia and ask them what major problems their country / economy is facing, based on their answers, I feel I’m talking to myself!

@kalpeshmak16 @kothari_pratik The guy who wrote has a very parody name indeed.

This is your LOL headline of the day! #Canada #Australia #cdnecon

@kalpeshmak16 No…if you track Australian economy, you will realise Canadian economy is not the only one mismanaged so much…that’s all I can say…

@kothari_pratik Must be some parody, I am sure !!

Great way to honour two legends of the game….
