Most people/government agencies seem to have no idea of using, processing, storing personally identifiable information. I'm not sure how they store all these physical application forms. Who has access to this? What would they do with the forms after the allotment process? With... 3 1 replies

We All Know What’s Going On: The Indian Market Is on Thin Ice It’s the same story every day—FIIs are offloading stocks like clockwork, and DIIs keep soaking it all up. We all know the DIIs are just mutual funds using our money, not theirs. This isn’t some brilliant buying strategy; it’s them propping up the market to keep things from collapsing.

We all know this game. Let’s... 2 0 replies

How I Unexpectedly Made a Profit A friend of mine recently told me about a new way to make some extra money. Normally, I don’t trust things like that and try to stay away from anything that sounds too good to be true. But he seemed so happy with it that I decided to give it a shot just to see if it worked. I started with a small amount—and the bonus actually came through. The next day, I tried again with a slightly larger amount, and the result pleasantly surprised me. It turned out... 2 1 replies
