Equity vs. Debt

It is irrefutable that equity and debt investments are well known in modern culture. I am not wrong if I say equity is much more popular nowadays. However, the question is what these terms are and how we can define them. I don't know what the book says, but I have some opinions.

      When we need a solution to any problem, for that business is required. For a business, you need funds to run or start your business. For that, 1) obtain a bank loan (debt). 2) from your father or from anyone else who lends you money (equity). ney (equity). Research suggests that 90% of businesses fail within a year. The question now is why should we go for such a low probability?

     We humans have evolved over time, and business adds value to our lives. The problem is that no one knows which business will create value for our society. Even the founder didn't know that he or she would become a billionaire. Therefore, we need to take a risk. Risk is not everyone's cup of tea. I can firmly say that your emergency fund or important money is put into debt funds or banks. Debt funds are made for those who don't have a risk appetite and want a stable life). But those who have surplus money give it to businesses, which takes on new risk for our society (if it doesn't work, then don't lose much, but if it works out, it will create a large value for society). Investments in equities are not bad or risky if you understand your risk appetite, do research, and give time.

Chemcrux Enterprises

Rural areas offer a more favorable environment compared to metropolitan cities. During my second wave of COVID vacation, I had the opportunity to spend time in my hometown and I discovered that it was a source of great inspiration and ideas. Although I have always been intrigued by stock market books, most of the ones I came across were from Western countries. This led me to search for books specifically focused on the Indian stock market, and that's when I came across an incredible book titled "How to Avoid Loss and Earn Consistently in the Stock Market" by Prasenjit Paul. I read the entire book during my journey from my hometown to Ankleshwar and upon finishing it, I was deeply moved by his story. While I generally have an independent mindset when it comes to my investments, I find myself giving a second thought to stocks recommended by individuals like Prasenjit Paul.

FAANG

  This is a popular short name for the world's largest companies (F=facebook, A=Apple, A=Amazon, N=Netflix, G=google). I believe that they are not providing us basic needs in life. If we stay away from that, then we can save a lot of money, time, and attention, and, more importantly, we can save our economy.                 Facebook is  much more costly as attention and time. Amazon is costly as extra shopping or marketing. Google is costly as retained knowledge. and Apple is expensive for our wallets. Netflix can be expensive at time .
