@r3b0rn Uh, no. It's good advice to continue SIPs and not try to time the market, but the number 100 is ridiculous.

@kap6582 What does this mean? That the earnings for some (the ones whose cost of borrowing increased) would go down?

@russellmanofgod Now start from a different point. And another. And another until you have run out of points. Now what do you find? That's what he is pointing out. At this is a single data point highlighted to sell a story. The average reality tells a whole different story. Edit: I wish people...

@debbiezaina Where did derivatives come into the picture?

@neal000 Tracking is a problem for mutual funds too. There is some tracking error in the UTI nifty index fund too. But the valuation of a simple index fund is based on the NAV - with the exception of certain funds - most of them dont have any underlying ETFs (a popular exception being the MO...

@furiouscat4323 Look at the number of people covered.

@onisim Point taken :) Edit: btw, not sure whats going on, but the few nifty ETFs I checked all have a history of giving out dividends, though not regularly.

@montse811 The risk that the fed decided to take in buying bonds is to try and ward off major business shutdowns down the line. Companies that rely atleast partially on rolling debt over will be forced to declare bankruptcy in a staggered fashion if the junk bond markets freeze or dry up. Debt...

@onisim @denorasweet, @zashmaster, @crixus123, @gunderson500 - anyone knows what's the deal with Indian index etfs and dividends? I can't seem to find any concrete evidence either way. It looks like many just stopped paying dividends. But nothing suggests that the dividends are being reinvested...

@rosslufc Then it's perhaps the wrong thing to focus on in the middle of a pandemic - in the dire destruction of demand and jobs that we are going to face.

@ranran19 Can you provide me a link? Didnt find anything useful when I checked and its a pain to search on the phone.

@rosslufc A stimulus is very different from a budget. Budget can focus on policy changes, including environmental focus. I'm all for pro environmental moves. Pro environmental changes are going to cost money in the short term - both to the government (think subsidies or tax incentives) and to...

@ranran19 And let me add that the volatility (just the difference between the ETF price and the NAV, not talking about the volatility of the underlying index itself which is common between both mutual funds and ETFs.) makes it possible for entry points to differ significantly from the actual...

@rosslufc Why is climate a priority for this? This is not a budget, this is relief in light of the pandemic.

@annacola What shifting goalposts? I assume that if your portfolio is so large that the you need a 2L or larger rebalancing, then it's not too hard to imagine having a 2L amount in the bank account (or one of those flexi deposits). That'd be your emergency fund, if nothing else. Then you...

@annacola Well, 2L in spare cash in the bank acc for someone trying to rebalance atleast 2L (and thus having a large-ish portfolio) isn't such a major ask. And in 3 odd days that 2L will be replenished anyways.

@annacola You can avoid this problem even for mutual funds - buy and sell on the same day so that the same day's nav is applied to both transactions (even if they are different funds). True this limits you to 2L transactions, but that isn't such a big limitation afterall unless you have really...

@kayperez What's a real account?

@denisovic The USD being the most trusted currency in the world, they do have options that many others don't. Including flat out printing money. Isn't that what MMT proponents claim they need to do? Given that Europe has already gone into negative interest rates, it's not impossible that US...

@onisim Thanks for this. Liquidity is one aspect, but tracking accuracy is another. If you could, can you track price as well? Because just the other day I was looking into the SBI nifty next 50 etf for some reason and the price was often way off compared to the underlying index particularly...
