NEW INVESTMENT PRODUCT CATEGORY IS SEBI'S LATEST MOVE COMMENDABLE?

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has introduced a consultation paper proposing a new investment product category aimed at addressing a specific market need.

SEBI after reviewing the feedback and finalizing the regulations through stakeholder discussions, may issue the final regulations.

THE IMMINENT MIDDLE EAST WAR

Now the attacks are spreading to include Israeli settlements in the West Bank and Galilee. You’re just not hearing about it in the mainstream media.

FREE SPEECH IS VERY EXPENSIVE FOUNDATIONS OF INTERNET FREEDOM

\"I had once believed that the digital world was inherently free and could never be otherwise. Now I see something very different: the cooperation of government and large-scale private industry to restrict free speech and the free flow of information. Elon Musk made the decision to make Twitter much more like the old internet than the new one but, as a consequence, has lost many billions of dollars in revenue. As he puts it, free speech is very expensive. Truly, this is what it has come to. In other words, advertising dollars themselves are being deployed to restrict rather than expand freedom.The struggle for freedom is not technological but philosophical and religious. That’s where the real battle is,” writes Jeffrey A. Tucker and feels that freedom needs to be defended if we plan to keep it.

How To Preserve Wealth Over Centuries?

Once while in Rome James Rickards was ensconced in a 900-year-old fortune still intact. Here was a family fortune that had survived the Black Death, the Thirty Years' War, the wars of Louis XIV, the Napoleonic Wars, both world wars, the Holocaust and the Cold War. He says the Colonna family weren't unique; there were other families like them throughout Europe who kept a low profile. These families are only too happy to be overlooked by the Forbes 400. That type of wealth and longevity could not be due merely to good luck. In 900 years, too many cards are turned from the deck for luck alone to be sufficient. There had to be a technique.

Will Artificial Intelligence Solve All Problems?

Every time a fancy new technology appears on the horizon, the experts emerge from the firmament to assure us that it will solve every human problem in the future.

The constant invocation of AI as the future solution to all problems is getting extremely annoying. Can you imagine a world in which AI demands that your favorite local watering hole needs to shut?

Gold: An Excellent Diversification

Gold is priced in dollars. Inflation means the dollar is worth less in terms of purchasing power. That means it takes more dollars to buy gold, so the dollar price of gold goes up. What you may lose in the rest of your portfolio in terms of dollar purchasing power is made up in part or all from the profits you make on the higher dollar price of gold. James Rickards says owning gold will protect you from the ravages of inflation. You’ll have your inflation protection in place 24/7 and won’t be caught off-guard.
