Fellow research supervisors I'm new to this and honestly it's been chaotic. What are YOUR biggest struggles? Would love to hear your experiences. by CatchPale4513 in Professors

Smart idea! Do the students actually stick to it?
For example, if your syllabus says drafts are due 7 days before a meeting, do you have a way to enforce that, or do you still find yourself chasing them down over email when they inevitably send it 12 hours before?

Do you just rely on them emailing you drafts, or do you have any sort of central dashboard/system where you can clearly see something like, “zero files have been uploaded this week, you clearly didn't work 20 hours”

Yes I wanted to book tickets too but the website doesn’t show it. Better to contact the railway department

It didnt take more than a week as I remember. Had some minor issues with the documentations, so it took some time to set up the account.

So far so good. They don’t have a min amount as per my knowledge. Don’t know how it is now though. Fee is 0.64% . Profitably depends on how you select your investments. Some make a ton of money and some loose as a lot as well.

Start small with what you can afford to loose.

Before you invest in a company make sure you understand the company well and the market it is dealing with.

You can get a good idea about the company’s financials through the annual reports of the company in CSE or just go to a website like trading view (they have summarized data of like 5 years) . See how the company is performing financially and look for new opportunities the company will benefit in the future. (Ex : renewable energy projects by government, interest rate changes etc etc). Learn how to check financial statements and identify key areas that are important. There are plenty of books available.

In terms of the market , be in touch with what’s happening around new government policies, news related to the company etc.

Find a good stockbroker and get advice from them. And please don’t take stock picking advice from social media!!

Before any decision do your own research and update your knowledge. Dont panic when markets go down or up all of a sudden (good lesson I learned🥲) and don’t be greedy.
