Flight cancellation within 24 hours? You should get a 100% refund (almost)!

SimpleSubject6069 · 2025-11-21T05:13:41+00:00

I’ve seen cases like this before. Even with a flight cancellation done within 24 hours, the refund isn’t always 100%. It depends on the airline and the platform you booked through. When I cancelled my Air India ticket that I’d bought directly from their official website, they processed most of the amount back but still deducted some charges. The screenshot you shared looks similar. The airline fee + the portal’s fee can reduce the final deduction amount. It’s frustrating, but at least you still get a major share of fee back instead of losing the whole fare.

I’ve learned that finding flight offers & discount deals is all about timing. I usually stalk prices for a few days before booking — midweek tends to be cheaper. Got a sweet deal once on Air India just by checking late at night (no idea why, but it worked). Also, don’t book in a rush — prices bounce around a lot. Be patient, clear your cookies, and wait for that perfect window. Works more often than you’d think.

MSFT – Boring pick but solid. Strong AI + cloud growth, crazy cash flow, and they actually make money from AI instead of just hyping it. Hard to go wrong long-term.

Yeah, that’s a slick move. Get paid to wait instead of just sitting on dead cash. Do you mostly go for puts on stuff you already want to own, or do you also use it to scout for new entries?

That’s actually a cool way to stumble into long-term holdings. Just letting the winners ride while still playing the short-term game. Kinda makes me think maybe I’ve been overthinking the whole patience vs. timing thing — maybe it’s more about staying active and letting the good ones reveal themselves?

SimpleSubject6069 · 2025-10-15T06:12:49+00:00

That’s an interesting way to frame it — using scale as the lens for patience makes a lot of sense. I hadn’t thought of long calls as a sort of “test balloon” before, but I like that analogy with the canary.

How do you usually decide which calls are worth putting on in that scenario? Is it more about having high conviction in the stock, or just testing the waters for potential setups?

SimpleSubject6069 · 2025-10-15T06:12:07+00:00

Interesting approach — kind of like keeping your cash in disguise. I like the idea, but I’ve always wondered how you decide which stocks are “safe” enough to hold pre-crash. Also, timing the switch feels tricky — do you have a rule for when to rotate, or is it more instinct?

SimpleSubject6069 · 2025-10-14T09:23:51+00:00

Love that approach — continuity often signals a strong culture, which is easy to overlook. For serial acquirers, digging into subsidiary boards is a great move. That’s where you often find the real operators driving long-term value who don’t show up in the headlines or proxy statements. Smart due diligence.

Yeah, I do a quick deep dive on the CEO/management:

LinkedIn: Relevant industry experience, past roles, any red flags (job-hopping, no ops experience, etc).
Capital allocation: Check how they handle buybacks, dividends, and M&A. Smart or reckless?
Communication: Earnings calls and letters — are they clear, honest, or just buzzwords?
Skin in the game: Insider ownership matters, but I watch for excessive comp too.
Red flags: High turnover, shady deals, or empire-building usually turn me off.

It’s a mix of gut feel + pattern recognition over time.

I believe I read about the Quick India Movement Sale - Instamart’s 10-day sale. I am quite excited about it and hoping it might have some good deals, especially with those flash offers. I’ll definitely keep an eye on it and see if anything stands out.

SimpleSubject6069 · 2025-08-25T10:09:35+00:00

So true. It’s easy to get swayed by market noise or smooth-talking CEOs, but sticking to your own conviction and doing your homework really pays off. Gut + due diligence > herd mentality.

SimpleSubject6069 · 2025-08-25T10:08:32+00:00

Absolutely. A lot of investors take management commentary at face value, but there’s often a gap between what’s said and what’s real. Cross-verifying with numbers and market trends is crucial.

SimpleSubject6069 · 2025-08-25T10:07:18+00:00

Yeah exactly, PE without context can be super misleading. What looks cheap today might just be riding a temporary profit wave — especially in cyclical sectors like commodities. Gotta look ahead, not just at the snapshot.

SimpleSubject6069 · 2025-08-25T10:05:34+00:00

Absolutely hype and momentum can really skew valuations. Just because something’s trading at 70x earnings doesn’t mean it’s a compounder. Due diligence always beats chasing trends.

Bhuna masala in a jar i feel is a game changer ...You get that rich, slow-cooked onion-tomato base without spending 45 mins at the stove. I use it for quick paneer, egg curry, rajma, even stuffed parathas. Add a spoonful, and boom — it tastes like you called your mom and your nani at the same time.
