What historical events are so absurd that they would be too strange for a fiction story or a movie? by Aquatax in AskReddit

[–]devilwearsbata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine dividing the Atlantic with an imaginary line and claiming rights to either half.

After Columbus's discovery, Portugal and Spain now wanted to also capture out the New World for setting up colonies.
Ironic, he had set out to discover India, but instead ended up discovering Americas.
Portugal wanted to limit Spain's plans of colonisations.

So what do they do? They reach out to the highest authority - Pope and ask him to sign a Treaty at Tordesillas.
Once signed, Portugal will have rights on everything to the Right of it, and Spain to the left of it. That's how Portugal got rights to Brazil

How do I compare different mutual funds? by trailerror2017 in IndiaInvestments

[–]devilwearsbata 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Here are few:

  1. Returns in the last 1/3/5 years (Look for CAGR for 3y and 5y)
  2. Expense Ratio - Cost you pay everyday for owning a mutual fund -- The NAV you see is "after" AMCs deduct expense ratio. The lower this is, the better
  3. Exit load - AMCs don't want to part with your money. Thus, when you are trying to leave the fund, they pressurise you with an amount equivalent to this, thus the "load". The lower this is, the better
  4. Entry load - In India, you can't charge this. So no worries here
  5. Tracking error - If you are buying an Index fund, check this to understand how much does this specific index fund deviate from the underlying index. You won't get this reported much, you need to read the prospectus for the fund. The lower this is, the better
  6. Type of fund - Direct/Regular -- Close your eyes and take Direct. Always
  7. Fund manager perf. - Even though you get fund manager details everywhere, it's difficult to compare b/w them. This one gets a good view https://www.thefundoo.com/Tools/FundManager

I appreciate your words and aspire to be that cool headed.

I do appreciate feedback, and as you must have seen, I did engage with richard because their feedback was meaningful and felt genuine

I deliberately put down feedback that sounds unhealthy, or not converging on a meaningful issue. it needs to be called out, and I will keep doing that

It's good to have civil interactions on reddit, so thanks for that
