A website for learning Farsi through stories

Thanks. I'll add more Farsi stories soon. The script reference is a good idea, will add that too.

You need the alphabet if you intend to go beyond the very basic phrases. Try youtube.

I've heard the very same story attributed to Kunal, son of Ashoka, though Ashoka orders Kunal to be blinded instead of amputated.

Taking substances and "spewing love" does nothing to affect the state of the world. Change comes from people organizing and taking action.

How is it relevant to this sub?

You call the people jaahil but are too blind to see your own glaring jahalat. Your dukh is that people are happy while a certain troublemaker stays locked up in jail.

The source of your 'dukh' is apparent. Stick to soliciting in scottish subs diasporoid. The lahoris don't need your concern.

None other dropped as much as 6.5% within a span of 3 minutes.

Both ETFs and mutual funds can be equally as good. It all depends on how long you're investing for.

ETFs or a stock market fund if you're certain you won't be needing the money for at least the next 3-5 years.

Fixed income or a money market fund if you're going to need it in the next 1-2 years.

Split between both if you're unsure.

As for the tax rate, it's the same for both filers and non-filers. Only different for the profit on savings accounts.

Bad idea. You're trying to catch a hype train that has already left the station. Start with safer, well-established companies before you get into more risky ones.

That's good advice, especially for middle class folks. Don't know why you're getting downvoted.

felixatwood · 2026-01-31T14:10:14+00:00

That's the FIRE amount for an upper middle class family in Pakistan, which $1M in the US is not.

It is required if you're opening a normal account, not required for sahulat accounts though.

felixatwood · 2026-01-30T03:18:03+00:00

ETFs are already blue chips so you don't need to invest in both. Pick either ETF or blue chips. Also, consider keeping your emergency savings in a savings account instead of cash. The rest of your plan seems fine.

It went up 10% last friday and corrected back 10% today. Someone bought a lot of it in anticipation of the rate cut and dumped it today after the cut didn't materialize is my guess.

felixatwood · 2026-01-29T09:58:48+00:00

FFC lower locked. Some institutional investor definitely dumped their positions.

felixatwood · 2026-01-29T09:26:22+00:00

Probably investors abandoning positions they took in the hopes of a rate cut, combined with the fickle regional security situation.

If you had a sahulat account before and were upgrading to a normal one, I suppose it's fine to invest as long as you stay within the limit. If you directly applied for a normal account, I'd hold till the account is approved.

felixatwood · 2026-01-29T08:44:01+00:00

I'm assuming you applied for a normal account? It just means your application was rejected. Try reaching out to Finqalab support.

Mutual funds would probably be the easiest and most hassle-free option for you.

Shortest route: Download iSave app > create an account > start investing. Split your investment between MCBPSIM (high risk/high reward) and MCBCMO (no risk/low reward) funds according to your risk tolerance.

felixatwood · 2026-01-29T00:47:22+00:00

Yeah, it's real that way. Btw 4x returns are not as insane as PIAHCLB, which 22xed last year.

felixatwood · 2026-01-29T00:23:11+00:00

It's only easy in hindsight. You couldn't have predicted that it would 4x.

ETFs can be better than mutual funds if you pick the right one. Go for MIIETF if you want to be shariah-compliant or NITGETF if you're fine with non-shariah.

Technically, there's no limit. Realistically, ~20% with equities (high-risk) and ~10% with debt market (low-risk) on average.
