Risk and return are directly related. Lower the risk, lower will be the returns, while with high returns comes high risk. To generate high returns, one has to invest in market-linked investments as against fixed-income products.
An asset class that has the potential to deliver high returns is equity. Several studies done in the past have shown that compared to other asset classes, equities have delivered higher inflation-adjusted return over longer term.
- Direct equity
Investing in shares or stocks means one is taking exposure in the equity asset class. Investing in shares that are traded either at Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) or National Stock Exchange (NSE) refers to secondary market. One needs to open a demat account with a brokerage house to start investing in them. “Below i will recommend a Professional Stock Broker”
One may diversify across sectors and market capitalisations to hedge against the risk of investing directly in stocks. Currently, the 1-3-5 year index (Sensex) return is around 13 percent, 8 percent and 12.5 percent respectively.
Risks: Equities by nature are inherently volatile in terms of returns and the risk of losing a considerable portion of capital is also high. The only silver lining is that over long periods, equity has been able to deliver higher than inflation-adjusted returns among all asset classes.

GOTS, part 1.1
Hey apes.
tldr: this post is the first section of a long post broken into 3 parts (it's really fucking long). It's about the corruption that almost broke GameStop and is still very much a market issue that we're dealing with as GameStop shareholders. In other words, this post identifies some of the people who've been fucking with our favorite stock, among others, and possibly sheds light on the meaning of some of DFV and RC's recent tweets. Lots of corruption. Seriously disturbing stuff. And I think we're getting set up for a regulatory trap we can side step if we understand the game we've entered. Please take the time for this one.
How many of you have watched the evolving manipulation of the meme stock narrative by hedge fund and bank controlled media outlets since January? I have, and it’s been a fascinating shitshow. One of my serious hopes is that our community is the first step in a legitimized demand for the journalistic integrity we’re showing, especially in market journalism. So as much as we’re memeing Melissa Lee at CNBC and though I think she’s the most beautiful woman in the world when she says “naked shorts” then analyzes her whoopsie with Shocked Pikachu Face retracement indicators that are GameStop bullish, here’s the fucked up thing that I hope we’re all grasping:
Melissa Lee was probably getting ripped to shreds in her earpiece in that moment for telling the truth. Why? Because saying “naked shorting” is probably on a banned speech list at CNBC. Why? Something we should all know by now: the hedge funds and their bank friends actually own the market media outlets (directly; they’re on the paperwork) and, when you’re caught in a bad market yolo, the truth is costly unless you can suppress it or manipulate the people who’ve called your bluff toward wrong conclusions.
That said, and to be transparent, I think what we’re witnessing with companies outside of GameStop in the memes stock event is the set up for a devastating pump and dump that 1) helps hed

Hey apes.
tldr: part 1.1 of this series introduced the market media manipulation of the meme stock narrative to paint retail investors and GameStop in a negative light, the possibility that RC's Sears tweet points directly at predatory vulture funds, and a big finance play to coordinate a massive meme stock pump and dump that crushes retail and gives the SEC an excuse to regulate Wall Street's retail investment competition, a scheme that centers around AMC and it's CEO, Adam Aron. Part 1.2 dives deeper into vulture funds and specifically focuses on Apollo Global Management, a vulture fund founded by Leon Black, the Apollo founding CEO who stepped down as CEO and from the board for paying Jeffrey Epstein $158 million dollars. Why is that relevant to our favorite stock? Apollo Global tried to orchestrate a leveraged buyout of GameStop in 2019. It also attempted a leveraged buyout of AMC in December 2020. And Adam Aron? He's been with Leon Black and Apollo for 30 years and was an Apollo Global vulture fund Senior Partner when Apollo sold AMC to Chinese vulture fund, Wanda Group.
This post also sets the stage for an exploration of why a company's senior note debt is as important to future company projections as its ability to control the dilution of its shares when attempting to maintain shareholder value. This discussion aims to shed light on the importance of RC paying off GameStop's outstanding senior note debt, though market media has attempted to thoroughly obscure how important that event was in the meme stock narrative, and why.
And thanks to everyone who took the time to read GOTS 1.1 and leave comments and point deeper down rabbit trails. Please continue. Apes together strong.
Let's go.
ENTER APOLLO GLOBAL MANAGEMENT
Apollo Global Management is a predatory vulture fund that has a long history with AMC. Here's an article that paints a clear picture of Apollo entering the AMC bankruptcy sweepstakes written by Mark Hake for investorplace.com before price action in January; here’s a big chunk of Hake’s article:

... keep reading on reddit ➡Spot market prices for US domestic HRC and CRC have continued to climb since our last report a week ago, as sources say that long lead times, logistics issues, and supply constraints continue to plague the market.
This week, US HRC prices are trending at $83-$85 cwt. ($1,830-$1,874/mt or $1,660-$1,700/nt) FOB mill, against a range of $82-$83 cwt. ($1,808-$1,830/mt or $1,640-$1,660/nt), FOB mill, a week ago.
US CRC spot market prices have also firmed, and are now being heard at $93-$95 cwt. ($2,050-$2,094/mt or $1,860-$1,900/nt), FOB mill, against a range of $92-$93 cwt. ($2,028-$2,050/mt or $1,840-$1,860/nt), FOB mill, a week ago.
SteelOrbis sources, however, are mixed on their predictions for the market. Whereas some believe that prices will stay firm into 2022, with next year’s average being “to be determined,” and prefer to take a wait-and-see approach to how pending new-capacity will impact the market, others believe that new capacity won’t cause prices to “crash and burn” as some economists are predicting.
One source (I wonder who that is?) said he believes that the “new normal” for US HRC pricing could settle at $60 cwt.+ ($1,323/mt or $1,200/nt), FOB mill, whereas others (Timna Tanners) speculate that prices could shift down to $30 cwt. ($661/mt or $600/nt), FOB mill.
“It feels like high stakes gambling at this point,” a source said. “If you would have told me, at the start of the pandemic, that we’d be looking at $85 cwt. HRC in June of this year, I would have said you were nuts. But here we are.”
We had a rough week and it didn’t help when you had a maverick St Louis Fed President, James Bullard (who is a NON-voting member this year, but will have a vote next year) run his mouth this morning saying rate increases would come next year.
Triggering another massive sell-off and further strengthening the DXY.

Then after market close, Minneapolis Federal Reserve President Neel Kashkari (another non-voter) said on Friday he wants to keep the U.S. central bank's benchmark short-term interest rate near zero at least through the end of 2023 to allow the labor market to return to its pre-pandemic strength.

" Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, BofA restrict shorting on GME, adjust their "risk controls". "Institutional investors now face higher collateral reqs" -- June 4, Bloomberg
This is freaking huge.
3 of the biggest prime brokers are pulling the plug on 1) shorting GME and 2) increased collateral requirements.

For those unaware:
- Bank of America is the prime broker for 96% of Citadel’s “activities”.
- BofA recently terminated analyst coverage of GME.
- On June 4, BofA also restricted short positions on GME and increased collateral requirements for existing positions.
- Citigroup, Goldman Sachs did the same.
It's time to take bitcoin way more seriously as an investable asset, says Goldman Sachs.
"Bitcoin is now considered an investable asset. It has its own idiosyncratic risk, partly because it’s still relatively new and going through an adoption phase," said Mathew McDermott, Goldman Sachs' global head of digital assets, in a new piece of research. "And it doesn’t behave as one would intuitively expect relative to other assets given the analogy to digital gold; to date, it’s tended to be more aligned with risk-on assets. But clients and beyond are largely treating it as a new asset class, which is notable—it’s not often that we get to witness the emergence of a new asset class."
Despite Goldman's rubber stamp of approval on bitcoin (BTC-USD) and other cryptocurrencies have traded anything like a typical stock of a credible company or bond in May. In truth, if bitcoin is to be considered a new asset class it has a lot in common with one area in the stock market: often very volatile penny stocks that see wild gyrations on the tiniest bit of news.

Do they know something we don’t? Gary Gensler is an ex-Goldman partner turned politician (sound familiar?). Is there unfavourable regulation coming Ethereum’s way and positive regulation for Bitcoin?
Why are they so openly bullish on Ethereum and bearish on Bitcoin. Are they lying, or are they putting on a poker face? Since when the fuck do we listen to these assholes – even when they have good news?
Edit: They made me my own flair so I'm guessing I'm onto something lmao
So I was just poking around randomly on Google. I found some interesting information that leads me to a retarded ape-like conspiracy.
Short end of it, I think Gamestop was in the process of closing everything down and I think the real estate division were giving Melvin inside information which is why they went so heavy on the shorts to begin with.
Let me explain my thought process. Maybe I'm retarded but you apes help me to see if I'm crazy or autistic.
The real estate connection begins with this PDF document:
CCIM is a commercial real estate group that basically just puts people together in a room and does conferences and shit.
The PDF starts off innocently. Just a thank you note, President's Forward and random ads.
But then it begins to list a directory of members. On Page 46 there's a strange coincidence.
Gamestop's real estate leasing manager, Christopher Morris is listed.
Right underneath is Scott A. Morris of...... Citadel Partners LLC.
I was like holy shit when I saw that and I looked into it and Citadel Partners is a real estate group in Texas, doesn't seem to be a connection to our evil Citadel overlords. Just... a really funny coincidence. Maybe someone wrinklier brained than I can find an actual connection lol
But then I did some other digging and found a random document:
https://cases.primeclerk.com/ascena/Home-DownloadPDF?id1=MTYzODk5Ng==&id2=0
Which is a voting form for Ascena Retail Group's bankruptcy filing.
On page 49 and 50 something jumped out at me:
GOLDMAN SACHS & CO -- F/A/O MELVIN CAPITAL MGMT LP -- ATTN PRIME BROKER ACCOUNT
Idk if it's well known, because I had no idea but apparently Goldman Sachs handles Melvin's accounts.

Goldman Sachs is close to offering its first investment vehicles for bitcoin and other digital assets to clients of its private wealth management group, CNBC has learned exclusively.
The bank aims to begin offering investments in the emerging asset class in the second quarter, according to Mary Rich, who was recently named global head of digital assets for Goldman’s private wealth management division.
″We are working closely with teams across the firm to explore ways to offer thoughtful and appropriate access to the ecosystem for private wealth clients, and that is something we expect to offer in the near term,” Rich said in an interview this week.
Goldman is looking at ultimately offering a “full spectrum” of investments in bitcoin and digital assets, “whether that’s through the physical bitcoin, derivatives or traditional investment vehicles,” she said.
The move means that soon, clients of two of the world’s preeminent investment banks – Goldman and Morgan Stanley – will have access to a nascent asset class that has intrigued billionaires and digital currency believers alike. Earlier this month, Morgan Stanley told its financial advisors that they could place clients into bitcoin funds starting in April, CNBC was first to report.
It is the latest sign of the staying power of blockchain-related assets including bitcoin, a new kind of money that emerged out of the wreckage of the 2008 financial crisis and whose exact origins are still unknown. Until now, big U.S. banks have mostly shunned bitcoin, deeming it too speculative and volatile for clients.
But the industry capitulated after the latest boom in bitcoin’s price. The surge has drawn in institutional investors, corporations and fintech players, and the infrastructure to hold digital assets is continuing to mature. In the end, it was client demand that won out, according to Rich.
“There’s a contingent of clients who are looking to this asset as a hedge against inflation, and the macro backdrop over the past year has certainly played into that,” Rich said. “There are also a large contingent of clients who feel like we’re sitting at the dawn of a new Internet in some ways and are looking for ways to participate in this space.”
Goldman’s private wealth management business mostly targets individuals, families and endowments with at least $25 million to invest.
The bank may offer bitcoin investment funds, similar to those that Morgan Stanley will have, as well as other ways to invest th
