Can anyone shed some light on quant funds please? https://groww.in/mutual-funds/escorts-tax-plan-direct-growth
I am seeing stellar returns and extremely low expense ratios but apparently since they're quantitatively managed algorithms, they don't account for things like corona for example.

Now momentum investing is the theme working. So all quant focused mf's, small cases are having time of their life. Risk with momentum investing is to exit at right time. You can go for quant focused funds if you can track them and act as needed. Elss has lock-in period which hampers your flexibility in taking it when momentum themes is not working.
Go for generic quant funds if you want to ride the present momentum theme. Go with established names like axis long term equity for elss

Well said. First of all there is no guarantee in stock markets that what has worked in the past will continue to work (except index probably which just mimics overall country's performance in general). We are in super bill zone where every Tom Dick and Harry stock is hitting UCs so you got to know how these quant funds will do when markets start to tank. If you are capable to cut at the right moment then for sure ride the tide.

I am selling house and remodeling both master bath and kids bath. Got quote for 29k for both and I buy floors and cabinets.question is I have a very big whirlpool tub and tiles around it discolored. It’s a hassle to lift it up change the tiles and fixtures and put it back. It’s old but works great. Remodeling ppl recommend get rid of it, give space to buyers if they want to buy standalone tub. I thought it adds value to have whirlpool tub. But can’t even change fixture. Should I get rid of it?

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.
