I have accepted Infosys Offer Letter . If I am not joining Infy and joins another company, then is there anything like Infosys remembers it and will not consider in its Future Opportunities saying "You previously Didnt join our Organisation after accepting Offer Letter , So we are not considering your profile ahead " (Something like blacklist).
Has anybody accepted Infy Offer Letter and Have not joined ...and later got another Offer from Infy after say 6 months or 1 year and then Joined Infy ?
How’s everyone holding up?

I’ll take a crack at it D1. The main gripe with the above article is that the 20 year return of the S&P 500 is only 4.5%, but he is very conveniently assuming you dumped ALL of your money into the S&P 500 right before the dot com bubble burst. Yes, that is technically the 20 year return, but a more realistic investment approach is you are putting some of your money into the stock market each year (not a one-time lump sum). This would have allowed you to benefit from the bull run leading up to the dot com bubble, as well as benefit from the discount prices following the crash (as well as the one in ‘08).
So unless you plan on a one-time deposit into the S&P 500, the following will likely continue to hold true:
1. Time in the market beats timing the market
2. You can expect greater than a 4.5% weighted return over a long time horizon
3. You are better off riding the market than trying to beat it
Just avoid this one
I’m ashamed to say this was one of the first investment books I read 😭
The Best Little Book That (Still) Beats the Market.
Easy read. Great education. Good method. Branch out after the basic education
Google Jack Bogle, read everything he preaches
Venmo me and I’ll invest it for you 🙃
The intelligent investor is one of the most famous books on investing. For good reason, it’s been 70 years since it was first published and the strategy behind investing has never changed. Combine that with some study on broad market ETFs and you should be good to go. Or keep it simple - put 70% into a total US market ETF and 30% into total world ETF and forget it. (Example 70% in ITOT and 30% IXUS). Can also play around adding 10% to emerging markets or small cap ETFs. The key is long term investing, diversification, and not trying to time the market.
Get “Stock Market for Dummies.” That’s what my husband and I did. It was great to understand the basics. 😁
