 SINGAPORE Ladies and Gentleman, today we will read out the story of a man (Our Hero) who turned the small island of Singapore from a slum colony to one of the richest nations in the world.  From our first part we knew, in 1965 Singapore was already facing an economic crisis and apart from that they had no natural resources, no population advantage, no industries,very less factories and most importantly their biggest employer, that is, the British Army was planning to leave which was about to wipe out 20% of their GDP. BASICALLY, EVERY POSSIBLE OBSTACLE THAT YOU CAN THINK ABOUT TO PULL THE COUNTRY DOWN TO EXTREME POVERTY WAS BEING FACED BY SINGAPORE. So the question is:- Who is this Leader? What was his strategy?

Published on October 22.10.2022 The day was Friday before Diwali. I walked into my familiar retail banking branch. Aghast to find that the Manager (Accounts) was swarmed by a host of clientele. I thought at 3p.m, the Manager would have some leisure. She did not have even her lunch by that hour. The reasons: In a sparsely staffed branch, three employees were on leave; the Branch Manager went on leave for writing an examination. There were at least fifty KYCs of new accounts on her table to key in and approve. Across the counter, the patient customers, understanding her position, exhibited no hurry. The requests ranged from non-responding ATM, YONO, to repayment of retail loans, to irregularities in them to set right and approve, opening the SD Locker, and a pensioner like me requesting for the new ID card. Enhanced Access and Service Excellence (EASE), fifth edition promises a focus on driving an enhanced digital experience along with data-driven, integrated inclusive banking across all...

Stocks to Avoid From Which Sectors

 STOCKS AVOID 1)The Utility Sectors 2) Commodities Sector 3) Public Sector 4) Business To Government Now Understand one by one below- UTILITY SECTOR Utility means the things which are used regularly by everybody like water, air, electricity, internet, mobile, Oil. Without these things in todays world no one can live. So if prices get increased, the inflation will also rise for which common will suffer. In this case government will come to the rescue and will cap the price of these things. So as a investor even though i know data consumption is getting increased i will avoid such companies of Telecom, Power sector.  COMMODITIES SECTOR Companies which produce and market  Mineral, Metal, Mines, Oil companies don't have much pricing power. They are having capital intensive companies. Take into consideration of cement companies they can not sell a bag of cement at Rs 500 when others are selling in Rs 355. So they have to sell at around Rs 355 to Rs 360. Also for example all oi...
