Any such place you go to that doesn’t have a dress code doesn’t deserve your consideration re not wearing shorts.
Pakistani middle-class men discovered shorts and apparently forgot trousers exist. If you're going to a restaurant, café, or any shared public space, have a little respect for the setting. You're part of the atmosphere everyone else is paying to enjoy. Dress appropriately ffs

Is HMB’s “upgraded” online banking torturing anyone else? Their stock should not be allowed to trade above 0.2x book for how shit a service they offer.

Seems wild but despite the rally in PSX over the last 3 years, the market doesn’t give any of the euphoric feels that were there in 2018 or even post covid highs.

Show me a guy who tells you not to invest in equities because they’re risky and I’ll show you a guy who’s missed the biggest bull run in global history.

Ex. Leverage, no one has ever said this and been right.
PSX is going to bankrupt lots of young retail investors. If you’re new to the market please don’t put anything above 5 percent of your disposable income into stocks at current levels. It’s okay to save slowly. Resist the FOMO.

I think it’s behaved as rationally, if not more so, than most mature markets out there.
Psx is an immature market. Bad events can easily create fear among investors and a good event can attract large crowd.

All I ask for is one tweet from ARN highlighting the bitcoin crash and how speculative assets have no intrinsic value. Just one. So far just waiting for this ultimate contra before buying the shit out of it.

IMO PSX will or should acquire LSEVL’s stake in NCCPL and CDC via a share swap deal. One issue is that Aftab would probably bust the ownership restrictions in PSX so the regulator would have to waive that perhaps.
CEO is chasing his own stock higher📈 New disclosure Aftab Ahmad just bought another 100,000 shares. When an insider aggressively hoovers up liquidity from the open market and pays more for it, they know the upcoming catalysts make the current price look like absolute pennies🔥

PSX could also just use cash or stock and cash to avoid complications.

A toast to panic mongers and buy high sell low PSX participants who emptied their bags at 150k index and are going to chase this into 200k. Thank you for your attention this matter.

Translation for lay folks: I sold the levered positions I took at 150k index. Only have delivery holdings now which means still 100% invested.

Anyone who has been through a market cycle knows that you need a massive net worth to give up your day job. I know folks worth 50cr that still work jobs because they know you need a huge cushion to not be a forced seller during bear or flat markets.

Never go full retard son.
I always ask myself this question: What is better: A Rs5 lakh salary, or a Rs2 crore net worth that earns passive income? Most people measure financial success by income. The wealthy measure it by ownership. A salary matters. It pays the bills. It creates stability. But a salary alone does not create freedom. Because every month, I will have to start at zero again. Ownership works differently. A business earns while you sleep. A dividend arrives whether you worked that month or not. A portfolio compounds without asking for more hours from your day. This is why you should aim to Invest 10-30% of your income. Income improves your lifestyle. Ownership changes your future. So what is better in your opinion, a Rs5 Lakh salary or Rs2 Crore savings? Please share in the comments.

The average person can count on going broke pretty quickly with a 2cr net worth without that 5l salary.

This chappy took Pakistan for a ride on crypto and now AI! Playing a role requires skilled manpower where is that?
Speaking at the Point Zero Forum in Zurich, Bilal Bin Saqib says AI won't just assist humans—it will act, negotiate, and make decisions. He believes this is Pakistan's opportunity to leapfrog and become a creator of the next generation of intelligent systems @Bilalbinsaqib

Whatever the case is with this guy Arsalan, there’s a clear way residency is determined and technology tells you how many days you were in country versus out. This kind of action from FBR, which already has credibility concerns, just absolutely destroys confidence.

Lloyd Blankfein, former CEO of Goldman Sachs, broke down his entire personal trading setup: portfolio: 98% risky assets. 75-90% single stocks. mostly big tech hyperscalers plus "second tier" names slightly below blue chip. "i invest in risky assets. that's what's fun for me." "do you have a team? oh, just me." hardware: no computer. an iPad and a phone. information source: texting and calling people. "somebody will text me. i'll text them. then i'll get tired of tapping things out because of my fat fingers. so i just call people up." frequency: trades every single day. multiple times. "it's taking a lot of discipline not to look at my screen while i'm talking to you right now." "some people listen to music. to me, the market is like music. it's out there. it's going on." has he outperformed the market? "yes, i have for a while. it's because of where i focused, tech, energy, and financial services. i know a lot about financial services having been in financial services." the former CEO of Goldman Sachs. manages his own money. on an iPad. alone. focused on three sectors he actually knows. and beats the market. sometimes the edge isn't the model. it's 40 years of pattern recognition and a phone full of the right contacts.

Know your contras well. They are an asset.
I guess it’s time to lever up on Pak equities again. Contra-indicators flashing hard
