Since the last month, I have been planning for my open learning schedule of the first domain, which will consist of financial markets and personal finance in the field of finance.
“Fall in love with some activity, and do it! Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn’t matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough. Work as hard and as much as you want to on the things you like to do the best. Don’t think about what you want to be, but what you want to do. Keep up some kind of a minimum with other things so that society doesn’t stop you from doing anything at all”. – Richard Feynman
“I don’t know what’s the matter with people: they don’t learn by understanding, they learn by some other way — by rote or something. Their knowledge is so fragile!” – Richard Feynman
I love and Respect American Physicist Richard Feynman.
I decided to start absolutely from the beginning as the foundations are the key to efficient learning.
Yes, absolutely, from the basics :
So In a financial year :
Indian Companies have to declare their quarterly results four times a year.
1st Quarter = On 1st week of July
2nd Quarter = On 1st week of October
3rd Quarter = On 1st week of January
4th Quarter = On 1st week of April
I will act myself as a company and my job is to learn and educate myself with a self paced learning methodology.
So my learning domains will be based on these dates:
Starting from the 2nd quarter, as today is the 7th of July, 2023.
This quarter I will only be dealing with the Finance Domain.
In 1st week of October, I will be sharing all my payoffs in that learning quarter, the projects, and as well as the iteration process.
The vision of learning financial markets and personal finance is simply to learn about the reality that we all have to deal with, and that is MONEY.
MONEY, WEALTH, AND FREEDOM with Financial Literacy.
Understanding businesses,
Business cycles,
Diving into economics,
Diving into commodity, currency, equity and debt markets,
Finding companies for investing,
Finding stocks for positional trading,
Derivatives,
insurance and mutual funds,
Investment philosophies,
Valuing businesses and assets,
and Understanding the World, how money works, and how it functions.
These are all my obsessions to learn with curiosity and sincerity.
