‘Sup with the market
September saw a solid run in the Indian stock market, thanks to strong liquidity inflows from both domestic institutional investors (DIIs) and foreign institutional investors (FIIs) 📈. But October has been a bit of a snooze, just as predicted, with a shift in market dynamics and lots of festival days adding to the lull 🎉.
DO NOT PANIC SELL/BUY, please! Market corrections like this are no big deal if you're in it for the long haul 📊.
On the bright side, here’s something to cheer you up! India has overtaken China in the MSCI ACWI. This index nicknamed the ‘investable’ MSCI ACWI, tracks 85% of global companies' free-floating shares. India’s new spot at 6th place, with 2.33% of the index, is because of share sales and rising liquidity. So, every cloud has a silver lining, cheer up! 🤩
Misspelt Name On Air Tickets Could Cost You!
You’re preparing for that dream December holiday, all bags packed and excitement through the roof, only to find out at check-in that a tiny mistake in your ticket is about to derail your plans...👀 If you’re among those planning to fly ✈️, ensure that your name on the ticket matches your government-issued photo ID. Even a slight difference, like a misspelling or missing initial, can lead to denied boarding 🚫.
But don’t worry, if you spot a typo, there are ways to fix it without canceling your ticket. Here’s what you need to know:
Minor Errors Are Fixable 🔧

🔖 Binge of the month
I recently binge-watched Lincoln Lawyer and while the third season is so much better than the second, refined acting could've made it incredible. I'd say there's a 50-50 chance that you may like the series, This show is heartfelt and serious, so it's overall a good watch if you're just about getting started with the genre. I also happened to watch (no judgment here, please) Singham 3! The first half was meh but the second was watchable, that’s all I’d say.
