I spent around 20 minutes crashing into hulls before I managed to dock my ship. I overshot my destinations in space more times than I care to count. I spent five minutes blasting space barrels without even being sure if I was doing it right. And that was just the tutorial. In the actual game, Elite: Dangerous offers a massive galaxy with around 400 billion stars, all bursting with dogfights, piracy, trading opportunities, and undiscovered planets — not to mention light years of dull nothingness.

Last week, we had placed two bets going into the shortened week. That upside would be limited to 23580-680 in Nifty and that there would be a mean reversion move. While the former turned to be spot on to the dot, the mean reversion expectations failed to mature fully, despite several attempts to head lower.
Reasons could be several, including the shortened nature of the week, as well as low VIX. What we are keen on pondering is how they are likely to shape the fate of the next week. VIX, which had been on a steep fall since the electoral outcome, rose in a couple of days, but the rise was too feeble to expand trading ranges.

By admin • January 13, 2025 • The new asset class proposed by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) is expected to bring innovative investment products and styles in the market, but could also encourage some investors to move from existing high-risk products like portfolio management services (PMS) and alternative investment funds (AIFs).
In comparison to mutual funds starting at Rs 100 and PMS at Rs 50 lakh, the new asset class, which targets investors with higher risk appetite with a minimum investment of Rs 10 lakh, can provide them with the higher alpha that many seek. “PMS/AIF may get disadvantaged if it causes cannibalisation of their AUM in favour of the new asset class from large, moneyed investors (i.e. their target clients),” said Ruchir Kapoor, managing director at Merisis Wea…
