Mutual Funds are often seen as the McDonalds of the investment world. They are ubiquitous and convenient, and yet, they are seen to lack the prestige of a fine dining experience aka Private Equity et al. In this episode, we take on the big question: Are mutual funds only for the salaried middle class, or is there a bigger story here? Deepak and Shray dive deep into the history and perception of mutual funds, from their once-exclusive status to becoming the go-to vehicle for SIPs and forced savings.  But why don't you hear family offices or the ultra-wealthy proudly boasting about their mutual fund holdings? We explore this through the lens of economic class distinctions (India A, B, and C) and unpack how perceptions of exclusivity and quality affect investment choices. Whether you're planning for retirement, your child's education, or just wondering if your portfolio is too “plain vanilla,” this is a conversation that will make you rethink how you view mutual funds. -- 0:00 – Intro 3:29 – Choosing Exclusivity Over Simplicity 7:34 – Volatility Laundering 20:32 – Liquidity in University Endowment Funds 31:49 – Alternative Investments 38:58 – Mutual Funds vs Other Investments 44:12 – Why not hire a personal fund manager? 48:04 – Advantages and Disadvantages of Mutual Funds 1:12:26 – Use cases for Mutual Funds 1:22:41 – Who are Mutual Funds not for? -- More about us: https://cm.social/pms Connect with us : https://cm.social/pms-connect Deepak's Twitter: @deepakshenoy Shray's Twitter: @shraychandra Capitalmind Twitter: @capitalmind_in

[2 Timothy 1:5] I remember your genuine faith, for you share the faith that first filled your grandmother Lois and your mother, Eunice. And I know that same faith continues strong in you.The POWER of the Jesus's resurrection didn't stop at the TOMB.[2 Timothy 3:15] You have been taught the holy Scriptures from childhood, and they have given you the wisdom to receive the salvation that comes by trusting in Christ Jesus.Legacy doesn't just HAPPEN, it's built INTENTIONALLY over time.[Acts 16:1] Paul went first to Derbe and then to Lystra, where there was a young disciple named Timothy. His mother was a Jewish believer, but his father was a Greek.God specializes in turning DISADVANTAGES into ADVANTAGES.You don't need PERFECT conditions to plant eternal SEEDS.[Galatians 6:9] So let's not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't give up.All of us can INVEST in the faith of others.[1Corinthians 3:6-8] I planted the seed in your hearts, and Apollos watered it, but it was God who made it grow. [7] It's not important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What's important is that God makes the seed grow. [8] The one who plants and the one who waters work together with the same purpose. And both will be rewarded for their own hard work. We are all called to PLANT seeds of faith, but God is in charge of making them GROW.[2 Timothy 2:1-2] Timothy, my dear son, be strong through the grace that God gives you in Christ Jesus. [2] You have heard me teach things that have been confirmed by many reliable witnesses. Now teach these truths to other trustworthy people who will be able to pass them on to others.The easiest way to leave a faith legacy is simply to LIVE your faith well.[1 Timothy 4:12] Don't let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.

Fake videos generated using artificial intelligence which show bogus representations of SABC journalists and presenters promoting different projects or seen to be advertising products are still making waves on various social media. The videos are becoming more sophisticated making it hard for unsuspecting individuals to tell if the videos are real. Scammers use AI, to clone the voice of the newsreader of TV personalities to endorse a product. Concerns that these video raise is that the technology can be used to spread disinformation...

What Are Bitcoin Bonds vs. Traditional Bonds? A new twist with crypto #wealth #business #freedomSummary:Bitcoin bonds combine fixed returns with the potential for Bitcoin's growth. By tying a portion of our investment to BTC, investors may decrease our reliance on fiat money. These bonds are experimental, providing potential upside but also increased risk. While traditional bonds provide stability, they do not protect against inflation.At the end of today's talk, we will cover our bonus question: What Are Benefits Of The Economic Booms? The basics of investing should be learned right now.What are Bitcoin Bonds? Although a Bitcoin bond is similar to a conventional bond, there is a twist. We may still lend money in exchange for fixed returns, but now, a portion of our return is dependent on the future performance of Bitcoin.A Bitcoin bond might include a tiny percentage of BTC, such as just 1%, that pays out in Bitcoin when the bond matures, rather than backing the bond entirely with fiat currency like USD. Essentially, it is a hybrid that combines traditional and cryptocurrency elements and can earn interest quickly. To provide some background, the BitBond idea was proposed on Twitter by Brian Estes, CIO of Off the Chain Capital. This is how it operates:A bond with a 0% coupon is issued by the U.S. Treasury, but 1% of its worth is included in Bitcoin and the remaining 99% in USD. If there is considerable demand, the bond will sell for more than its face value. With no debt service, that would provide the government a favorable cash flow. We, the bondholder, receive the Bitcoin kicker along with our principal upon maturity. Ideally, that's how it would operate.What distinguishes Bitcoin bonds from conventional bonds?Bitcoin Bonds are very similar to traditional bonds, with the exception that they include an extra element of BTC mixed with fiat to serve as a kind of collateral intended to counteract inflation and the reduction in dollar purchasing power. This is how it would function: Like in the traditional bond market, our fixed-income investment provides exposure to Bitcoin. We don't rely solely on fiat currency, which depreciates in purchasing power annually. We leverage blockchain transparency rather than the bureaucracy of traditional finance. We take on more risk because Bitcoin's price may fluctuate significantly. Certainly, these things may sound well, but these bonds are not flawless, thus appropriate risk management should be considered. Although a Bitcoin bond has the potential for upside growth, it is a highly unpredictable asset that requires more study, self-control, and a long-term perspective. It truly depends on our individual financial objectives. Staying in the conventional bond market makes more sense if we are playing it safe and simply looking for stability. However, Bitcoin digital bonds give us the chance to accumulate money when fiat currency is continuously devalued. They combine the well-known fixed-income framework with Bitcoin's long-term potential. Holding both is also an option. Maintain conventional bonds for our stability and include Bitcoin bonds as a speculative yet strategic component of our investing portfolio. However, be sure to get expert advice and do our homework on this. Bitcoin bonds have a number of benefits, including: We acquire Bitcoin with a long-term horizon without making an outright purchase. Instead of the typical bond market, we still receive a structured bond product with a maturity date. If there is a lot of demand, governments might sell these bonds for more than their face value, which is beneficial to taxpayers. Advantages of Bitcoin Bonds Blockchain technology provides us with traceability and transparency.Disadvantages of Bitcoin Bonds Bitcoin's extreme volatility may have a negative impact on our overall return. Finish reading the full article here: https://masterinvestor.beehiiv.com/p/what-are-bitcoin-bonds-vs-traditional

In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force, revolutionizing how we interact with technology and the world around us. The integration of AI into various devices and applications is not merely a trend; it signifies a profound shift in our daily lives, as we increasingly rely on AI to bridge the gap between the physical and digital realms. Jiawei Gu, founder of Ling.ai, showcased innovative AI devices designed to enhance user experience and interaction.AI Bridges Physical and Digital WorldsAt the core of this technological evolution is the concept of "physical AI," a term that encapsulates the ability of AI systems to interact with and influence the physical world. Jiawei Gu's demonstration of two of Ling.ai's groundbreaking devices exemplifies this integration. The first device, a personal AI worn around the neck, allows users to engage with various digital agents, including historical figures like Da Vinci and contemporary icons like Elon Musk. This device provides a unique platform for users, particularly children, to explore knowledge and creativity in an interactive manner. By enabling users to "talk" to these digital avatars, the device transforms the way information is accessed and shared, making learning more engaging and accessible.The second device from Ling.ai is Ling, an ambient AI companion designed to read illustrated books to children, further illustrating how AI can enhance everyday experiences. This device not only reads aloud but also interacts with the physical book, flipping pages and responding to user actions. Such functionality demonstrates how AI can seamlessly blend into our daily routines, enriching the experience of storytelling and making it more interactive. By taking on the role of a reading companion, this AI device fosters a deeper connection between children and literature, bridging the gap between traditional reading and digital interactivity.Advantages and Disadvantages of Physical AIOne of the key advantages of these AI devices is their ability to operate in real-time, responding to user input and environmental cues. For instance, the personal AI can generate images based on user prompts, effectively translating thoughts into visual representations. This capability underscores the potential of AI to facilitate creative expression, allowing users to engage with their imagination in ways previously unattainable. The ability of these devices to generate content - whether it be artwork or storytelling - highlights the transformative power of AI in fostering creativity and innovation.Moreover, the reliance on cloud-based computing for these devices raises important questions about connectivity and accessibility. While the integration of cellular technology allows for real-time processing and interaction, it also underscores the challenges posed by network reliability. In the podcast, Gu mentioned that the performance of the devices could be affected by connectivity issues, a reminder that while AI can enhance our experiences, it is still dependent on the underlying infrastructure. This relationship between physical and digital realms emphasizes the importance of a robust technological ecosystem to fully realize the potential of AI.The implications of AI bridging the physical and digital worlds extend beyond personal devices. As AI continues to evolve, its applications are likely to permeate various sectors, including education, healthcare, and entertainment. In education, for example, AI can provide personalized learning experiences, adapting to the needs of individual students and fostering a more inclusive learning environment. In healthcare, AI can assist in diagnostics and patient care, improving outcomes and streamlining processes. The potential for AI to enhance human experiences in diverse contexts is vast, and as technology advances, these possibilities will only expand.Conclusion: Ling.ai Brings an Intriguing Approach to AIIn conclusion, the integration of AI into our daily lives represents a significant leap towards bridging the physical and digital worlds. As demonstrated by Ling.ai's innovative devices, AI has the potential to enhance user experiences, foster creativity, and transform traditional practices. However, the reliance on network connectivity and the challenges that come with it remind us that the journey towards a fully integrated AI-driven future is still unfolding. As we embrace these advancements, it is crucial to remain mindful of the implications and responsibilities that come with such powerful technology, ensuring that it serves to enhance our lives and enrich our interactions with both the physical and digital realms.Interview by Scott Ertz of F5 Live: Refreshing Technology.Sponsored by: Get $5 to protect your credit card information online with Privacy.

It's a partially helpful tool for troubled couples who argue and fail to listen. 2. Hi Dr. Burns, I completed rereading When Panic Attacks yesterday night. I have a question about one of the case examples you mentioned. In the book, you mention a patient that has a phobia of taking public transportation. She did the reimagination exercise of picturing herself castrating the men that harmed her roommate and branded the man that hurt her as a child. If remember right, the book does not link using the "reimagination exercise" to overcoming her fear of taking public transportation. How did the reimagination exercise help her overcome the fear of taking public transportation? I have reread the book two times this year! Thank you, Aaron W. California---LMSW (Idaho) David's reply I am happy to include your question on an upcoming Feeling Good Podcast. Can I use your first name? Thanks! I can answer two of your questions, and can even demonstrate the one-minute drill, and discuss its uses and limitations. Best, david 3. Gray asks about feeling better about post-secondary education Hi David, I struggle with intense anger, frustration, and depression while doing college coursework, with recurring thoughts like, “This is pointless,” “This work is for nobody, ” "I'm just working to work," "I'm being hazed," and “I profoundly don't care!” I'm interested in law school because I'd love being a lawyer, but I worry that I won't be mentally healthy in that environment. Many lawyers say 80+% of law school is irrelevant and doesn't adequately prepare you to practice law or even to pass the Bar, so I expect similar frustrations would resurface. I've looked into this very carefully and I'm convinced that the basic substance of my thoughts has bulletproof empirical grounding (outside of STEM, for sure). How could I manage these distortions when I'm in the midst of law school homework? P.S. I'm quite hostile to appeals about how I would actually learn important things in class or about developing resilience for its own sake, so I'd prefer to avoid that line of thinking unless it's really important. Thank you, Gray David's reply Can you give me an example of one of your negative thoughts. They always contain some truth, by the way. Perhaps you're trapped in a Hidden Should Statement. Are you wanting to feel happy about having to do boring homework, or are you wanting not to have to do boring homework? What's your goal, in other words. All therapeutic failure, just about, is due to a failure of agenda setting. In other words, reducing resistance is the key prior to crushing distortions. Warmly, david There is certainly a great deal of irrelevant stuff one has to plow through to get a college or graduate degree, for sure. So there seems to be a lot of wisdom in your negative thoughts and feelings. I guess my question would be, what type of help, if any, are you looking for? Best, david Gray responds Subject: Re: Feeling better about post-secondary education My hidden should statements are something like "I shouldn't have to do this." and" I should be able to prove myself by doing real work instead". I am hoping to be able to do lots of boring/irrelevant homework and be okay about it, not even necessarily happy. Then I could go to law school and be in passable mental health. Thanks again! Gray David Replies Well, you're right on all counts, including “I shouldn't have to do this.” In fact, you DON'T “have to” do it. And if you do stick with it, there's no rule that says you have to stop whining and complaining! I made the choice of going to medical school and hated it. Worst medical student they had. But I had to complete medical school and psychiatric residency in order to become a psychiatrist. Don't think I learned much of anything in medical school or psychiatric residency that ever really helped any of my patients at that time. But now I have a life I really enjoy, although there are still negatives I have to put up with. Warmly, david One last thing to add. The boring, trivial work does not upset you. Only your distorted thoughts can upset you. The truth in your thoughts is real but does not upset you. You are saying that you SHOULD NOT have to do trivial boring work. Where did you get that idea. Did you think you were entitled to a universe that conforms to your demands? Why should the world be the way you want it to be? There's an irritating voice in your brain that keeps telling you that you should have to do this and you shouldn't have to do that. That voice is your enemy, your source of angst, and not the actual work. So, your first step is to make a decision, perhaps two Cost-Benefit Analyses. The first might be the Advantages and Disadvantages of loudly protesting and insisting it SHOULDN'T be this way. There will be many advantages and a few disadvantages as well. Now balance the Adv against the Dis on a 100 point scale at the bottom, putting the higher number under the column that feels the more desirable or impactful. For example, if the ADV are a lot greater, your two numbers might be 70-30. Then you might do a second CBS listing the Advantages and Disadvantages of ACCEPTING the fact that school often sucks. There may be some advantages and a few disadvantages as well. Now balance the Adv against the Dis on a 100 point scale at the bottom, putting the higher number under the column that feels the more desirable or impactful. For example, if the DIS of acceptance are a lot greater, your two numbers might be 25-75. Send me your two analyses when you're done! If you come to the unlikely decision that acceptance is preferably to shoulding on yourself, there are lots of strategies that might help. But I'd need to know where you stand first, or the methods would be a waste of time. Anger, unlike most negative feelings, is highly addictive, and most people don't want to let go of it. You could also do Positive Reframing of your anger and negative thoughts, which is super powerful, but this is getting a bit long. Best, david David follow-up for podcast audience: As far as I can tell, Gray didn't respond to my email. Sad!

One of the most widely discussed relational dynamics within insecure attachment is the “anxious-avoidant trap,” where individuals with anxious attachment seek closeness and constant reassurance, while those with avoidant attachment push for distance and independence. This dynamic is especially incompatible with monogamy because monogamy requires a level of emotional intimacy and stability that is difficult to maintain in such a polarized attachment relationship.

What's a Give-Get Imbalance? What's the Best Treatment for Anxiety and Dysthymia? Can you do Externalization of Voices on Your Own? The show notes for today's podcast were largely written prior to the show. Tune in to the podcast to hear the discussion of these questions by Rhonda, Matt, and David. And keep the questions coming. We enjoy the exchange of ideas with all of you. Thanks! Suzanna asks: What's a “Give-Get” imbalance? And how can you get over it? Martin asks: What's the best treatment for anxiety and dysthymia? Eoghan (pronounced Owen) asks: Can you do Externalization of Voices on your own?  1. Suzanna asks: What's a “Give-Get” imbalance? And how can you get over it? Description of Suzanna's problem. Suzanna is a woman with a grown daughter with severe brain damage due to a severe brain infection (viral encephalitis) when she was an infant. Suzanna was constantly giving of herself and catering to her daughter. She explains that her daughter can be very demanding and throws tantrums to get her way, and kind of controls the entire home in this way. She can only talk a little and has the vocabulary of about a two-and-a-half-year-old. She can mostly express the things she wants or doesn`t want on a very basic level. She mostly understands what I want from her, but mostly does not want to do what I ask her to do. She can be very stubborn. And I cannot reason with her because she has her own logic and, in her eyes, only her logic is valid. Maybe all a little bit like a two-and-a-half-year-old. Suzanna struggles with negative feelings including guilt, anxiety and depression, because she is constantly giving, giving, giving and feeling exhausted and resentful. And she tells herself, “I should be a better mum.” Can you spot any distortions in this thought? Put your ideas in the text box, or jot them down on a piece of paper, and then I'll share my thinking with you! What are the distortions in the thought, “I should be a better mum”?   There are many distortions in this thought, including All-or-Nothing Thinking, Overgeneralization, Mental Filtering, Discounting the Positive, Magnification and Minimization, Emotional Reasoning, Self-Directed Should Statements, and Self-Blame. There may be one or two more, too! The first step in change nearly always includes dealing with motivation and resistance. Suzanna decided to do a Cost-Benefit Analysis, as you can see below, and a revision of her Self-Defeating Belief, as you can see below. Another helpful step might include “No Practice,” which simply means saying “no” so you don't constantly get trapped by “giving,” as well as “giving in.” A third critically important strategy involves the mom and dad making the decision to work together as a loving team in the management of a troubled child, rather than fighting and arguing with each other, as we've discussed on previous podcasts. However, in many, or possibly most cases, the parents are not willing to do this. They are more concerned about being "right" and so they continue to do battle with each other, as well as the child who needs a more loving structure. David Cost-Benefit Analysis Self-Defeating Belief: I should be a better mum to my daughter Advantages of this belief(How does believing this help me?) Disadvantages of this belief(How does believing this hurt me?) This thought motivates me to: Put myself out. Push myself to give what I have.  Find ways to advance her development.  Find ways to involve her in everyday life. Invest myself into her and her life as much as I can, physically, emotionally and time wise. Try to find ways that my daughter can have a fulfilling life. Try hard to connect to her, her pain, her needs, her sadness and her frustration. Try to make her life as easy as possible. Try my hardest to see her world through her eyes and gain deeper understanding of how she feels. Try to understand what is upsetting her when she throws a tantrum. Stay healthy and fit to have energy for her. Try to make her life rewarding and meaningful. Fulfill my duty as a mum to my daughter who needs my support. I can feel good about myself. I satisfy other people's expectations of me.  Protects me from criticisms from my husband               I am a prisoner to my daughter. No matter how hard I try I don`t seem to make a meaningful difference to her life and to her development. I am a “Siamese Twin” to her. I cannot move or do anything if she doesn`t want to. I reason with my emotions instead of thinking rational at times. I let my daughter get away with “murder”. I find excuses for her behaviour.  I find excuses for her why she cannot behave differently. I beat up on myself when I feel I failed her. I take all responsibilities away from My daughter and make them my own. I blame myself when I cannot motivate her to do something. I blame myself when she is bored and unhappy. I feel guilty doing my own things. I feel guilty when I do not involve her in my activities. I feel guilty when I expect her to do entertain herself for a while.  I cannot live my own life. I cannot be myself at times. She rules my life, and she lives my life. I feel trapped and frustrated.  I feel I need to constantly entertain her. I feel responsible for her happiness. I feel responsible when My daughter is sad and frustrated. I feel exhausted and overwhelmed at times.  I feel unhappy and unfulfilled.           Advantages: 20 Disadvantages: 80  Semantic Method: Re write your personal value I want to be a mum to My daughter and help her along and invest myself into her. But I also want to treat myself the way I treat her. She has a “right” to live a happy and fulfilling life, but so do I. Our needs and desires are equally important and deserve the same attention and care. I can only continue to look after My daughter well if I look after myself too and take myself and my needs and desires as seriously as I do hers. There needs to be a give-get balance so that both of us can be healthy and happy and stay healthy and happy. I want to help her to slowly take new steps into independence and support her lovingly along the way.   2. What's the best treatment for anxiety and dysthymia? Hello Dr. Burns, What method of treatment would you suggest for GAD and dysthymia? 3rd wave CBT, ACT? What is best based on science? Can you recommend some books please? thank you Martin David's Reply My books are listed on my website, FeelingGood.com. They all describe my approach, which is a bit like CBT on steroids. But every patient is treated individually and uniquely, following a structured and systematic approach that facilitates rapid and dramatic change. I don't recommend “methods of treatment” or “schools of therapy” based on so-called “diagnoses,” but treat the individual with TEAM. Every session with every patient is an experiment, with precise measures at the start and end of every session. The new Feeling Great App, now available, gets a mean of 50% or more reductions in seven negative feelings, such as depression, anxiety, and more, in 72 minutes of starting to use the bot. You can check it out for free! Anxiety and depression often co-exist, and the app targets both. My book, When Panic Attacks, describes my approach to anxiety, based on four models of treatment: the Motivational, Cognitive, Exposure, and Hidden Emotion Models. If you use the search function, you can find podcasts describing those models. Also, there's a free anxiety class on this website. Thanks, Martín, for your excellent question! Best, david 3. Can you do Externalization of Voices on your own? Hi David, Long time listener of your great podcast and huge fan of your book Feeling Great. I've often heard you mention that “externalization of voices” is one of, if not the most powerful CBT techniques. I am just wondering if it is still almost as effective when done solo without a therapist i.e. the person takes on both the roles of positive and negative by recording themselves talking or similar? Also, have you any data comparing the efficacy of TEAM CBT work carried out solo using Feeling Great/your podcast as a guide vs. TEAM CBT performed with a trained TEAM therapist? I am very much looking forward to the Feeling Great app launch in the UK as hopefully that will be a much more effective way to do personal work without a therapist. Many thanks, Eoghan (pronounced Owen) David's reply Thank you, Eoghan! Appreciate your support and thoughtful question. I don't have any data on the use of EOV on your own. One could use a recording device, like your cell phone, and record  your negative thoughts in second person, “you,” and try to defeat them when you play them back, one at a time. But in my experience, people nearly always need an experienced role player to do role reversals to show them how to get to a “huge” win. People almost never get a huge win when doing it for the first time, because the therapist (in the role of positive self) can model unfamiliar strategies for the patient. Generally, a hugely successful response involves a combination of self-defense, self-acceptance, and the CAT, or counter-attack technique. And sometimes other methods as well, like Be Specific, for example Radical new learning is definitely the key to success with EOV. Now, thanks to the app, everyone can practice, since we've trained our Obie Bot to role-play with users, do role reversals, give feedback, and so forth. Great question that I will include in the next Ask David if that's okay! We are also exploring the combination of the Feeling Great App plus a trained TEAM therapist from the Feeling Good Institute in Mountain View, California. We are hoping that 1  + 1 may equal 3. Wouldn't that be awesome? What I've found when doing research is that the results are virtually always wildly unexpected! Somethings come out great, and some things come out dismally. I always tell myself that “the Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away!” Seems to be the rule in research! Especially when you're wanting to be guided by the truth, and not so much by your hopes and expectations. Best, David
