Investing in troubled times

Since we are navigating tricky waves in the stock markets , a safe bet is to invest in stocks that provide decent dividend yields and where you are in no hurry to sell out .

From an evolutionary perspective, it has been important for us to prioritize negative stimuli (threats such as predators) over positive stimuli (enjoying the warmth of a summer’s day).

To counterbalance this tendency, we can adopt a bias towards the positive as we consume news. In practical terms, this means seeking positive news stories to balance out our experience of staying updated.

Today I am proposing stocks from the petroleum companies in India. These companies refine petroleum pretty efficiently , and also sell lpg and other value added products.

IOC indulges in many national building activities too and focuses on CSR. They are also venturing aggresively into the EV space.

These companies are subject to vagaries in the international crude prices and also the downslide of our currency . However they have also stayed put over the years and you will be impressed by their historic performance.

The dividend yields are all in double digits and presently they are available at a steal and you can fetch handsome returns.

I have made a brief analysis in the video below on the yields and hope you find the same useful .

Spirits of Estonia

http://www.inyourpocket.com/estonia/tallinn/Spirits-of-Estonia_56060f 1 For some of our readers, vodka might just be some colorless liquid that tastes like rubbing alcohol but goes great mixed in a cocktail. In Estonia however, hard liquor is pretty serious stuff. Spirits can be made from many raw materials including grapes, potato, and grain.

Next this product is distilled creating a much stronger alcohol. Finally the impurities are filtered off, and water is added to bring the percentage from about 96 to about 40.And that is how you make vodka! Of course there is much to be said about quality and it certainly varies from brand to brand.
