^^^^2026-02-23

* **Indian salaries are genuinely low:**
* Median annual salary ≈ **₹3.6–4.2 lakh**.
* Urban rent + food inflation have grown faster than wages for years.
* **India under-invests in innovation:**
* R&D spending: **<1% of GDP** (India) vs **3.4% (US)** and **2.4% (China)**.
* Low innovation → low productivity → low wages.
* **SIP is not a scam:**
* SIP is *just* a monthly buying method (rupee‑cost averaging).
* Used worldwide in US, UK, Canada, Japan.
* **Long-term returns contradict the “SIP is useless” claim:**
* NIFTY 50: **\~12–13% CAGR over 20+ years**.
* Gold: **\~8–9% CAGR** over long periods (with strong cycles).
* Neither always wins → **diversify**, don’t max bet.
* **Corporate criticisms are valid, but unrelated to SIP:**
* Many Indian firms hoard cash instead of investing in capex/R&D.
* Fresher wages remain stagnant despite rising valuations.
* Promoter-worker salary ratios are heavily skewed.
* **But:** SIP trades happen in the **secondary market**, so promoters don’t get your SIP money.
* **Buffett avoiding India ≠ “India bad”:**
* His issue is **regulatory complexity**, not the IQ of Indians.
* Berkshire rarely invests outside the US anyway.
* Meanwhile, global giants like **BlackRock, Vanguard, GQG** invest billions in India.
* **The real systemic problems:**
* Low wages
* Weak R&D spending
* Corruption + judicial delay
* Poor state capacity
* Crony capitalism
* Lack of social welfare
* **What young earners should actually do:**
* Diversify: India equity + S&P500 + Gold + Fixed income.
* Invest aggressively in skills.
* Don’t fall for extreme narratives (“India is heaven” vs “India is hopeless”).
* **Bottom line:**
* The anger is justified.
* The economic system is flawed.
* But **SIP isn’t the cause of low salaries,** it’s one of the few tools ordinary workers have for long‑term wealth.

another AI slop output:
LOL
(AI = the biggest scam on earth, a random word guessing generator, ask them the same question again and again and you get millions of different answers. )
Despite the massive backlog, Fluence continues to struggle with consistent bottom-line performance.**Wider-than-Expected Losses:** In Q1 2026 (reported Feb 2026), Fluence posted a net loss of approximately **$62.6 million**, wider than the $57 million loss in the same period last year.
* **The "Profitability Seesaw":** Analysts have noted an "awkward" swing from a profit in late 2025 back to a loss in early 2026. This volatility makes it difficult for institutional investors to trust the long-term earnings ramp.
* **Cash Burn:** While liquidity is currently adequate (\~$1.1 billion), the company is expected to continue burning cash through much of 2026 to fund its domestic manufacturing shift.
Fluence is caught between a high-end brand leader and low-cost manufacturers.
* **Cost Efficiency vs. Tesla:** Tesla’s **Megapack** is often cited as more cost-effective due to Tesla's massive vertical integration and "plug-and-play" deployment speed.
* **Aggressive Chinese Competition:** Companies like **Sungrow** and **Huawei** are dominating the global market with budget-friendly, scalable systems. Sungrow’s "PowerTitan" platform is a direct threat to Fluence’s Gridstack, often offering lower prices that pressure Fluence's margins.
* **Software Usability:** While Fluence IQ is powerful, some industry reviews suggest it has a steeper learning curve and less intuitive interface compared to Tesla’s **Autobidder** platform.
tariff exposure:
new 2026 FEOC regulations could increase their costs
policy volatility: the subsidies from the IRA (which fluence calls its biggest tailwind) could be scaled back or challanged

accounting and legal cloud:
SEC Investigation and class action:
there has been an ongoing cloud regarding "aggressive accounting" and an SEC inquiry into how they report their backlog....

AI agents doing everything, companies don’t need employee, defaults on mortgages, 50-60% stock crash and people here buying calls, shows the average IQ here

All about Liquidity and money flow patterns here... unfortunately society and lower IQ individuals move in crowds. Money has been outflowing and chasing into anything new and shiny. Right now it's south korea exposure, memory RAM producers, precious metals and believe it or not (DYOR) Pokemon cards. Look at the charts

SCOTUS is low IQ from the standpoint of tarriff.

If only his IQ could go up 10%

Obviously I didn't mean you personally - only an idiot would think that since I don't know you and have never met you... there I edited the post so people with double-digit IQ's can now understand it.

Bahahahaha amazing back pedal. You’re really a great clown.
Wait till the 40 IQ figures out that only barely above the poverty line wage slaves work hourly and make so little money per hour that they make overtime pay.

The avg IQ worldwide is 85. This explains why everyday when I leave my house i have to deal with retards

Haha wot a joker. You blamed the hra paying salaried tax payers, while you are also one of them? You should get your IQ tested, will make some sort of record in terms of lowest percentile.

I'm up 1000% on the majority of my shares. Stay mad. I was just highlighting that your logic betrayed your IQ score - don't get butthurt.

Bro, you're right that Indian markets are expensive. The Nifty 50 often trades at a premium compared to other emerging markets.
Starting salaries for Indian IT services (TCS/Wipro/Infosys) have barely budged in 15 years, while inflation has decimated purchasing power. It is true that on ₹25,000/month in a Tier-1 city, after rent and transport, high-quality nutrition, protein/clean water, becomes a luxury.
I agree, India’s market is heavy on Banks, IT Services (not on R&D), and FMCG. We lack the "Big Tech" innovation seen in the Nasdaq.
However, one thing I didn't like in your argument is Warren Buffett investment in India. He has invested in India (Paytm, which was a disaster, and indirectly through subsidiaries). However, he avoids India mostly because of size and entry barriers, not just "IQ" or "protein" deficiency.
2nd thing, saying "SIP is a scam" is like saying "buying groceries weekly is a scam." An SIP is just automated buying, not a product by itself. While AMC fees exist, Indian Direct Mutual Funds have expense ratios as low as 0.1% to 0.2%. The "SIP uncles" aren't getting rich off your ₹5,000 index fund SIP; they get rich off high-commission LIC policies or actively managed funds with 2.5% loads.
What I take away from your post is, don't be "India-biased." If you feel Indian companies are overvalued and non-innovative, use an SIP to buy the Nasdaq 100 or S&P 500 instead. Use the tool to buy better assets, but don't stop investing in your early age.

I am not angry. I’m laughing at the 40 IQ pretending they have a business where they pay themselves overtime. You’re an amazing clown and completely clueless.

Stop buying shitty stock tips you get from glue sniffing sub 90 IQ people. Start buying ETF’s one that follows the ASX200, like A200 by Betashare, then a foreign market ETF like BGBL, also by Betashare.

LOW IQ association. It is like when dumbass still make "regard" WHEN YOU CLEARLY CAN SAY RETARD IN THIS SUB.

Your IQ seems below average so I’ll stop this conversation now

I disagree I don't think it's about capabilities or IQ because anybody can learn how to trade, if given the right info, however, you do need patience and patience is a virtue and obviously not all people are virtuous and/or maybe got different virtues and not patience and that's the main thing you need to learn a skill on your own, meaning not a school/the traditional way.
