Sorry but I am a bit naive here but when Apple asks a company to manufacture a part , do they also enlist the steps in the machining process that goes in to manufacture that part

Or

Do they just give a finished sample to the factory and ask them to figure it out on how to manufacture this part.

If it is former, then is this Indian company skipping some steps in the manufacturing process?

For starters, open a brokerage account at a broker that provides an API. There are many currently available including Ally, Tradier, Alpaca, Think or Swim, Interactive Brokers etc. Although, I think Think or Swim is currently not providing new keys due to their merger with Schwab.

Once you got that part setup, try to write a simple program that buys or sells an equity from the command line .

From their own you can start exploring trading algorithms. Some are pretty basic, like when the price crosses above a 200 DMA, then buy a stock as that usually signifies an upward run, while selling if the price falls below the 200DMA as that is bearish.

Then you can read some books on price action, fundamental or technical analysis and build your own algos.

TLDR - by using tax loss harvesting . At the end of the year, sell your stocks which are down and then buy them back. Then you can use the losses to offset the gains. Although this is also available to masses .

I think Java is a solid choice for a data heavy application in 2023. As many have mentioned spring boot is a man excellent choice for the Java backend . You should also take a look at JHipster. It combines the strengths of Java with a modern front end like React or Vue or anything else of your choice to make a modern front end .

How was the cab experience in general in Spain before the influx of Uber and other tide sharing services.

Was it like the you could fail a can and it would take you where you wanted to go for a reasonable fare or would cabbie in general cancel rides, ask for more fare than the allowable maximum etc.

Many nation states do not have freedom of speech and have laws that content can be taken down if it is considered bad - and the definition of bad is always changing based on the current ruling party.

Thus, they might have just the threatened YouTube with domain level blocking if laws of the land are not followed.

Also I am not sure, why the ruling party is so uppity about this documentary. It doesn’t even show Modi in too much of a bad light. Basically just shows that he was incompetent in stopping riots.

Also not sure, but does the BBC have an agenda with releasing this documentary now on an event that happened around two decades back.

IBM of today is way past a company that advanced computing. It is a body shop and an American company in name only. Most of their revenue comes from GBS which is basically an offshoring division.

This is something that is well known to Indian investors that most of Adani companies are vaporware that basically have no revenue and trade for price to sales ratio much higher than other companies.

However this guy and his family members are pretty well connected and would be fine as long as Modi is India’s PM. In fact it is even stated that this guy is basically a kingmaker as his massive inflated fortune funds the political contributions to the ruling BJP party.
