style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Investing has always been known to reach our financial goals. It is to improve our lifestyle and to improve our standard of living to the ones we actually deserve. <\/strong>Investing isn\u2019t any new term that came out to be in fame in recent times. We always have known various concepts of investing and people have made fortunes out of their investments.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But, can everyone become an investor? Is investing easy we have come across many manuals by the name \u2018investing for dummies. Is it possible to be a professional investor without any qualification degree? We have known individuals making millions and billions worth of fortune by investing. But, is it really possible for each and every one of us?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">World-renowned scientist <strong>Sir. Isaac Newton<\/strong> was one of the smartest people to ever live. And, here\u2019s how history tells us about <strong>\u2018the smart people being dumb\u2019<\/strong>. Wherein, it is evident that making money in the stock market requires a different sense of smartness. Something that\u2019s more psychological than intellectual.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/upstox.com\/open-account\/?f=FN1853\" style=\"border-radius:50px;color:#0f0027;background-color:#e4fa00\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>Open Upstox Account Now!<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;<strong>Back in the spring of 1720<\/strong>, Sir Isaac Newton owned shares in <strong>the South Sea Company<\/strong>, the hottest stock in England. Sensing that the market was getting out of hand, the great physicist muttered that he &#8216;<\/span><b>could calculate the motions of the heavenly bodies, but not the madness of the people<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.&#8217; <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Newton dumped his South Sea shares, pocketing a 100% profit totaling \u00a37,000. But just months later, swept up in the wild enthusiasm of the market, Newton jumped back in at a much higher price &#8211; and lost \u00a320,000 (or more than 42 crore rupees in today&#8217;s money. For the rest of his life, he forbade anyone to speak the words &#8216;South Sea&#8217; in his presence.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"248\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/rakshithpai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Share-chart-of-the-South-Sea-Company-248x300.png\" alt=\"Newton mistake\" class=\"wp-image-1641\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rakshithpai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Share-chart-of-the-South-Sea-Company-248x300.png 248w, https:\/\/rakshithpai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Share-chart-of-the-South-Sea-Company.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 248px) 100vw, 248px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><b>Image source:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:South-sea-bubble-chart.png\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wikimedia Commons<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When guys like Sir. Newton makes mistakes in investing. We are far from perfect. <strong>In fact, it\u2019s fine for us to make mistakes. But, what matters is what it cost us.<\/strong> I believe that\u2019s the biggest reason people don\u2019t invest in the stock market.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, how to avoid making mistakes? By the end of this article, you\u2019ll get the answer.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People aren\u2019t aware of the risk-return perspective and hence get burned out. <strong>Risk isn\u2019t something to be feared of. In fact, it\u2019s something to deal with, and the first thing to understand is that it is a part of investing.<\/strong> You cannot nullify the risk entirely. Risk is always present.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I believe. <strong>\u201cNot investing is the biggest risk one ever takes\u201d<\/strong>. You got to take some level of risk to succeed. <strong>It\u2019s the uncalculated risk that\u2019s harmful to your wealth.<\/strong> To eliminate unnecessary risk and take only calculated risk is called intelligent risk. The trick is to be aware of what you do. Learn, unlearn, relearn, and then earn.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You shouldn&#8217;t be worried about losing invested capital more than the purchasing power lost in your savings account. <strong>Inflation is like cancer eating our savings from the inside.<\/strong> Know how the system works and you\u2019ll never see the banking &amp; financial institution the same.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anyways, we invest in various asset classes (such as equities, precious metals, real estate, etc) to reach the required financial freedom we desire for. It gives us a sense of security in this uncertain world. One that assists us to reach our financial goals. Especially when our savings don\u2019t even remotely help us reach the milestone to achieve retirement.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, due to the COVID pandemic and the aftermath of the economic disaster (expected). The interest rates over savings deposits are around its all-time low at 2-2.5% and the inflation rate is hovering above 6%. <strong>Invest not to create wealth. It\u2019s more like investing to preserve wealth.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I hope I\u2019m persuading you well enough that investing is the only way. But, before you start your investing career, answer some questions, and know yourself in regards to what type of investor you really are.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Kind_of_Investor_Are_You\"><\/span><b>What Kind of Investor Are You?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Investing is taking a calculated risk and a decent return that helps us reach financial freedom.<\/strong> And, in this process, an <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">investor chooses to be a certain kind for it is in our very nature to lean towards one that satisfies our interest. Either by our risk appetite, time horizon, knowledge level, and interest to learn new concepts. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An investor brackets himself into either of the below-mentioned three (3) categories. The three major types of investors are;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Active_Investor\"><\/span><b>1. Active Investor<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the word suggests, <strong>active investing demands an investor to be more active in his portfolio management.<\/strong> He\/she must be a qualified financial analyst (or knowledgeable enough) to handle the market condition and invest accordingly. He\/she is a professional investor, who must look into quantitative and qualitative aspects of the company, sector, economic conditions, and other aspects before investing. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If investing is really your passion. Then, this is where you are supposed to be. Active investing takes a good amount of your life into learning stuff. But, it\u2019s all worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Passive_Investor\"><\/span><b style=\"font-style: inherit;\">2. Passive Investor<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Passive investing is usually a subtle way of investing.<\/strong> Here the investor tends to spread out his\/her portfolio into various mutual funds and index funds to avoid active participation whilst creating optimum wealth by letting professionals (Active-Investors) handle his\/her portfolio for a marginal fee.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If investing is not your cup of tea. If you are not able to devote the required time to investing activities but are aware of the importance of investing on the way to wealth creation. <strong>Then, you are suggested to take professional help. Let the known individuals do what they do the best.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Active-Passive_Investor\"><\/span><b>3. Active-Passive Investor<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A combination of Active and Passive investing. Here, you\u2019ll not only invest by yourselves but also take assistance from Mutual Fund, ETFs, and other passive investing asset vehicles for wealth creation. <strong>This mode of investing is taking real interest amongst the Millennials and the next generations.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A safe mode of investing wherein, we\u2019ll get to learn throughout the way in the process. And, with relatively minimal risk for a segment of your portfolio is being handled by professionals via Mutual funds, various ETFs, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, before moving further, first decide what kind of investor you really are. Decide what amount of work you are ready to put in. Because <strong>investing by yourself takes a major chunk of your time.<\/strong> It demands an investor to be flexible in learning new concepts and be active enough to adapt to the constantly changing business environment.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_you_have_what_it_takes_to_be_an_investor\"><\/span><b>Do you have what it takes to be an investor?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned above, <strong>Being a passive investor is to let professionals manage our funds.<\/strong> But, to become a professional investors ourselves. We need to possess certain skills and basic behavioral tactics that are essential.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Investing has always been termed risky for it requires an individual to be more mature than they usually portray.<\/strong> When we say mature, it is to be mature as in being more rational in decision making. One\u2019s decision over emotions has no stand in the market. <strong>The stock market is a pure valuation game (In the long term) and an emotional holocaust (In the short term).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, find out whether you really are an investor or not. This is most crucial for it defines whether you will succeed in the future as an investor. Now, to decide whether you are actually an investor. Here\u2019s a checklist that\u2019s a must to be a successful Investor.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-2 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/upstox.com\/open-account\/?f=FN1853\" style=\"border-radius:50px;color:#0f0027;background-color:#e4fa00\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>Open Upstox Account Now!<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Emotional_discipline\"><\/span><b>Emotional discipline<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To be a mature investor is all about controlling or not letting our emotions take control of our decisions. It is to avoid being emotional and to make rational decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Example:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> During the <strong>2008 crash<\/strong>, we had a market sell-off from its peak, and then the NIFTY dropped from 6000 points in 2008 to below 2500 points by 2009. And, a more recent example of the<strong> Feb-March 2020 crash<\/strong> was mainly based due to Covid-19 where people panicked and the market started dropping over 10% in a single day resulting in the stoppage of trading sessions.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong> But, now you see after 6-9 months, the market is as if nothing had ever happened.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today (1st week of December 2020) the market is at its all-time high. Had we known this outcome, none would have sold back in March. Those with emotional discipline made money. In all this situation, the market corrects and worse crashes. But, <strong>those that stay invested in healthy companies become wealthy.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Be_a_%E2%80%98TMN\"><\/span><b>Be a \u2018TMN\u2019<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A \u2018Touch Me Not\u2019 (TMN) plant doesn\u2019t let itself touch, and when actually touched by a foreign body, it retrieves itself. Here, <strong>an investor should retrieve himself for those sectors that are not his\/her cup of tea.<\/strong> He\/she should avoid reaching out to every other business there is and rather stick to those business aspects that he\/she is comfortable with.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Having a perspective is very important.<\/strong> We take or tend to take professional advice for every aspect of our life (Dental, Contractor, etc). But, when it comes to investing, \u201cThe Greed\u201d kicks in, and instead of being conservative over the ill source of advice. We jump in and invest our entire savings. If an investor has a perspective. He\/she will start questioning. Thus, the chances of not going all-in on an unknown company can be reduced.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Avoid_tips_and_calls\"><\/span><b>Avoid tips and calls<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Investors all over the world have fallen for this scam where individuals&#8217; tips or stock calls are being taken seriously and ultimately the investor loses his money. This has been done over and over again for it is in basic human nature to fall for such recommendations especially when they offer or seem to offer benefit. Here an individual\u2019s \u201cgreed\u201d takes over. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Not being an emotionally disciplined investor is costly.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Example:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you are an investor or a trader, try telling that to your family and friends and be sure to face two situations.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All your people will start asking you for stock tips and suggestions.

In most cases, they\u2019ll blindly follow your suggestions for it doesn\u2019t matter what kind of track record you have as an investor if at all you have any.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the second case, your friends and family will suggest you invest in such stocks that they themselves have no idea of but have heard from another individual.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In both cases, <strong>the investor who follows tips and calls from another individual is destined to fail.<\/strong> Even if you mirror out exactly Mr.RJ\u2019s (Rakesh Jhunjhunwala) portfolio. You\u2019ll still lose out. For it\u2019s nearly impossible to make money by taking or following tips and suggestions. Mr.RJ\u2019s investment allocation (Allocation of capital into one stock), his time period, his commitment and his strategy might be completely different than an individual who\u2019s trying to mimic.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thus, it\u2019s nearly impossible to know what professional investors such as Mr.RJ do. And, when we know where they have invested. We do not know much of the other details mentioned above. <\/span><b>Example: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When Mr.RJ bought \u201cYes Bank\u201d, people were intrigued and some of them even bought the shares. Without knowing much about the investment. Wherein, Mr.RJ\u2019s allocation into \u201cYes Bank\u201d is not even 1% of his entire portfolio.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Read_read_and_read\"><\/span><b>Read, read, and read!<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yeah, reading is important.<strong> Our knowledge is limited to the place we live in, society, and the environment.<\/strong> They decide what we know and to what extent. To avoid and overcome this barrier, one needs to read books and articles. Especially those that give us tips and suggestions on how and how not to invest\/trade. An author writing such books will explain those mistakes that he\/she had made in the past. That\u2019s a great way of learning.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Have_a_Strategy\"><\/span><b>Have a Strategy<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As I would like to say, Read and then write them down and then think over it. People usually do one or two of the steps but they don\u2019t think or analyze what they have just read. <strong>\u2018Thinking is highly underestimated.<\/strong> And, the blame goes to the society we have created. <strong>We are not encouraged to think.<\/strong> Look at our schooling system (hopeful that the new education policy brings the required changes).<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best gift you as a parent, partner, friend, colleague and such other personnel can give to another individual is to ask them and insist upon <strong>\u2018Free thinking.<\/strong> Having an open-minded argument is crucial for a sane society to sustain. Encourage people to have an opinion and if there is such disagreement. <strong>Remember, this quote from Mr.Ray Dalio.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When someone asks me how I build my investing\/trading strategy. This is what I got.<strong> \u201cRead &#8211; Write &#8211; Think\u201d<\/strong> and then, talk to people about how they arrived at the decision of investing in one particular company. Learn different perspectives.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Invest_for_Growth\"><\/span><b>Invest for Growth<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, you read it right. <strong>We should invest for capital appreciation and that alone.<\/strong> Now, How does capital appreciate? To answer this you should know what equity stands for.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Equity is nothing but a piece of business. It\u2019s a part of the business owner of a company we invest in. If a company does good, makes a proper return over its investment by optimum sales, increasing profit margin, reducing cost, and other aspects. The capital appreciates. If not, the capital depreciates. It\u2019s as simple as that.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Invest for growth is specifically noted in \u2018Equities\u2019 because, year over year, equities have the capability to grow. Unlike Bonds, where we get interest from our investment but the capital does not grow a bit. <strong>Bonds are mainly to earn interest, while stocks are to earn wealth. Cause, stocks stand for growth.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>To be a successful long-term investor, it\u2019s crucial to be invested for growth.<\/strong> As an investor, your first goal is to safeguard your capital. And then, to make ROI (return on investment) comfortably over the inflation rate. This is achievable only through equities.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Example: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Suppose your ROI (post-tax and other expenses) is <strong>11%<\/strong>. If inflation is at <strong>4%<\/strong> (at average) then, your real ROI stands at <strong>7%<\/strong> (11%-4%). And, Stocks is the only asset that can make it happen.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, over the years there has been no other asset class that has performed as well as equities. Long-term equity investment literally beats every other asset class out there. <\/span><strong>Since its inception in November 1996, the NIFTY Next 50 index has delivered an annualized return of 17.2% as compared to 12.2% of NIFTY 50. Over the same period, SENSEX has delivered a CAGR of 8.9% per annum.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-3 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/upstox.com\/open-account\/?f=FN1853\" style=\"border-radius:50px;color:#0f0027;background-color:#e4fa00\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>Open Upstox Account Now!<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_approach_Investing_in_the_Stock_Market\"><\/span><b>How to approach Investing in the Stock Market?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cookie_jar\"><\/span><b>Cookie jar<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The term \u2018cookie jar\u2019 is a reference used for \u2018savings\u2019. <strong>You cannot become wealthy without changing your spending habits.<\/strong> Sayings as a habit are highly underrated.

Whether to go in by yourself or take professional help. If you choose the latter option then we got pretty good fund managers to assist you. Just save well (cut down your unnecessary expenditures) and then invest as in the Systematic Investment Plan (SIP). Over the years, down the line. You\u2019ll have enough corpus funds for your retirement.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are planning to invest by yourself. Then, congratulations!

An interest income of 3-4% is simply disastrous to your wealth. Especially, in the long term. <strong>Your purchasing power is going to diminish over time and thus leading to underperformance.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At <strong>3%<\/strong> inflation per annum, Inflation eats up more than a quarter of your savings purchasing power within <strong>10 years<\/strong>. And in <strong>24 years<\/strong>, your money purchasing power is at its half worth. Now, with covid, inflation is over <strong>5%<\/strong> (on average). This will eat up your savings worth by half worth in just<strong> 14 years<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, <strong>be aware of how inflation impacts your net worth.<\/strong> Invest wisely. Now, that\u2019s aside. How much money do you actually need to start investing? Well, there\u2019s no such limit. You can start with any amount of sayings. Just see that you got enough savings in the \u2018Emergency Fund\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emergency Fund is something that you have as a mode of savings that\u2019s available for disposal at times of need. <strong>The corpus of such funds should be sufficient enough to meet your 6 months expenses or such immediate emergence (whichever is early).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_can_I_start_investing_with_little_money\"><\/span><b>How can I start investing with little money?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might have heard or read stories about Mr.RJ starting his investment career at Rs.5,000 (a little under Rs.64,000 in today\u2019s money, inflation-adjusted).
