Asia's Richest Man Turned Fraudster? | Gautam Adani Documentary

Asia's Richest Man Turned Fraudster? | Gautam Adani Documentary

Gautam Adani, the 3rd richest man in the world and chairman of billion-dollar empire Adani Group has been accused of pulling the largest fraud in corporate history. 

War rages on. 

Two unlikely titans face off.

In one corner is beloved billionaire Gautam Adani and Indian conglomerate Adani Group.

A behemoth worth more than $200 billion dollars. 

In the other corner is a U.S Forensic Research company called Hindenburg Research. 

Even though they’re a young company, Hindenburg has an impressive resume. 

They’re the same organization that exposed Nikola motors for fraud…

…and brought numerous other companies to their knees. 

Now they turn to Adani Group.

John Bogle: He is proof that capitalism works (Vanguard) | Full Documentary

John Bogle: He is proof that capitalism works (Vanguard) | Full Documentary

John Bogle single-handedly pioneers the concept of index funds. Think the S&P 500, NASDAQ-100, and Blackrock. But more importantly, he creates his own group, Vanguard, seemingly behind the scenes, which out-classes them all. 

Managing TRILLIONS of Dollars in Assets. Every. Single. Day.

The Investor Who Ruled the World | George Soros - More power than God, Enjoying World War, Secret of Investing Success, Getting wealthy, Starting Soros fund, Gambler or Investor God, Soros evil side

Little children have fantasies. The child who is skinny and weak delights in dreaming that, with the snap of a finger, he can become a Stallone, or-minus ze German accent - a Schwarzenegger. 

The kid who rarely leaves home and doesn’t travel wishes he could be a pilot, or an astronaut. 

But what is one to make of a child who believed he was God? 

Those were the thoughts of young George Soros, growing up in upper-middle-class surroundings in 1930s Budapest.

My time working in management consulting in a leading consultancy oppened a lot of doors for me. But I still think that there are a lot of negatives aspects of the management consulting industry. The negative sides of management consulting do exist. In this video I will be honest with you and share two major negatives of management consulting. For that I will also talk about a conversation I had with another friend of mine (also Consultant) who told me about a client project he did in strategy consulting that didn't really create any value.

In an older video "Are Online Certificates Worth It? | HarvardX, Coursera, Stanford, edX, etc." I discussed whether Online Certificates and Online Courses are actually worth it and if they can increase your chance to get your dream job. In the comment section many people held differing opinions. Some thought that online certificates are not useless at all. Some thought online certificates are not totally worth it. Because I still think that many Online Courses out there are definitely not helpful I decided to screen the offering online to give you the Top 5 Online Certificates That Are Actually Worth It. Especially for students.
