In the last five years, whenever interest in the keyword ' multibagger ' has hit a peak, indicating rising euphoria around equities, markets tend to correct. An analysis of Google Trends suggests that over the past five years, whenever interest in the term 'multibagger' hits a peak, it spells a weak spell for Indian markets. A multibagger is a term used for a stock that has at least doubled in value over any time period. So a stock that has clocked 100 percent returns is a 1-bagger, a stock that has returned 200 percent is a 2-bagger and so on. If you input a keyword into Google Trends, it would show you the historical interest in the term on a scale of 0 to 100, relative to the highest point on the chart for a given region and time. A value of 50 means that the term is half as popular. Likewise, a score of 0 means the term was less than 1 percent as popular as the peak. In the last five financial years, whenever this indicator hit the 100 mark with respect to the p...

The market for Virtual Private Networks has exploded over the past few years. A wealth of new providers has appeared, promising logless browsing, true anonymity, and fast speeds. Through all that noise, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to find the Best VPN for your needs. Thankfully, there are some established brands that stand above the rest.

In addition, PIA keeps no logs and eliminates DNS leaks , IPv6 leaks , web tracking and malware. It boasts over 3200 servers across 24 countries , as well as a free SOCKS5 proxy . PIA’s VPN Gateways provide thousands of servers across the globe Primarily, there is a slightly limited ability to bypass region blocks. PIA might require logging into a few VPN servers to find one that successfully unblocks Netflix or Hulu, but does work wit...

 VPN Services have become a necessity for users concerned about their online privacy and security . With literally hundreds of thousands of attacks daily, exploits and security vulnerabilities being discovered plus government agencies and ISPs monitoring user activity, the internet is no longer considered a safe place. With the help of a VPN Service, users are able to hide their real IP address and online activities by connecting to a VPN server and passing all traffic through that server. This way, the internet only sees the IP address of the VPN server. Today, extended VPN Services provide us with many different and useful capabilities. For example they can provide users with the ability to bypass geo-restrictions for streaming services such as Hulu and Netflix . They also offer increased security and identity protection for mobile devices such as iPhones, iPads, Laptops, Android smartphones, tablet devices etc. This makes finding and selecting the best V...

Measuring network performance has always been a difficult and unclear task, mainly because most engineers and administrators are unsure which approach is best suited for their LAN or WAN network . A common (and very simple) method of testing network performance is by initiating a simple file transfer from one end (usually workstation) to another (usually server), however, this method is frequently debated amongst engineers and there is good reason for that: When performing file transfers , we are not only measuring the transfer speed but also hard disk delays on both ends of the stream. It is very likely that the destination target is capable of accepting greater transmission rates than the source is able to send, or the other way around. These bottlenecks , caused by hard disk drives, operating system queuing mechanism or other hardware components, introduce unwanted delays , ultimately providing incorrect results. The best way to measure the maximum throughput ...
