Markets, sports, and the economics behind everyday life.

I’m Rithik, a Penn State student interested in finance, economics, sports, and the decisions people make every day.

I originally created this site to share my thoughts on stocks and sports betting, but it has grown into something more personal. Along with market and sports analysis, I use this site to explore how economics shows up outside of a textbook. I am not trying to pretend I have every answer. This site is a place for me to research, make predictions, explain what I am thinking, and learn from the times I get things right and the times I do not.

Markets

My thoughts on companies, stocks, investing, and what I am watching in the market.

Sports

Game analysis, betting ideas, predictions, and the reasoning behind my picks.

Real-Life Economics

Economics is happening everywhere, not just on a graph. Here I look at how money, incentives, opportunity, and decision-making show up in college and everyday life.

More Than a Pick

Whether I am looking at a stock, a football game, or something happening around me, I want to understand one thing: why? And when I do figure it out, I want to be here to share my findings with you all.

Why does a price move? Why are people willing to pay more? Why does one decision make more sense than another?

That is what Rithik’s Picks is really about. I hope you enjoy.
