The Finance Beast

Every trader on X suddenly an economic genius: "Cut STT, LTCG, STCG & watch FIIs flood in! Sensex to 1 lakh! Rupee dominance 🚀" Delusional takes. Slow down folks. India’s rupee keeps sliding because we are a chronic trade deficit nation — we import crores worth of crude, gold & tech while exporting far less. 📉 Real problems killing us? Reservation, massive corruption & reckless freebies that punish taxpayers who work and reward those who don’t. This toxic combo is driving domestic talent out of the country. Secondary market taxes matter, but they’re not the cure. Only real solution: Government must aggressively back Indian talent & innovation to build unique, high-value export products. Aggressively boost tourism with clean, sustainable infrastructure — not broken bridges & photo-ops every few months. Foreign inflows need real fundamentals, not just tax cuts. Fix the basics or keep watching the rupee slide🇮🇳 #USDINR

@RajshekharDunna @nsitharaman Direct abolishment seems a bit too much, the govt can keep reducing it gradually over a few years.

@Financial_Beast @nsitharaman Abolish LTCG

🚨Big breaking: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has stated that the government is open to reevaluating the tax system and will consider the demands and inputs from stock market investors. Shri @nsitharaman ji, I would like to keep realistic expectations and here are the demands. • Please slash STT by at least 50%, it hurts both traders and investors. It's literally unfair, we already pay STCG, LTCG, Stamp duty, GST. • Consider reducing LTCG and STCG back to 10% and 15% respectively as it was before 2024 budget.

📌 Upcoming Buyback: Dhanuka Agritech Ltd • Record Date: 29 May 2026 • Buyback Type: Tender Offer • Buyback Size: ₹70 Cr • Shares to be bought back: 5 lakh shares • Buyback Price: ₹1400/share • CMP: ₹1,172.40 Potential gain on accepted shares: ~₹227.6/share (+19.41%) 🚀 Interesting to watch acceptance ratio as the size of buyback is small. #Buyback

@AdvanceDexter @FinMinIndia Don't abuse, u can get into trouble by these goons.

Haramkhor @FinMinIndia Security Transaction Tax kya hai? Eroding even 2K from a 15K profit! Bhadwe nalle, you cannot hate these sanghis enough

Cherry on top? You only get 0.8 litre in ₹109 as 20% is blended with ethanol😂

4 fuel hikes in just 12 days. Citizens are being squeezed quietly while being told “everything is under control.” ⛽ May 15: +₹3.00 May 19: +₹0.90 May 23: +₹0.87 May 25: +₹2.61 Total hike of ₹7.38 driving petrol prices up at ~₹109/litre(Maharashtra) but still ~25% of the price we pay goes into taxes to fund endless freebies, so which shock did the government absorb exactly to protect it's citizens? #Petrol

BJP CONGRESS AAP TMC, no matter who comes into power, each and every politician is corrupt. Country needs some serious reforms and accountability. Every party is just behind freebies to win votes. Long term economic shock will be so critical that these leaders aren't realising yet.

> Petrol may touch ₹200 per litre > Diesel may touch ₹150 per litre > Cylinders may touch ₹4,000 per kg Still going to vote for the BJP, because development matters more. If Congress comes to power, they will start looting the country and the people.

🚨 Petrol prices in India today after the increase.

🌕Gold Analysis for the Coming Week: • Gap Down → I’ll stay cautious & avoid fresh longs • Flat/Gap Up → Looking for bullish setups Monthly chart is setting up for a Doji close. If it happens, next month could turn strongly directional after 2 consecutive doji months. Key Levels: • Major Support: 4480 • Major Resistance: 4650 Note: Gold is behaving contrary this time, not rallying despite geopolitical tensions. Keep a close eye on Crude oil for directional cues. What are your thoughts on Gold this week? Not any recommendation or tip. Only for educational purpose. #XAUUSD #Gold

Nifty Analysis for the Coming Week 📊 Last week opened with a gap down but closed on a positive note. Global sentiments over the weekend remain supportive amid easing geopolitical tensions. Crude has corrected sharply by ~$6 and is trading near $90, this could act as a trigger for an upside move in Nifty. Trading Plan: • Big Gap Up → Limited follow through expected. Prefer Option Selling. • Flat to mildly bullish open → Good chance of a bullish move over the week. • Gap Down → Confusing setup. Better to stay on the sidelines. Sectoral View: Banking and FMCG look poised for a bounce. Keep them on radar for bullish setups. Key Levels: • Major Support: 23,125 • Major Resistance: 24,570 What’s your view for the week? 👇 Not any recommendation or tip, only for educational purpose. #Nifty #StockMarketsIndia

Genuine question : How to start with 0? Even 100000000000% return on 0 would still be 0.

Please stop this Weekend Nifty 50 Index bullshit.

Here’s what you’re actually paying for every ₹108 litre of petrol in Mumbai👇🏻 Crude at $97/barrel and USDINR at 95.5: • Crude oil cost ≈ ₹58/L • Refining + transport + blending ≈ ₹9/L • 20% ethanol blending impact included ➡️ Actual fuel/product cost comes to roughly ₹67/L. Mumbai petrol price today: ~₹108/L The remaining ~₹41 goes towards: • Central excise duty • Maharashtra VAT/cess • Dealer commissions & margins So nearly 1/3rd of what you pay at the pump is taxes. That’s also why petrol prices don’t fall proportionally even when crude corrects.📉 (These are estimated figures for understanding the price structure, not exact audited numbers.) Also, India often procures crude below Brent prices depending on discounts, sourcing agreements and global geopolitical conditions.

India is lucky to have Zerodha. Not because it is perfect, but because it is one of the few consumer finance companies in India that does not seem to treat users like livestock to be milked. Their published company philosophy says they do not impose internal growth targets for accounts opened, app installs, orders placed or revenue generated. For a brokerage, where most of the business model depends on making users trade more, this is almost heretical. They even warn users about risky trades, illiquid stocks and how few active traders actually make money. We need more companies like this in India. Companies that understand that consumer goodwill is also an asset, not just something to be strip-mined the moment there is a chance to improve margins.

Currently, who fits perfectly for the Finance Minister role? We need someone who understands the pain from the ground level. Who do you think is a good candidate currently? #FinanceMinister
