HDFC Bank Q4 Update:- 🏦Advances grow at 12% 🏦Deposits grow at 10% For the first time after the merger, Loan growth croses 10% Steady from HDFC Bank

@ChanderBhatia01 In past 10 years, investment in a midcap fund generated xirr 15%, which net of 5%pa forex depn, is 10%, and net of 12.5% tax, is 8%. Yes it’s not short term but long term seems tricky too.

Indian market topped around Sep’ 24, just 18 months ago. Investors are finding it difficult to handle the correction to the tune of 15-30%. Equity is not a short term product, always invest at least with a 3+ years perspective, preferably 5+ years perspective.

@_KiranRajput @vir259 What is rightly stopping them is Indias failing economic growth story

@vir259 Ministry is very much aware of it. Not sure what stopping them reversing LTCG to 0 for fii s.

RBI forced Banks and Traders to sell dollars is not the solution. Stop FIIs & FPIs outflows. They have sold 11.5L Cr/ 125B USD since introduction of LTCG & increase in STT. Government should talk to them.

@_KiranRajput Talk about what ? Why Indian gdp doesn’t reflect in corporate earnings or private capex ? About why despite corporate and retail incentives, consumption isn’t growing. Why is 80cr Indians living on govt food stamps?

The spokesperson for Khatam al-Anbiya: "We will exchange the captured American pilot for the release of 10,000 Palestinian prisoners."

@aravind Why. FIIs primarily ( same as any other apolitical pragmatic investor) invest in high growth to compensate higher risk-the equity risk premium. taxes fees etc are secondary. First fix serious growth & earnings

For investors in Indian markets: Short-term capital gains tax (stocks held <1 year) went from 15% to 20% two years ago. Long-term capital gains tax (held >1 year) went from 10% to 12.5% two years ago. And FIIs outflow since then: 2025: Record ₹1.66 lakh crore net - the highest annual FII outflow ever recorded in Indian markets. 2026: ₹1.51 lakh crore net just year to date. Just a 2% increase matters a lot if you are an FII investing billions. FIIs invest in India because of high growth opportunities, but a depreciating rupee and an increase in taxes means they may move out their capital. And FIIs definitely move their capital when they sense global issues may drag India's growth. We are already seeing this. This causes more stresses to India's economy, currency, and companies. Even if futures and options keep their increases in STT (for various reasons it can be argued to make sense), for capital gains from equities, this increase in tax definitely needs to be reconsidered by GoI. An idea I propose is the increases in taxes can be applied (some other way) only for FIIs, and only when they are taking out the capital from the country. Not sure how it can be implemented, or if it is even practical. If not, the increases in CGT must be reconsidered, and reverted for at least the time being, to incentivize FIIs and DIs in investing in India's growth story.

"Iran literally screams Death to America!" If they did even a fraction of what we've done to them in the 20th century we would also be saying "Death to Iran" A history lesson: 1951: Iran democratically elects Mohammad Mosaddegh, who wins overwhelmingly on his promise to nationalize Iranian oil that had been given away to the British before Iran formed as a modern country 1953: CIA and MI6 develop a plan to overthrow Mosaddegh and install a Western friendly puppet. The operation, dubbed Operation Ajax, was the first successful Color Revolution in intelligence history. They installed the Western-friendly Mohammad Reza Pahlavi as Shah (dictator) of Iran 1954: The US drafts a Consortium Agreement guaranteeing 50% of Iran's oil profits to American-friendly corporations, for 25 years 1957: The CIA and Mossad train up a secret police in Iran called the SAVAK, who operated like a KGB who would round up dissidents and torture and kill them. Eventually thousands of Iranians would be killed this way 1960-1978: The Shah, at the US's request, would purchase as many arms as possible from American defense contractors - this is why they even have F-14's today. In the 70's alone they spent $120 billion in today's dollars. Their annual revenues were around $17-25 billion, this represented almost all of their spending causing massive shortages for social services 1979: On the tail of the Shah trying to liberalize Iran socially like what's happened to America, along with 25% inflation the Iranians rise up and overthrow the Shah and install hardliner religious fanatics who oppose America. America immediately placed sanctions on Iran, who was already struggling financially. These sanctions still exist today, nearly all of their revenue is black market oil sales 1980: Sensing weakness in their neighbor, Iraq invades Iran hoping to take them over. This war would last 8 years and would end in a stalemate, despite Iraq committing 1 million soldiers. The US armed Iraq with arms, funding and illegal chemical weapons 1988: The USS Vincennes, operating in Iran territorial waters on behalf of Iraq, shoots down Iran Air Flight 655, a passenger plane with 290 civilians, all killed. The US would later go on to hand out medals to the crew of the Vincennes. This would be one of the major reasons for a UN resolution finally ending the war 1988-present: The CIA and Mossad have attempted many Color Revolutions, at least 4 documented, the most recent being just before the current conflict. Iran quickly crushes these attempts, often leading to the deaths of civilians caught up in them Yes, they hate us. Yes they kill our troops in the region. Yes they fund proxies that attack Israel They have good cause to do so

@STIR_Trader_ @ActusDei Why not invest in low cost nifty 100

There is this recent obsession with "diversifying" across the world--partially for better returns and partially for reduced volatility/drawdowns. If an investor is so worried about drawdowns, just invest in a multi-asset fund that has exposure to equities, fixed income and gold. That solves most of the problems. One can always find more reasons to diversify but studies show that overdiversification doesn't lead to better risk/reward. Also, if an investor can't stomach 20% drawdowns that occur regularly in equity space, he has no business investing in equities. When shit really hits the fan, equities all across the world converge to correlation of 1. Covid and GFC are great examples of that.

@gworks___ @ActusDei Couldnt agree more. can appear oppurtunistic

@ActusDei Instead of telling people to invest outside India 2 years ago, isn't this 2 years late. This is the same mistake as everyone else does, driving by looking at the rear view mirror.

@ActusDei What does dollar investing do to inflows to already pressured Indian stock markets. FIIs have deserted, now Indian investors too. what does Indians rushing to buy USD to invest in global markets at much depreciated rupee do to INR? Is there a view here?

BJP celebrated when Indian ships passed through Hormuz last month. “Modi’s silent diplomacy,” they said. One month later; a tanker with 6 lakh barrels of Iranian crude, destination Gujarat, quietly turned around mid-sea. Where is it going? China. The tanker didn’t turn back because of war or blockade. It turned back because Indian refiners CANNOT pay for US-sanctioned ships. Meanwhile China has zero such problem. China took the oil India needed. This is what 7 years of surrendering your foreign policy to Washington looks like. Hormuz was never the problem. Modi’s compromises are.

I no longer believe in the 2-state solution. Once this #IranWar‌ is over all the land now comprising Israel, West Bank, Gaza should be one state called Palestine where Arab Christians, Muslims & Jews can live alongside each other. Just as they did before terrorists created Israel

The Iranians have to be governed by the nerdiest regime of all time. You can't swing a dead cat without hitting an Iranian leader who has written a book on Aristotle, Kant, Farabi, etc. Therefore, in order to foster constructive diplomatic relations with the Islamic Republic, the State Department should consider deploying the United States' own emergency Strategic Straussian Reserve of political philosophers. Before engaging Iran on ending the war, re-opening the Strait of Hormuz, signing mutual nonaggression pacts, and examining the future of sanctions, American political philosophers should engage the Iranians on the real issues at stake such as: -Resolving the theological-political question in both Western and Islamic contexts. -Developing a shared textual hermeneutic. -Addressing the connection between instrumental reason, technology, and modernity. We need to speak a language the Iranians understand. We need to transform these negotiations into a graduate seminar. @StateDept @SecRubio

@Malcolm_Pal9 Iran is putting India the democracy to shame where in North India women’s education, independence is far far far away, compared to Iran. Made me see how the way to look at this is how educated, independent and socially participating in the economy, women are. Iran wins

Brilliant speech by Ghazal Diani, speaking at a rally of Iranians Against Imposed War. She says, ‘People are obsessed with Iranian women wearing bikinis on the beach, as if this were the most urgent concern of highly educated, ambitious, and capable Iranian women.’

@libriscent we are ultimately alone in joy and sorrow, it’s so important to walk this path alone for our own education growth and peace ♥️

I have no problem eating alone, traveling alone, doing everything alone. People act like that’s sad. You know what’s actually sad? Never doing anything because you couldn’t find someone to come with you.
