@ManishNifty Banning foreign HFTs won't solve the problem. If you ban them, what prevents traders to trade these strategies using Indian HFTs ?

Jane Street Vs Millennium mein JAAN aur MAAL ka nuksaan Indian Retail traders ko ho raha hai…. If SEBI actually wants to protect retail traders, instead of trying to Ban retail Algos, try banning HFTs of foriegn Hedge funds But wo hoga nahi 😀 and phir kaha jayega 90% traders loose money so stay away from it… Its like road pe na chale, accident ho sakta hai… But road pe light ka control kisi aur ko de do… and harr kuch meters pe bumpers laga do…. #StockMarket #StockMarketindia

We can infer where markets stand in their cycle from the behaviour of those around us. When other investors are unworried, we should be cautious; when investors are paniked, we should turn aggressive. The Most Important Thing - Howard Marks

Its impossibe to know when an overheated market will turn down, or when a downturn will cease and appreciation will take place. But while we never know where we are going, we ought to know where we are.

If you have to spend time analyzing how yesterday's budget is going to impact your portfolio, then you definitely don't have the right portfolio.

@RamaniSumit Sumit - give Gulaq gear-6 a try

For all the noise around trading on a Saturday, here is the end result of my portfolio

@ravihanda And I always thought it was Churchill who said it.

@ravihanda I love the simple easy to use interface of zerodha. Besides I login to my zerodha account once a month to rebalance my portfolio, so I would be fine if it stays down for the rest 29 days

I am not someone who trades / invests in equity but I do have a question for those of you who do it seriously - why do you use Zerodha? It goes down very often, at least it seems that way from Twitter. Why not use something more reliable? Let’s say something like ICICI Direct.

Was talking to a client who has started his investing journey last yr Tried explaining him that having life insurance is key to better financial planning. Took a bit of convincing btw, he just got the his iPhone 15 and because it was expensive, he had taken insurance for it

@aditya_kondawar These numbers are still very small on the basis of per capita consumption, relative to US/Europe.

Varun Beverages sold 480 Cr Litres of Pepsi and other Beverages in FY23 Dominos India sold 6.7 cr to 7.83 cr Pizzas in FY23 Pizza hut India (Sapphire) sold about 1 Crore Pizzas in FY23 Pizza hut India (Devyani) sold about 1.2 Crore Pizzas in FY23 Bikaji sold almost 65 cr packets of Bhujia in FY23 (60 cr packets in FY22) – They sold 3 Cr KG of Bhujia in FY21 , must be closer to 4-4.5 Cr KG in FY23 easily! Prataap Snacks sold 438 Cr chips packets in FY23 (400 cr packets in FY22) QSR and Junk Food Industry volumes are on next level Makes me bullish on QSR but even more bullish on Hospitals and healthcare Industry that will benefit thanks to the effects of this junk food consumption! Scary Numbers for sure! Src - Annual reports, Concalls, DRHP, For some companies did some rough calculations.

@Simple_trader_ Very hard for investors to handle underperformance for more than a year.

If you can stay invested for 5 years+, HDFC and Kotak bank will easily beat index in coming years Time to break FD in Kotak and Hdfc to invest in their shares Momentum players can wait for new 52 high. Should provide very good entry point in next few months. Both banks will come out of big consolidation

Be systematic about investing and do not get swayed by the emotions. The markets are desigend in a way to go up over long run.

The words of Rudyard Kipling are apt for this occasion: 𝑰𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒎𝒆𝒆𝒕 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝑻𝒓𝒊𝒖𝒎𝒑𝒉 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑫𝒊𝒔𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓   𝑨𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝒕𝒘𝒐 𝒊𝒎𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒔 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒂𝒎𝒆

Few days back my feed was filled with messages about Nifty reaching 20K level. "𝑺𝒖𝒑𝒆𝒓 𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒚 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒆𝒆 𝑵𝒊𝒇𝒕𝒚 𝒃𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 20,000" So, now that Nifty is back below 20,000 , should we be sad about it ??

@padhucfp Because the investent is locked till 60. In MFs, 1st challenge is to identify those which will beat the index, maybe that number is 60-70% in case of small and mid cap, next challange is to stay invested in a fund for long term and not to time the mkts.

@viveshar How can you ensure, NPS 100% will realize, MF only 20%. Can you brief...

NPS is meant for Loooooooong Term. It is not 100% equity. Even in equity it will be invested mostly in large cap funds. Those who invested in NPS will not worry about performance on a regular basis. Look at the similar returns in the Small cap funds. Mind boggling. Just for the sake of tax, is it really worth considering!!! Moreover, Pension is not tax free. SWP in Mutual Fund will work much better, hardly one will have tax considering the current taxation is concerned. It is just food for thought, it is up to the individual to choose what is good and what gives peaceful sleep to select NPS or not. Picture Courtesy @ValueResearch @dhirendra_vr

@ravihanda Investing app idea - you can only look at your portfolio once a month.

What sort of dumb idiots are running fintech social media accounts. Calling a 0.67% fall as Stock Market Crash!

SEBI IA regulation came in 2013. We have less than 1000 active RIAs in the country after 10 years. Nobody wants to become an RIA. Many existing RIAs are surrendering their registrations. But SEBI & BASL continues to make life difficult for RIAs.
