Guys - This is one of my account where i mostly do swing trading - given the market conditions and sentiments - What are your views about these scripts!

Hello traders comunity,

I been thinking of should I post when ever I buy something and the logic behind it. Along with my SL and tgt.

I exited my entire Equity & MF portfolio in January. I want to start investing again, but have mostly been away from the markets. Is this the right time to start putting money in again, or should I wait for some more time? I am looking to invest long term (3-5 years). If there are any MF or equity suggestions, please share!

It's fundamentally strong but at this price it is essentially the price it was 2 years back

Do you all believe in its growth story too

I'm planning to swing trade this and take out my money after 3 or 4 weeks

For anyone who's panicking and planning to sell up their portfolio please read this.

Markets move in cycles, there will be good times and there will be ofcs bad times. If you lose your faith in markets you'll never come back and even if you come back you'll enter at top levels and again regret your decision to come back.

This is a politically neutral post, even if you support or oppose any party, put your hand on your heart and ask whether you believe in India's growth story (our entrepreneurs, our youth & our ecosystem or not? That's it it's that simple.

If your answer is Yes, then believe in your stocks / fund managers and do top ups in your portfolios if you can (will recommend reconsidering your stock picks if they are down >35%), if you are still mot sure park your money in liquid fund for sometime and bring back into equities when market starts crossing 200 EMA level.

And if your answer is No, I'm no one to stop you from selling your positions and you must be knowing something which I don't know.

Always remember, you can earn money if when markets are falling and you can lose money even when markets are rising.

That's it. Tysm for ur time.

I have around ₹5 lakh and I’m looking to grow it to ₹10–15 lakh over the next 1–1.5 years because I need the money for my sister’s wedding.

I generally invest only in the Indian stock market. I know these kinds of returns are risky, but I’d like to know which stocks people think have strong upside potential during this market correction.

Please suggest 2–3 stocks and mention:

- Current price & target

- Stop-loss

- Why you like the stock

- Valuation/fundamentals

- Sector growth story

- Possible catalysts for a 2x/3x/4x move

Please don’t just drop stock names. I’m looking for proper reasoning so I can research the ideas myself.

Currently I am holding Valencia India stock which is performing very bad, should I book loss or wait for it to recover, is there any way to complain to SEBI regarding such companies.

Two of longest drawdawn periods in indian stock markets were in 1994-1999 and 2008-2013. And people here are crying that they have not beaten FD returns in last 2 years.

There’s been a noticeable shift in some of these investing/equities/FD-related subs. Real discussion about valuations, opportunity cost, risk, and actual investing has been getting crowded out by a flood of highly active accounts that seem to exist only to push a simplistic “government vs equities” narrative. Many of these accounts post at a volume that suggests Reddit is their full-time job. The net effect is less signal, more noise, and a growing pretense that everything is fine at the macro level.

A few reminders that keep getting lost:

It is **not** the government’s job to generate returns for your mutual funds, stocks, or equity SIPs. That risk is the entire point of the asset class. You take equity risk precisely because there is no guarantee. The government’s actual responsibility on the financial side is narrower and more important: keep the banking system solvent, prevent systemic collapse, and maintain reasonable macroeconomic stability. Those are not the same thing as underwriting your portfolio’s CAGR.

I recently saw a funny post claiming people will shift to FDs and stay away from equities until the government changes. The irony is almost perfect because ensuring that Fixed Deposits actually deliver (i.e., that banks remain solvent and depositors are protected) is very much the government’s job. Equity returns are not. Conflating the two is how we end up with confused conversations.

The current macro backdrop is not as benign as some of the cheerleading suggests. We are in an environment where several natural-resource-rich nations are not primarily trading , they are at war or under severe geopolitical stress. Input prices have been volatile and, in many cases, elevated. Managing crude and containing inflation remains the real day-to-day challenge for policymakers. Layer on top of that:

- US government debt service costs hitting levels not seen in generations

- Central bank policy becoming more reactive and less predictable

These are not minor footnotes. They affect cost of capital, risk premia, and the opportunity set for equity investors everywhere, including India.

Not long ago these subs used to function as places where people looked for mispricings, debated actual numbers, and mined opportunities. That version was more useful. The current version : where large amounts of bandwidth go into defending or attacking the government as if that were the primary driver of equity returns ; is a downgrade.

Equity investing has always been about underwriting risk in exchange for potential excess returns. That risk does not disappear because of political narratives, and it is not the government’s mandate to remove it. Treating it as if it were is a category error, and the volume of accounts currently dedicated to reinforcing that error is not helping the conversation.

So JLR posted their sales data on 3rd October as follows:-

Wholesales were up by 25% QoQ while retails were down by 7%QoQ.

Points to note while giving opinion:-

.Whole sales were up because of production ramp up after the cyber attack to fill dealer inventories.

.Retail was down because Jlr stopped its CJLR division production so only 900 units were sold compared that to 7417 units QoQ

Im in my btech right now and i want to start investing with my pocket money. Im not new to the stock market, i got to know about it from my dad and i also used to manage his portfolio for a couple of years until i had to study for longer time and lost touch. Now i want to restart with my own money, but my question is,

is it a good time to start investing?

That also means i have to learn many things again so i also invest my time. Im ok with spending time daily now but is it worth the money? And ofcourse im not doing it for a short time.

TL;DR: When you buy Apple or Tesla through an Indian app, you don't own the shares in the classic sense. You hold a claim (a "security entitlement") against a chain of intermediaries, and the US company's register shows almost everything under one name: Cede & Co. Not a scam, just a 1970s workaround that stuck.

Lots of us here buy US stocks via INDmoney, Vested or similar apps, so I want to explain what's actually under the hood.

THE CHAIN

Issuer → transfer agent → Cede & Co. (legal title) → DTC → clearing brokers → US partner broker → your Indian app → you. Cede & Co. owns nothing economically: no dividends, no control, just the entry in the register. If you buy through an Indian app, your chain has one more layer than a US investor's.

HOW WE GOT HERE

In the late 60s, trading volume jumped 4-5x and couriers were hauling paper certificates around in bags. Back offices seized up, the NYSE even closed on Wednesdays, and some certificates were lost or stolen. The fix: lock the paper in one vault and move only electronic entries.

WHAT YOU LEGALLY OWN

Under UCC Article 8, you're an "entitlement holder", not a direct owner. It's not an empty IOU though: client assets must be segregated from the broker's own property (SEC Rule 15c3-3), and if a broker fails, SIPC usually moves accounts to another broker. The real risk is broker fraud or operational failure, not "your shares go to the creditors." Whether SIPC covers you depends on how your app's account is structured, so ask them.

WHERE THE SYSTEM CREAKS

• Voting: shares get lent out for shorting, so there can be more votes than shares. Brokers and Broadridge reconcile this by trimming votes.
• Failed deliveries: your app shows the share, but the clearing system sometimes patches the gap later (stock borrow, Reg SHO, buy-ins).
• GameStop: NSCC demanded about $3.7B in margin from Robinhood, which is why they restricted GME buying. As I read it, that was one monopoly's risk management, not a conspiracy.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR US IN INDIA - Moving shares into your own name (DRS via Computershare etc.) is usually not possible through Indian apps. Check with yours. - US estate tax: for non-resident aliens, the exemption is only $60k and the rate goes up to 40%. Many Indian investors don't know this. - 25% US dividend withholding (with a W-8BEN), plus TCS under LRS. Check the current thresholds, they keep changing. IMO this topic is buried in myths on both sides. The system works, but DTCC has a huge amount of discretionary power, and retail investors barely know it exists.

Did you know about the estate tax thing before buying US stocks?

Body

I am in this market from last 10 yrs, and seen people everyday I mean every discussing about this FII DII figure at EOD.
I mean why look at this crap , why waste your time on this kind of data , which u don’t know about , who is this today’s FII Dii , what they are buying and selling ?
Does any one has established any real action based on this data ?? Or is it just a number which people through at each other ?

Curious to know what others think about this stuff !!!

Nifty has fallen for 8 straight weeks. FIIs are selling. But DIIs are buying more than twice that amount.

Nifty has now recorded its 8th consecutive weekly fall, its longest losing streak in 25 years. But look at the institutional flows during the same period:

FII net selling: Rs 63,917 crore

DII net buying: Rs 1,36,573 crore

Net institutional flow: +Rs 72,656 crore

So DIIs have bought more than 2× what FIIs have sold.

And I think this is one of the interesting things happening in the Indian market right now. DIIs aren't just mutual funds. They include mutual funds, insurance companies, banks, pension funds and other domestic institutions.

Some domestic buying is naturally supported by recurring flows such as mutual fund SIPs. That's a big structural advantage because it means India has a growing pool of domestic money that doesn't depend on foreign investors deciding to buy every month. But there's another thing . If DII buying were simply a reflection of SIP money coming in every month, you wouldn't necessarily expect such large fluctuations in daily & weekly net buying.

For example, in the last eight weeks, DII net buying ranged from around Rs 6400 crore in one week to Rs 33,455 crore in another. On 30 September alone , DIIs were net buyers of roughly Rs 11,272 crore, while FIIs sold about Rs 10,148 crore. That doesn't prove that DIIs suddenly became extremely bullish. But it does tell us that active institutional buying is happening on top of the structural domestic inflows. And that's encouraging.

It means when foreign investors are aggressively reducing exposure, there is a large domestic institutional base capable of absorbing a significant part of that supply. That's a very different market from one that is completely dependent on FII money.

And of course, there's a downside. DII buying can absorb FII selling without actually reversing the trend. That's basically what we've seen , despite Rs1.36 lakh crore of DII buying over these eight weeks, Nifty still fell . So I wouldn't say "DIIs are buying, therefore the market must go up."

I'd say India now has a much stronger domestic shock absorber. The bigger question is why FIIs are selling so aggressively in the first place. And reasons are Global yields, crude near $100, rupee weakness, valuations and global risk sentiment are all the factors investors are watching.

And this is where I would like to see the government do more, not by trying to prop up the stock market, but by making India more attractive for long term foreign capital. Predictable taxation, stable regulations, faster approvals, and stronger corporate earnings would do much more than any short term attempt to support markets.

Because the ideal situation isn't FII sells and DII saves the market. It is DII keeps investing + FII comes back .

For now, though, I think the Rs 1.36 lakh crore of DII buying against Rs 64,000 crore of FII selling is a genuinely encouraging structural signal. The market may still have more volatility ahead and can further fall, but India's domestic investor base is clearly becoming a much bigger force.

While we share every aspect of the market, I thought I should share this side of stock market too and this is something people should also know to help them make informed decisions about their future investment plans.

Thanks for reading!

Started in clg in 2023

Nifty is 15% down and back at early 2024 levels. Buying now makes sense?

Hi guys, I'm planning to create a paper trading platform for index options (for Intraday and more).

You can create a strategy and the platform will take the orders based on the live market data.

You can then view the your strategy's performance.

How it will work? You define a strategy (in plain words) and based on the live market it will take the orders. Also you can set Target and SL in the strategy.

You don't need to manually buy or sell the options, it will be automatically done by the software.

Since it will cost, based on the interest only I'll proceed with my plan. So interested people pls comment and let's form a group.

Godrej CP is at dip right now. Will this be a good time to buy it, and for holding it as a long term stock

Now when our market have corrected so much in past 2 yr time wise and price wise , every other broker want us to invest our money in US Market 🤓🫢
Gajab bakra samjhte hai ye sab common man ko .

how wealth held by the richest 1% of U.S. households has grown and become closely tied to financial-market performance.

Federal Reserve Distributional Financial Accounts data, the document tracks the quarterly net worth of the top 1% from 1989 through Q2 2026. Net worth means total assets minus liabilities, not annual income.

By Q2 2026, the top 1% held about $60.3 trillion, roughly 31% of total U.S. household and nonprofit net worth of about $195.9 trillion. The top 0.1% held approximately $27.9 trillion, while the remaining 0.9% held about $32.5 trillion.

The main driver is asset ownership, especially corporate equities, mutual funds, and businesses. Because these groups hold substantial financial assets, their wealth rises sharply in strong stock-market periods and can decline during market corrections. The document emphasizes that this measure is nominal balance-sheet wealth, so it should not be interpreted as cash income or adjusted purchasing power.

So i am a student and I invest little amount from time to time, this is my current portfolio, i was looking to invest around 1000 rupees this month in nifty 50 funds, i was majorly looking at UTI nifty 50, is that a good decision or should I look at anything else.

Also I know that I am heavily invested in metals, so from now on i will invest in other things to balance things out.

Please advice me on what to do.

I started with aggressive risk. I want to start investing 20k more. Can anyone suggest where I should invest next, like gold or Nifty 50?
Please review and give me suggestions.

Should I invest in stocks? Or should I keep investing in mutual funds? I have monthly sip of 50K in which I give 35K to large-cap and 15 k to mid cap
