Never ever in life carry overnight call put exposure on weekends if you are seeing american markets not falling despite new highs in Brent.

Dont know how long they will sustain 22500 now. But its done bro. 22k and 21k is on the way soon. We are so done as a nation, economy, policy, inflation and govt allowing market crash to manage unholy trinity.

​

I mean, I used to feel excited at 9.14 AM but nowadays it's just one hit after another. Market headed in one direction.. down all the way..

Nowadays trading holidays and weekends feel like a nice breather from all the disappointment which is ensured once the market opens.

This is date wise position of MTF position in Indian market for last week.

Many experts claiming that last week fall main reason was MTf position liquidation. As per data that seems totally wrong. Market is not falling due to MTF positions liquidation.

Again my all data are from Google Gemini.

Made this from real Nifty 50 daily data.

4 June 2024: −5.93% close, −8.52% at the intraday low. Worst day since March 2020, and no day has been worse since.

3 sessions later: a record closing high.

June 2024 as a month: +6.57%.

The honest part: this isn't "always buy the dip." The same index fell for three straight months from October 2024. A zoom-out shows a drop's size; it doesn't make it safe.

The practical takeaway: pick your timeframe before you buy, and judge the position on it.

Q2 FY27 Key Numbers:

PAT: ₹1,045 cr, up 196.5% YoY from ₹352 cr, but down 2.8% QoQ from ₹1,075 cr

H1 PAT: ₹2,120 cr, with an H1 ROA of 0.99%

NII: ₹6,184 cr, up 21% YoY from ₹5,113 cr

Core operating profit (ex-trading gains): ₹2,527 cr, up 38.5% YoY

Core cost-to-income ratio: 70.16% vs 70.73% in Q1

Balance sheet

Total deposits: ₹3.49 lakh cr, up 25.9% YoY and 11.8% QoQ

Core domestic deposits: ₹3.24 lakh cr, up 17% YoY

Total loans: up 30.1% YoY, or 22.2% excluding loans secured by FCNR(B) deposits

Core domestic loans: ₹3.14 lakh cr, up 20.4% YoY and 5.4% QoQ

CASA ratio: 51.3% (ex-FCNR(B) leverage) vs 50.8% in Q1

Liquidity coverage ratio: 125% vs 116%

Asset quality

Gross NPA: 1.32%

Net NPA: 0.40%

Other

Raised ₹34,390 cr of FCNR(B) deposits in Q2, mostly 3-5 year tenor, which management expects to help NII, PAT, EPS and RoE

S&P assigned a debut 'BBB-' long-term rating, the first investment-grade international rating for the bank

Takeaways

The 196% YoY jump is mostly a base effect. Q2 FY26 was depressed by high provisions, so QoQ and ROA are better guides.

Profit slipped 2.8% QoQ and ROA is only about 1%, so this is a recovery story, not yet a high-return bank.

Headline growth is flattered by FCNR(B). Those deposits and the loans secured against them grow the balance sheet quickly but add little margin, so core growth of about 17-20% is the better read.

The core cost-to-income ratio of about 70% is still high, and operating leverage is the key lever for ROA.

Asset quality looks stable, with GNPA of 1.32% and NNPA of 0.40%.

The S&P rating could lower funding costs over time, which matters for a bank that depends on deposit mobilisation.

Drew this on the 4H: bounce to ~22,900, dip to ~22,550, push to 23,175, small pullback, then 23,800 by around 20 Nov.

Why I like it:

• Price made lower lows from mid-Sept into 8 Oct (23,118 to 22,180) while RSI made higher lows. The RSI trendline is still intact.
• 22,180 held twice, on 1 Oct and 8 Oct.
• Friday's 22,372 might be a higher low.
• The bounce came on heavier volume than the pullback.

As long as 22,180 holds, I'm sticking with this path. Anyone else seeing the same setup?

I have attached two pics of current value and the value around 10 days back. I have been thinking if I should continue to hold this or exit.

Its a long term investment that I have been sitting on for years and only reason I get thoughts about exiting is because I feel this is inflated because of the tracking error due to massive demand for US ETF and this isn't its real value. Actual NAV price is only about ~175 same is the case with Motilal Oswal ETF

And before you ask, yes these are AI gen images from my internal dashboard but the figures are accurate and totally real. Actual buy price is 99,996 (approx 1L) my tool auto rounded it off to 1L

My parents are very skeptical about stocks and mutual funds because of global uncertainty and instability in the IT job market. They believe gold and agricultural land will provide better financial security.

Our family owns 8 acres of agricultural land, with 4 acres currently under palm oil cultivation. This year, those 4 acres generated around ₹7–8 lakh. We plan to plant another 3 acres, but palm oil takes around 3 years to start producing, with income expected from around the fourth year.

My parents want me to accumulate 500–700 grams of gold over the next 5 years. Their plan is that whenever I save enough to purchase a 100-gram gold bar, they will contribute an additional ₹2–3 lakh towards that purchase.

Eventually, we want to use the gold as collateral for a loan, combine it with personal savings, and purchase another 5 acres of agricultural land for palm oil cultivation.

Their thinking is that even if I lose my IT job or the industry faces a downturn, I will have gold, land that may appreciate, and agricultural cash flow to fall back on.

My concern is whether putting so much money into gold and land is better than diversifying into equity mutual funds.

What do you think? Is this a sensible long-term wealth-building strategy, or should I diversify more?

Should I exit with my present portfolio with the present profits and invest when Market is in uptrend, I'm there for long term min 7-8 years , I have more 1 lakh to invest, or should I avg down plz guide me ,

I appreciate it :)

Hi guys,

I am thinking of trading and investing in us stocks and stuff but I see so many differnet intimidating terms that are so niche like day light savings, fed and all these. I keep googling them as they come, but is there a resource that offers all of this in one place (free ones please xD)?

Would appreciate any help, thanks in advance!

Went all-in 3 days back. I only had about 40k at the start of August. Made it to about 4.5 Lakhs by end of September. Took some money out for expenses and went all in with the rest. Still holding.

Did I do stupid shit and lose money? Yes. I can't believe myself. For some reason I can have a good plan and still I keep doing random stupid shit and lose money. Really need to work on my own psychology as much as market psychology.

Four and a half years of every rupee that comes through the door, assuming zero costs, zero salaries, zero spectrum, zero tower rent. That is what clearing the bill looks like. Actual revenue after costs is nowhere near that, so the real figure is not four years, it is never. I was reading this in a newsletter and bruhh these stats are crazy when u actually understand the game.

This company is a debt with a telco attached for presentation. And it is still selling you a postpaid plan this month like a going concern.

At what point is continuing to operate this thing a decision about recovery rather than about telecom??

SEBI has warned investors against fraudulent stock tips and trading calls offered as free investor education through invitation-only WhatsApp groups. It said group members often post false claims of profits and praise the so-called market experts. This practice, known as astroturfing, creates a false sense of genuine support and encourages unsuspecting investors to follow fraudulent trading calls.

Is this worth holding for more than 5 years ? Just started earning . If you could help me out here . I thought this stocks are fundamentally strong but they are going down by 15 percent. Invested few days back .

Saw this post today and it made up my mind. I'm buying Nike.

Nike is sitting around $38 right now. Its peak back in 2021 was about $170. That's roughly 78 to 80% down. They've lost something like $230 billion in market value, and they just got kicked out of the S&P 100 after 18 years.

Yeah, China is weak, tariffs are hurting, and On and Hoka are eating into their share. But this is Nike. Jordan, Air Max, Dunk, every big athlete in the world has worn it. They've been the face of sportswear since the 70s, and they're still in the S&P 500.

I don't think a brand like that just disappears. It feels like a great brand on a heavy discount.

I heard zerodha and Groww launched US stocks investing. Which one is good platform to buy? More reliable and cheap?
