Two of the large markets (Taiwan and South Korea) are AI/Chips market which have gone up more than 100% in the last one year. Such wild and euphoric moments lead to significant correction. I think these markets are now heading for a big corrections.
In the same way Gold went up more than 100% from Jan’25 to Jan’26 due to euphoria. Thereafter it corrected from around $ 5500 to around $ 4000 currently.
Indian equity market peaked out in Sep’24, corrected/consolidated in the last 21 months, I think Indian equity market is heading for a meaningful rise in coming months and years.

Her name is Subhasini Mistry.
She was married at the age of twelve. By the time she was around twenty-three, her husband Sadhan Chandra, a vegetable vendor near Kolkata, had died from a treatable illness.
The family could not afford medical care.
She was left with four children, no formal education and almost no money.
In the months that followed, the family slipped into extreme poverty. At one point, she had to place her eldest son in an orphanage because she could not feed him.
After her husband’s death, she made a promise to herself.
No one else in her village would die because they were too poor to afford treatment.
For a woman who could not read or write, it seemed impossible.
But she started anyway.
She worked as a domestic servant. She worked as a farm labourer. She sold vegetables on the roadside, the same work her husband had done.
For nearly twenty years, she saved whatever she could.
Part of that money went toward educating her son Ajoy. He eventually became a doctor.
With her savings, she bought a small plot of land in Hanspukur.
In the 1990s, with her son treating patients and villagers contributing whatever they could, she opened a small medical centre there.
They called it Humanity Hospital.
It began in a single room.
Today, it has dozens of beds and treats hundreds of patients every week, many of them free of charge.
In 2018, the woman who had never received a formal education was awarded the Padma Shri by the President of India.
She could not save her husband.
So she spent the next four decades helping thousands of other families save theirs.
Follow for stories India deserves to remember.
I don’t care about the rest. But Saayoni Ghosh, TMC MP, posted a meme showing a condom being put on a shivling. It shook me to my innermost being. I had filed a police complaint against her at Rabindra Sarobar PS, Kolkata - predictably with no results. Then she sung a song as part of TMC’s election campaign, which said she had the Kaaba in her eyes, Madina in her heart.
For Lord Shiva’s sake, do not have anything to do with her. @narendramodi@AmitShah@BJP4India
Dr @swapan55 inherits a Bengal wrecked by financial ruin (₹8 lac crore debt), anti-corporate policies (7,000 companies have taken flight), and insane mismanagement (₹5,800 crore for Minority Affairs versus ₹80 crore for Science & Tech).
But if anyone can, he can. Best wishes.
Her name is Pragya Singh.
She is 29 years old. She lives in Naubasta, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh.
On May 5 2026 she and her husband Manish Agrahari boarded the Nanda Devi AC Superfast Express, Train 12402, at Dehradun. They were returning home after a Kedarnath pilgrimage. Coach B2. Seats 59 and 64.
Sometime after midnight, between Bahadurpur outer signal and Laksar station in Haridwar district, the family fell asleep.
When they woke up, Pragya’s seat was empty.
Manish searched every coach. She was not there. Her phone was switched off. Her last known location had pinged near Laksar.
A missing FIR was filed at Laksar Kotwali. GRP, RPF and local police have searched the tracks, nearby areas, hotels and hospitals.
Five days have passed. She has not been found.
When her family checked the CCTV cameras at Laksar railway station, most of them were not working. No footage of her movement exists.
Her family confronted Laksar Station Superintendent K R Meena over this. There was no satisfactory answer.
If you have any information contact her husband Manish Agrahari directly on 7985366726 or call Railway helpline 139.

Happy International Women’s Day. Sharing inspiring story of Mohura Ali near Numaligarh, a road built in 1939 by Assam’s first woman contractor, Mohini Rajkumari, who also appeared in Assam’s first film Joymoti. More than a road, it remains a powerful symbol of women’s empowerment
₹53,000 crore - whooping STT collected last year from markets
STT was meant to remove capital gains....but now it is double taxation....!!
This is unnecessary burden on investors...
Either remove LTCG or remove STT....can't have both..
Retweet if you agree..
#abolishSTT
So many posts requesting finance minister to reduce or remove capital gains taxes. Once I used to be part of those who asked these things from finance minister.
Now I'm clear that this government would do only what it wants to do. This is the government which brought back long term capital gains taxes, heavily started taxing dividends, kept STT along with capital gains tax and has been steadily increasing the tax rates.
Government's logic is ultimately passive income should be taxed on par with active income. Why a salary earner should pay more taxes than an investor? Should it not be the same?
There are can be arguments for and against this logic. But it is clear the government is keen to implement this logic. I don't expect any tax reduction. Would be pleasantly surprised if there are no tax increases.
Welfare schemes are increasing day by day. The money has to come only from tax payers. It's unwise on our part to expect government to reduce taxes. If it doesn't increase it further, that itself is a good news.
Have less or no expectations. This would avoid frustrations and disappointments.
You earn a high salary. You are smart. You think this means you should pick your own stocks. You are wrong. The skill that makes you rich in your profession is not the skill that makes you rich in the markets. Let me help resolve your dilemma - mutual fund or stocks?
• Time Fallacy
Rajiv Thakkar makes a brilliant point. If you earn 50 lakhs or 1 crore a year your time has a specific hourly rate. Spending 20 hours a week analysing balance sheets to beat the index by 2 % is a loss making activity. You are effectively working for minimum wage in your second job as a fund manager.
• Information Asymmetry
You are competing against machines and teams of analysts who track businesses 24x7. They know the management. You may read a quarterly report 3 days after it is published.
• Psychological Cost
Direct stock picking requires an iron stomach. Can you handle a 40 % drawdown in your portfolio while also have an argument with your boss at work. Most professionals panic sell at the bottom because they cannot manage the stress of two high pressure environments simultaneously.
• Here is why I although a professional but still invest directly in stocks :-
• Investing is like hobby to me
• I enjoy reading annual reports on a Sunday afternoon (and it doesn’t feel like work).
• I enjoy finance & human psychology books.
• I understand valuations
• I have seen bear markets and know I can handle them
• I believe in compounding and understand that impact of even a 1% expense ratio on my portfolio over the long term
• I can keep emotions away while investing - I don’t have FOMO seeing my old stock become a multibagger. Neither do I panic to see a stock down by 40% in my portfolio (infact Network 18 is a part of my portfolio and down by 40% right now)
If you can’t stick to what I’ve mentioned above, you should know the mutual fund advantage:-
A good mutual fund buys you leverage. You are hiring a specialised team for a fraction of the cost. They handle the volatility. They handle the rebalancing. You focus on your career where your primary cash flow is generated. Let the compounding happen in the background.
And you can focus your mental energy on increasing your professional income. That is the highest ROI activity you can do.
Morality and Conflict of Interest – A Test for All Stakeholders
SEBI’s proposal to reduce the Total Expense Ratio (TER) will impact both Asset Management Companies (AMCs) and Mutual Fund Distributors (MFDs) — leading to lower earnings for both.
This raises an important question for Registered Investment Advisers (RIAs):
Will they voluntarily lower their advisory charges by at least 0.15% to align with the spirit of cost reduction for investors?
If RIAs continue to charge the same fees despite lower fund costs, it challenges the very narrative of being “investor-first” and “conflict-free.”
Investors should seek clarity from their advisers —
Are they sharing the benefit of reduced TER, or retaining the full advisory fee?
In the end, true transparency isn’t about regulation — it’s about intent.
RIAs have opportunity to show true intent or true colour!
Dear FM Madam @nsitharaman ji,
GST has two slabs - 5% & 18%
Please consider:
STCG - 15% upto 1 year
LTCG - 10% upto 2 years
LTCG - 0% for more than 2 years (To reward Long Term Investors)
On Behalf of Investors,

In Pahalgam, terrorists trained by Pakistan, scanned id's, opened pants, checked pen¡ses, asked people to recite the kalma & based on religion (just like this picture) shot 26 innocent people dead ! BCCI is allowing Cricket with these fu(k¡ng a$$h○les !
#NoCricketWithTerror
Dear FM Madam @nsitharaman ji,
Make LTCG ZERO if equity held > 2 years !!! Otherwise 10%. STCG at 15%.
STT is anyway bonus for you.
This would encourage Long Term Investing for DIIs, FIIS & Retail in Bharat !!!
On behalf of Crores of Retail Investors,

Dear Nitin Gadkari ji,
When we ask you to provide Pure Unleaded Petrol as an option in the Bunks across Bharat apart from E20, it is only because 95% of vehicles are not built for E20. You know that. We know that. For the same price, we need Pure Option.
Let me clarify on behalf of all.
- We don't get paid for posting this, infact we post this so that you can rethink and take action.
- We are not part of any petroleum lobby, just plain tax paying citizens of Bharat.
- You have still not instructed Vehicle Insurance companies to put a clause saying that they will accept all claims when E20 is being filled in all vehicles. Pls do so at the earliest.
- The Non E20 (maybe E10 or E0) price should be same so that customers can fill what suits their vehicles.
- Please ask Ministry of Petroleum to be more accomodating & respectful of Citizens needs.
- Please take responsibility for this sir. It affects more than 95% of Bharat Vehicles.
We have a lot of respect for you @nitin_gadkari ji. You are one of the most sensible in the team,
Please do not call us a lobby and reduce your status sir. Tagging our PM @narendramodi ji as well.
As always, I am sure you will introspect and take necessary action.
On behalf of all Indians who still own Non E20 Vehicles,

I appealed to the home Minister to call off the Ind-Pak Asia Cup match. Went unheard
To the sports Minister
To the I&B Minister
to the IT Minister
To the cricketers
To BCCI
To sponsors
To broadcasters
To streamers
All went unheard
Now I appeal to the citizens of the country to not let anyone profiteer over the blood of our Indians.
Remember Pahalgam.
🚨 Kerala High Court’s big move 🚨
No Toll on Bad Roads!💥
✅ Toll collection suspended until roads are repaired
✅ Every pothole will be counted
✅ Engineers to be held accountable
Finally, a step towards real road safety & accountability. 🚗🛣️
Shouldn’t this rule apply across all of India?
