I talk about Money, Stock Market, Value Investing, and Travel. Invest with your own money, avoid MTF trading. Invest sensibly.

Since yesterday, I am unable to move past step 06. It says saving and then back to same page. Passport Seva is a PAIN in the @$$

Unable to renew the Passport. Tried 3 different applications

Called Passport Seva Helpline, that idiot deceived me to change URL from service1 to service2. Nothing happened.

Passport Seva is frustrating and full of sh*t

@RioMoussallem This is absolutely heartbreaking 💔.. My thoughts and prayers are with the innocent people of Lebanon.. 🇮🇳 I hope our Indian govt is able to send some humanitarian aid

This is what happening since many months now.

Google search rankings have been highly volatile, shuffling my site rankings like crazy. Someday, I am in top 4, the next day its on 15.

Does anyone even use Google search these days, especially after AI revolution?

The way things are setup, it feels to me that the govt. thinks the stock market is a satta bazaar and which is why it has created an unfavourable environment for the stock market.

FIIs are needed in the stock market. There should not be any second thoughts to it. But the government thinks otherwise. DIIs may absorb the FII selling pressure, but for the growth story, international participation is essential, and it applies to all countries willing to grow.

Banning Dream 11 (Fantasy money making games), increase in STT and other charges to discourage F&O trading, discouraging FII participation through STCG and LTCG says a lot about what the current govt thinks.

As long as this govt. is in power, Capital Gains tax won't get abolished or be lowered. Somewhere they feel that stock market has become a place for gamblers. Partly because India's youth has over leveraged MTF positions and incurred heavy losses through F&O trading. Govt. maybe in their own mind be thinking that such measures would keep the youth away from gambling or speculative trading.

Also, it seems that the govt. believes that stock market is overvalued, and there is scope for correction. I heard our FM say that on TV. (They may not say that now)

Plus, the whole FII story revolves around Rupee appreciation, more than Capital Gains tax. If Rupee comes back to 88 - 89 Rs Pper Dollar range, our stock market will head into a massive bull run, irrespective of Capital Gains tax situation.

Honourable @PMOIndia and @FinMinIndia

We are losing Foreign Capital of almost $1 Bn a day. Since July 2024, post hike in capital gain tax and STT, we have lost $100 Bn and our markets have become globally unattractive .we need patient risk capital to fund our growth story.

It’s undoing the good work done through various reforms.

A responsive govt like yours has always taken feedback on taxation - GST, Income tax and given relief.

I urge you to reconsider.

[Grumpy Don @cricmatters]

Let's hope for the best. I watch stock markets all day, mostly CNBC. Jaise hi Anuj ya Shreya ji bolti hai, hamare saath aaj judenge Complete Circle ke Gurmeet Chadha ji, i am all ears. Pata hai aaj naya jaanne milega.

As a small retail investor, I must take a moment to applaud your efforts Gurmeet ji.

Gurmeet Chadha and Raghav Chadha dono hi asli mudda utha te hein

@adamugarba @grok validate this video

[Grumpy Don @cricmatters]

@BeerBicepsGuy @RCBTweets This is not Virat Kohli. Based on the tattoo design visible for a brief second, it seems more likely that it is Jitesh Sharma

[Grumpy Don @cricmatters]

@HustleBitch_ @grok is this video AI generated?

[Grumpy Don @cricmatters]

@hvgoenka is that even a thing?

[Grumpy Don @cricmatters]

@dsharma9 @StocksResearch That is exactly why I am saying this. Save my Tweet, and come back 12 months later.

If you listen to management calls, and forward guidance + Iran situation especially, it's a stock to do SIP on.

[Grumpy Don @cricmatters]

@cadalukaanubhav Quite possible..

[Grumpy Don @cricmatters]

@darshitpatel84 People will buy, when the time is right. If the market is in a confirmed downtrend, why to buy. Disc - I am nibbling in very small quantities, with a view to hold atleast 18-24 months.
