No one is talking about that fact that: US has quietly become a Global Energy Superpower. Why would it go annex Venezuela, fight Iran war, have LATAM countries in its back pocket?
Well, to control energy.
Who will it sell it to? Ding, ding, ding....India.
India becomes a US colony that would simply consume energy from the US.
Enough indications are already there, given how foreign relations are developing.
If the economic war in the next decade is about AI/Tech. We need energy to support it.
India will import both its tech + energy from the US.
At this stage it is fairly obvious: we have no energy/tech sovereignty. And, this difference will only compound.
See the writing on the wall. And, restructure your portfolios.
Diversification is not buying 5 mutual funds. Diversification is ability to handle geopolitical events that will shape your next decade.
🚨14,000 GOLD⁉️
🔥DEUTSCHE BANK GOLD FORECAST SHOCKS PM MARKETS⚠️
While Deutsche Bank's $8,000 Gold Target grabbed all the headlines, the German bank actually outlined a scenario in which gold prices could hit $14,000/oz if emerging markets' FX reserves rise:
- Yes, first kill all investment options in India.
- Then ban investors from investing abroad.
- Then make donations to PM Care funds mandatory
All money goes to government, they decide allocation of everything.
Na rahega paisa, na rahega investment karne ka jhanjhat 😂
I'll admit this might sound odd coming from me, maybe even clichéd. But it's something I've been sitting with for a while, so here goes.
When I started out, like most people, I had a simple wealth goal. I'd actually written it down: hit ₹5 crore, retire in Goa, beach shack, done. That was the dream.
After the Zerodha journey, I find myself on a very different side of that equation, and the dark inequalities of wealth and opportunity are harder to ignore than ever. We all know the numbers on inequality. The concentration of wealth among the top 1% is severe and getting worse, and it's even starker among the top 0.1%. The post-2008 era of rising asset prices has likely made this worse, because the people who hold financial assets are, by definition, people who already have money.
This isn't unique to India. Barring a few exceptions, it's a global phenomenon.
I'm cautious about attributing every socio-political problem we face today to inequality, but it's hard to deny the role it's played in the political upheavals we're seeing across the world. History rarely shows that sustained, extreme inequality ends well. To me, it increasingly feels like sitting in a car with the brakes cut, watching a cliff approach. Btw, all of this even before AI, which has a non-trivial probability of making things worse.
I'll stop short of prescribing solutions. It's too easy to reach for simple answers to complicated problems, and that's a separate conversation entirely. But I think we need to collectively acknowledge this: wealth that just sits in financial assets whose value keeps compounding upward doesn't do much good for anyone beyond those who already have it. And if that wealth isn't in motion, if it isn't doing some social good, the fabric that holds us together will only continue to fray and lead to cynicism, resentment, and worse yet, nihilism. We're already seeing all of it.
What I am saying is that even if a portion of that wealth were channelled into things that could materially improve lives, that seems worth doing. Hoarding wealth, in the grand scheme of things, doesn't really help anyone.
Silver is up well over 100% from 52 weeks ago. The correction did not even reach the 200-day moving average.
When I go through the table with all the silver market data, I see more than enough evidence that this silver bull market still has a long way to run.
A trader FY25 P&L:
Profit: ₹75L
STT: ₹1.32 Cr
Exchange: ₹90L
GST + Stamp + rest: ₹25L
Net: -₹2 Cr
Everyone ate 7 Course meal
Government ate.
Exchange ate.
Broker ate.
Except him. He was the meal!
He's the side hustle.
Government and brokers are the main business
I used to be a domestic investor. Then, I moved 70% of my portfolio abroad.
This was single handedly the best move I made in investing.
1) Made close to 2.5Cr in profits
2) Made close to 1Cr in Options income
3) Made close to 8% of entire portfolio (around 80-90Lakhs) in USD appreciation to INR
All this was last 1 year.
India is an amazing market to invest. But, I will only invest big chunks when there is enough discount.
Till then, quite happy owning monopoly tech stocks. Writing covered calls, and generating a solid cash flows.
Everyone should try it. And, see if it makes sense for them.
I am 101% sure everyone in Germany is now regretting even more the perhaps most idiotic economic strategic decision ever made by a government in modern history
Stagflation is written all over this move today.
Gold decisively decoupling from overall equities and rising in step with oil and other hard assets.
So much for the liquidation narrative — it’s gone completely quiet now.
Don’t believe everything you read.
Metals remain supply-constrained, historically underowned relative to financial assets, and deeply undervalued in a world where neutral assets are in high demand as governments rush to build critical mineral reserves.
The defining difference from the 1970s?
A Fed with no real capacity to raise rates.
Game on for hard assets.

7 signs of a good trader:
- Doesn’t trade on the basis of news
- Ignores everyone else’s opinions
- Only uses one strategy, consistently
- Doesn’t watch multiple screens
- Trades only one-two assets
- Keeps his profit/losses private

There are many more signs but these are the ones that I often use to identify a good or a bad trader.
