RBI reportedly recommends:
Capital account transactions: Reduce the LRS limit from $250,000 to $0.
Current account transactions: Reduce the limit to $50,000.
Education & healthcare: Kept outside these proposed restrictions.
These are reported recommendations, not necessarily final government policy.

The discussion around AI layoffs has clearly shown the gross incompetence in top management of these companies.

They clearly dont know what happens in their own UT departments, people getting fired over not being able to utilise enough tokens, when in reality the coders who wrote their own codes were the best ones, and the ones "token-maxxing" were the incompetent ones.

Microsoft, Google and most hyperscalers have more than 70% of their GPUs sitting in warehouses- according to Ed Zitron.

Currently AI cost is being subsidized heavily by the investors, when the claude subscription will cost 2 lakhs Rs per month for a simple chatbot - this cost is basically what claude needs to charge its existing users to break even in terms of profit.

Except for a few companies who adopted local AI models and did not do immediate layoffs, and used AI in a very productive manner, best example Valve Corporation

I fear what will happen of these company IT departments when IT will have to code manually and we wont have the developers which were fired due to AI

As reported in Wall Street Journal, US is planning to re-start the war in Iran post mid terms. The wording used is short intense war, same as before 28 Feb starting of war, which stated war will last 96 hours.

Given Netanyahu’s block in Israel is not getting majority and Republicans(Trump) might lose both house, the assessment might change but war seems to be incoming because massive US interceptor missiles are being taken to Israel as detected on flight tracking website.. so please everyone plan accordingly, this might be a reason why Indian market is down

I bought this 1 share for like ~55 rupees and during that time I don’t have much money, like my pocket money got exhausted(I was 19M and today I’m 20)…still I can mostly buy shares of prices around 300 at max😗… but looking at portofolio after every 3months got me excited and sad at the same time… but anyways…

RIL still holds 60 percent of JIO as per google so why is RIL going down despite JIO listing i am not able to understand this. How much is dilution impact.

I’m 20 and new to investing. I plan on investing 30k every month through an SIP in the Bandhan Nifty 50 Index Fund.

Should I listen to my mom and give her the money? She says she’ll put it in a chit fund that offers a 10% p.a. return with no tax. Or should I trust my gut and stick to SIPs?

I can also do 15k in chit fund and 15k in SIP.

My risk appetite is very low because I come from a family that believes stock market is gambling.

What should I do?

Quit options after seeing 100% 200% 300% monthly jumps. Today I could've made 30% of my capital in 5 mins but I froze.

I'm not scared of losing - I traded fearlessly for 3 months. But suddenly before every trade my mind goes "what if it goes against me? what if I lose today?"

Crazy part is I've only traded 20 days in the last 60 trading days and all 20 were green. Not a single f*cking red day. And now I'm feeling scared for no reason why?

Anyone been through this?

Death cross = 50-day SMA falls below the 200-day SMA.

Nifty 50 daily data, 2012–2026:

- 9 completed death crosses (Aug 2013 – Jan 2025). One year later: higher 9/9, median +13%.

- March 2020: the death cross came on 19 Mar, the lowest close was 23 Mar (2 trading days later). +78% a year after the cross.

- 10 golden crosses: they appeared a median 18% above the 1-year low. Higher a year later in 8 of 10.

Takeaway: both averages lag by design. Useful for trend context, poor for timing exits.

Limits: small sample, Nifty rose over the period (flatters any "hold" result), index not stocks, price only.

Not advice. Happy to hear criticism.

With the bumper IPO listing gains of JIO, which was heavily marketed by all brokers and social media delivered exceptional listing gains.

Jio has more market cap now then Airtel. Bharti Airtel stock has holdings of their Africa business, Indus Towers stake included in the valuation.

I am afraid now there will be blind application rush for all IPO going forward by common people without understanding it's implications.

Inaugurated its South Korea facility ahead of schedule, to make high-purity chemicals for photoresists and semiconductor packaging materials

Property, plant and equipment: ₹954.5 cr vs ₹582.8 cr at FY26 end, showing heavy capex

Market reaction

The stock rose about 13-14% to roughly ₹3,796, near its 52-week high of ₹3,900

Takeaways

Margin expansion is the headline. EBITDA grew about twice as fast as revenue, driven by a richer product mix and higher gross margin.

Growth is concentrated in pharma intermediates and CDMO, which are lumpy and customer-driven. Specialty Chemicals is shrinking but is small.

The guidance math is worth noting. With H1 revenue up 49%, a full-year target of about 30% implies H2 growth well below H1's pace, so either guidance is conservative or growth is expected to slow.

Q2 margin of 40.3% is at the top of the 38-40% guided range, so margins could ease in H2.

The South Korea semiconductor chemicals plant adds a new growth leg, but it's early-stage and carries ramp-up risk.

Capex is rising fast, so watch return ratios and cash flow.

Every one of these lists says the same thing: IT/AI, renewables, electronics, infrastructure, healthcare, financials. And the growth numbers are real. The government’s capex this year is ₹12.2 lakh crore, and electronics exports hit $22.2 billion in the first half of FY26.

But a fast-growing sector doesn’t automatically mean good returns. By the time everyone’s talking about it, a lot of the growth is usually already in the price.

IT is the obvious example. It’s on every “growth” list, and it still fell up to 3% on Tuesday over an AI IPO headline. Same sector, but the thing driving the growth story is also the thing people worry could replace the work.

So how do you pick? Do you start with the sector and then find companies, or start with the company and ignore the sector? And is anyone here holding a “hot” sector from two or three years ago? How did it work out?

So apparently US markets are open like most of the time during a day because of pre-market and after-hours trading. I was wondering if it’s possible to trade or place orders during that time.

Like US pre market is open when it’s afternoon in India, it’d be just easy then to do all of that during actual market which starts in the evening.

Does any app allow that?

Posting 10 memes on Tai and PM wont help in deciding which stocks to buy or sell. Same with just rants on government's policies. Very limited discussion on direct stocks is happening in this sub. There are so many subs for discussion on government and individual political leaders.
