How is a hedge fund making money? I don't get it. Paytm is not on F&O. How will institutions get so much stock to short that they can make decent millions out of it?

Welcome to risk investing, some hedgefund is making money while this is falling too. So as a small investor quality is so important.

Regulatory risk is making me a little uneasy staying at PayTM now. I will obviously stick around to see if I get rewarded for the risk I am taking but I just want to understand how do you all think about regulatory risk?

How do you deal with uncertainty around regulatory risk?

Bharatpe saga continues

PAYTM Payments Bank essentially asked to shut shop. 

Afaik here are the few implications
1. Stock market will react in a bad way to them
2. Worst affected are going to be FasTag users who bought from PayTM.
3. No deposits / credits allowed in any account. Withdrawal is allowed. 
4. UPI not allowed after Feb

Paytm gets a shock from RBI

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

How do MF manage such shocks? 
Damn, didn't know that so many MF had exposure. I think many of them may not buy more if other payment players start poaching merchants. 

Intresting to see SBI payments reacting to news.

Tax harvesting is a strategy of selling your equity units to book long-term capital gains and reinvesting the proceeds in the same stock.

You have to pay tax @ 10% on long term gains(On gains >1L)  arising from sale of listed equity shares/mutual funds.

You can book profits on stocks held for more than 12 months upto Rs. 1 lakhs in a financial year, long term profits upto 1 Lakh in a FY are exempt from taxes under income tax act.
You can reinvest the proceeds again in the same stock hence having that stock in your long term portfolio.

LTCG: Held for >12 months

Please note you will be incurring a small amount in brokerage and other charges.

Tax harvesting- Save 10,000 in taxes before March ends

What are the stocks you are betting on for next 3 to 5 years and why. Stocks less than 3 years since ipo? Or names you don't hear from big investors.


Please do not add the blue chip stocks or brand stocks just for the sake of Commenting. 


Here are my bets: each of these stocks have >2 lakh investment amount (not final value) 

Inox india : cryogenic monopoly
Suzlon : holding since 4 INR price 
Vasa denticity : online dental monopoly
Ireda (got the ipo in hni category, haven't booked profit even at 400%+)
Bls e services (booked 75% profits from ipo at 250%)
Rate gain (data monopoly) 


Paytm (controversy max but still holding) sunk cost

People say you can't time the market but I am curious what is the junta on Grapevine thinking about investing in the current times. 

Also where do I invest now? I have some 1L to invest that would not impact my current liquidity.

🚨 Are you guys investing more or not?

Has anyone used Smallcase to invest here ? Is it worth paying the premium and enrolling ? Want to invest some lumpsum amount and need advice

Smallcase ? Good or Bad?

Before people jump into validation mode, I thought let’s do something ulta (opposite)🙃

Pick one of your worst investment mistakes (it can be a stock, RE, ULIP, relationx blah blah) 

My inputs - During 2021/22 real estate boom, I picked a real estate stonk (india bulls) as I thought it’s a growing sector and company will become beneficiary after all the sins they have committed in past. Bam! Over next 5 months stock crashed ~50% 🥲

Hi folks,
People who are investors here (not traders), where do you look for investment advice for stock picking? Like company analysis and recommendations for mid-long term for Indian stock market.

I know Capital India which does deep Analysis of companies for their paid community and releases recos. In US, there is one called ‘the motley fool’.

Any other recommendations?

stock market ‘investing’ recos

Could someone share some trusted recommendations? I don’t have too much time to follow the markets closely but would like someone to manage my portfolio or share calls based on technical analyses with me

Has any of you subscribed to a paid service for stock recommendations?

Analyst

P.S. Not seeking directions, just some sane advice. I was in a murky situation with PNB a few years ago, and I successfully managed to accumulate and now they are doing handsomely!

Paytm stocks lying in my holdings, every time I successfully accumulate more to average out my price, something goes south and the stocks crash. I have patience, and can accumulate some more. Any sound advice?

Growth Marketer

RBI is a big bully, everybody knows that. RBI has bullied the likes of HDFC, ICICI and a lot of fintech startups. All it wants is that these folks are compliant with the rules.

RBI is one of the most stringent Central banks in the world. This also ensures a lot of financial stability in the country, sometimes overdoing the regulations.

Once you fix the systems and comply with RBI, business is back to usual. This has been the trend in all the notices that have been sent across to all the different companies. Paytm should be no different.

Paytm has a book value of 205. In case the stock hits a few more lower circuits, in the words of Ashneer Grover, it'll be a "Screaming buy".

Every good opportunity comes with a lot of risk. The primary risk here is that Paytm doesn't get its act straight and RBI at the end of February imposes the actions that are mentioned in the circular.
 Next line in such a case. Well the money is lost but if they fix the necessary things within time then it's going to be a jackpot.

Catching falling knives is never easy, and it's bound to hurt you, but hey, "Risk He Toh Ishq He".

Next lower circuit is ~487rs 
The one after it is ~390rs.

I think anything under 500 is great price without the RBI impact. If it hits the circuit tomorrow, I'll start buying on Monday. If it doesn't, well, salary is already credited, so it's time for some risky investment.
