Rapid rise in number of retail traders in derivatives has SEBI, RBI & experts concerned. Despite massive losses & risk, investors are using savings or taking loans in the hope of profits.
The concern is not that 2025’s rally was irrational, but that it may be difficult to repeat. Outlooks remain anchored to AI investment and growth without reigniting inflation.
If deal goes through, Greece will be 2nd foreign country to procure vehicle. Morocco was first; TATA Group has set up manufacturing unit there with minimum 30 percent indigenous content.
Many of you might think I got something so wrong in National Interest pieces written this year. I might disagree! But some deserve a Mea Culpa. I’d deal with the most recent this week.
There are three truths of trading:
(1) The game is rigged
(2) Odds are not in your favour
(3) The house always wins.
There supposedly “innocent” fools knew these rules, yet they believed that after 5 reels, they will still game the market.
Anyone sympathising with these losers must know that had they tried to convince them that they will lose money one day before their option expiry, these losers would have in return given them trading knowledge they got from podcasts of the bald stupider Abhisekh Kar.
Anyone who has interacted with these dumbasses while they were in euphoria of making millions and after reality hit them would understand that there is no other way to make them understand their mistake, but with large loss and mockery thereafter.
Had they been successful in their gamble, they would have credited it to their gutter analysis and super intelligence, and showed off on social media luring new batch of stupids. Once the results are out, they seek sympathy from everyone. It is actually good that this pyramid scheme stops as soon as possible.
Futures and options are indeed for large organisations because they are essentially ways of hedging. Retail traders can never have the risk appetite needed for them.
There should be higher STT on higher volume transactions in the stock market. Like multiple slabs. And also multiple slabs for Capital gains. So, that ultra-big players pay more tax, and are forced to slow down their pump and dump schemes, and give small investors time to get out of the market. Big players armed with supercomputers, AI and algos, must be taxed more.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
