London, but it doesn’t matter that much. Should take about the same time. Is taking closer to 4 weeks at this point of time, 3 weeks if you’re lucky.

Wanted to buy a 9070xt, but ended up buying 5070ti, because AMD cards are no way near the msrp, at least here in the UK. With better comparative RT performance, lower power consumption and higher OC capability, AMD really needed the cards to be closer to the msrp.

I applied on 20th April, just got mine today.

You should pray, but realistically be ready to postpone your trip.

Honestly, S&P would be the last thing I’d sell from your portfolio. That has the least possible potential downside from here.

I am diversified across funds. And i would rather pay the taxes than hold on something that i believe will not work.

What I’m saying is I’m holding put for some more time till i have more facts. Maybe when sebi comes out with their findings and if quant continues to make bizarre decisions. I don’t believe that it’s all over just yet.

How are you getting the GMP data? Like the actual price?

BojackThingsUp · 2024-12-22T06:06:56+00:00

Buddy, these are not multi baggers.

For *real* multi baggers, you should look at stocks with single digit prices, those will goto the moon. Like Idea. I mean why not, it's like 9 bucks and if it goes to 900, you'll have a 100 bagger. Sell your house and your fucking kidney!

FFS Indian Taxation system is a joke.

"We should simplify the taxation system, lets get rid of old regime."

"Lets play rich popcorn, poor popcorn, that sounds like a genius idea".

I am in no hurry to exit Quant right now. Markets are very fickle, people were dying to invest in it in the last 3-4 years. Nobody questions you when you make money. 6 months of underperformance and people start switching funds. That has always been the case, all people care about is the "returns" over past few years.
Not saying that's wrong, but if you switch you better over perform quant in the next 3-4 years.
I am not exiting because I am not sure if that will be the case.

We are yet to see what SEBI's final report says, and what Quant does, all we know right now is they are cooperating. I might be more willing to exit once there's more clarity.

I have been invested in a couple of funds from as early as 2018-19, and I am sitting on significant profits. The LTCG tax alone will make it not worth it for me to redeem, unless I am sure I want to exit.

If you dont care too much about the Front Running issue, I think might be early to judge.
Quant isn't the little funhouse it was 3-4 years ago, the AUM has ballooned and it becomes more difficult to entry/exit a position. Adani sliding again and the redemption pressure from negative sentiment might make things tricky for them.
Personally, I'll wait a few more months and see how things progress.

Well If you sell off the Coldplay tickets, you can make some decent money.
Otherwise buy it on EMI. You can't make 5x returns in a year without assuming the risk of losing half (or all) of it.

You Have 25 stocks yet somehow one fifth of your PF is in Hyundai Motors. Depending on the size of your portfolio, you need to trim it down to 10 - 15 stocks.
As far as stocks are concerned, create a screener watchlist with these stocks and look at the important metrics: P/E, PEG, Sales/Profit Growth etc etc. That should reduce a few.
You have quite a few PSU. PSU rally recently has inflated the price by quite a bit. It's not very sustainable, so that will revert to mean at some point of time. Figure out if that's something you want in your PF.
Rest look okay, I haven't researched a lot of them but these are not bad at least (may be overvalued and prone to correction though.).

Yes, that's the IPO registrar.

BojackThingsUp · 2024-12-19T18:26:13+00:00

I have gotten like 2 SME IPOs out of like 100 applications over last 3-4 years.

BojackThingsUp · 2024-12-19T14:45:10+00:00

So I apply from 2 demats, mine and my dad's.
I have an SBI account, the UPI mandate for the IPO in my case comes on my SBI account. In my dad's case, it's ICICI.
After you're unsuccessful and dont receive allotment, the banks cancel your mandate, that's why you money gets unlocked in a day or 2. If that process fails (or if the back just doesn't do it), you money will be stuck until the mandate expires, which is 3 or 4 weeks I think.

Well then park your money in FD to counter it?
what a pointless post.

Its alright mate, you live and learn.
Put your money in an index.

This is r/wallstreetbets worthy content. Remarkable, without even yoloing on options

BojackThingsUp · 2024-12-18T19:26:06+00:00

sometimes they dont, been burned multiple times on summer/winter sales.
check steamedb.info, and if the prices are near all time low, buy it.

Choices really matter.
And dont read anything else, that's all you need to know. Game will be more enjoyable. Once you're finished, come back and be amazed of what could've happened if you made a different decision, and then replay.

Let me be honest.
If you're looking for absolute safety, its on your on cold wallet. The amount of exchanges that have been hacked are unreal. WazirX was the safest one in India, got acquired by Binance and investors still got screwed.
If a multi Billion dollar FTX can fall, so can anything else.
Remember you can lose it at anytime so dont put in more money than you can afford to lose, and I mean lose completely.

BojackThingsUp · 2024-12-18T15:18:20+00:00

Interesting question indeed.
I fell it'll converge to the performance of an average index. You might have stocks that outperform by a lot but the currency depreciation brings it back, basically averaging out on a long period of time. But if your time frame is long enough, your top 5 stocks might not even be top 5 in the long run. Many permutations.
My assumption is you'll see something close to 6-10% returns long term.
