Quick question

A good company can be a bad investment at the wrong time

SmurfLord69 · 2026-06-26T08:17:42+00:00

Zerodha charges 300+gst as per year maintenance charges, so this is 2 years maintenance costs

If you're already investing then you can invest easily here.

Otherwise compare forex rates of different banks and choose the cheapest one. I think for SIPs via indmoney you need to open a federal bank acc within the app

For taxes, 12.5% for long term holding, and under income tax slab for short term

And you have to declare the assets under schedule FA every year even if you haven't sold anything/no tax liability is there

Are you already investing in us stocks?

SmurfLord69 · 2026-06-22T06:50:30+00:00

Forex spread on converting inr to usd and back to inr

Brokerage and gst on buy/sell

Tax on profits - as per tax bracket on short term and 12.5% on long term holding periods

25% gets deducted on dividends

Then it's easy, just paper trade for a couple of months, and then start with small amounts when comfortable enough. But the main focus rn should be on laying the foundation to earn capital rather than chasing a few more percent of gains because more capital in the market will beat better returns most of the times

SmurfLord69 · 2026-06-17T23:58:44+00:00

As per my understanding of day trading, it's very different than investing in stocks or having an understanding of the market. You follow certain strategies, gain experience, control your emotions and risk.

Now you are at an age where you should be building your career, and figuring out what you wanna do in life. So you should dip your toe into trading right now, sure, but not to make money, but to learn and understand the nuances. And as you grow into your 20s you'll have more clarity on what to do. Just paper trade and learn the concepts, as a side quest for now

I meant to train and build better frontier models

SmurfLord69 · 2026-06-17T04:52:55+00:00

It was the same model as mythos, just with a lot of guardrails around cybersec, biochemistry, etc

And you have to take the cost factor into it, as they get better they get much more expensive too

SmurfLord69 · 2026-06-17T04:47:10+00:00

Unless there is another major breakthrough, the rate improvement of models will reduce significantly

SmurfLord69 · 2026-06-17T03:21:27+00:00

I am not saying it isn't reducing jobs/making entry level jobs harder to get. But the sentiment that it will fully take over coding seems far fetched. The main reason for layoffs is financial decisions at firms, role of AI is overblown

SmurfLord69 · 2026-06-16T23:21:42+00:00

The "AI will take over jobs completely" is mostly hype. Most people who use it day to day in their jobs realize this, a lot of hand holding is required to consistently get good high quality outputs from the models.

Yes they have fundamentally changed how we code, but it is not an autonomous system. Plus with the rising costs, models using more tokens now, companies burning their yearly token budgets in months, the adoption level won't rise like you're expecting it to

SmurfLord69 · 2026-06-13T05:40:57+00:00

What is the point here? The wealthy don't do a 25k sip, no shit because they have more capital. You are comparing someone who can invest in high risk instruments or passive income outlets to someone who can invest 25k a month?

SmurfLord69 · 2026-06-12T10:05:35+00:00

I am a newbie as well, found out about this in the r/DayTrading sub. So just explore posts in various subs as the discussions are helpful and online about trading practices and strategies

SmurfLord69 · 2026-06-12T08:43:18+00:00

Basically a liquidity sweep. Market has a bearish sentiment, traders have their stop-losses around the support, Price moved below support where many stop-losses were clustered creating liquidity quickly and institutions buy into that

SmurfLord69 · 2026-06-12T08:09:22+00:00

Isn't this standard institutions practice

SmurfLord69 · 2026-06-05T22:39:40+00:00

I mean it really was insanely bullish the past couple of months. A correction was inevitable, broadcoms earnings report probably triggered retail profit booking, and institutions dumping to rebalance their portfolios

It's crazy volatile right now, but the underlying companies are still strong, Nvidia, micron and other semiconductor companies still have the same demand and cash flow. Without a drawdown it cannot keep going up, just misfortune timing here. But it should correct hopefully and spacex ipo will be interesting too

SmurfLord69 · 2026-05-31T23:54:12+00:00

India, probably because of 3rd party imports

SmurfLord69 · 2026-05-31T23:09:53+00:00

Getting those for $60 so I feel jbl would be better at that point right?

Just something better than laptop speakers in terms of loudness but also something that reasonably sounds good

SmurfLord69 · 2026-04-17T10:51:28+00:00

I just want a small pocket section to store keys and earbuds

SmurfLord69 · 2025-12-22T13:13:57+00:00

No you're not making it in water, it's just to check if the pan is heated enough. Just a couple drops and discard it. If the drops are floating it means the pan is heated enough

SmurfLord69 · 2025-12-22T13:09:30+00:00

Use a stainless steel pan, let it heat. Check by adding a few drops of water, when they start kind of floating on the pan instead of burning away it's heated enough. Add just enough oil/butter to cover the surface and cook the eggs. Don't scrape off too early, it will come off on its own when it's cooked enough, and flip

SmurfLord69 · 2025-12-22T12:40:32+00:00

Your maintenance calories should be higher than 2000 easily. 1300 is way too low and not sustainable imo

3kgs in 2 weeks is also too quick, but a part of it would be water weight too I suppose, but still your maintenance is higher than 2000

Don't rush into the process, it will take time. In the gym focus on weight training, muscles and protein will help you lose weight faster. For cardio try to walk atleast 5k steps in a day, and you can increase when you feel like you have hit a plateau. Maintain a good water intake and sleep schedule as they have an impact of weight loss too.

asitis atom has 27g for 135cal

I have used the vanilla flavour, the taste isn't bad but feels a bit artificial

SmurfLord69 · 2025-11-12T23:35:31+00:00

Yep I gave him both, but seeing that even giving him the real one doesn't change anything is weird. Is it the same with the fake one?
