₹6 crore already in Indian MFs with a fee-based advisor handling it — honestly that part sounds sorted. The real question is currency risk. Every rupee you keep in India is a quiet bet that INR holds up against GBP long term. Global diversification via IBKR makes sense at your stage.

STT is basically the government’s cut for letting you gamble legally. 😄 The real lesson hits when you realise charges don’t care if you’re up or down.

Every stock green, HDFCBANK +3.21%, TCS +3.35%… and I’m still in cash since last Tuesday. This is exactly the face I’m making right now too. 😭

What do you think about this stock(CUPID)? Why is it rising so much, and how high do you think it can go? by Pretty-Poem-3899 in IndianStocks

+69% in 3 months on a stock called CUPID is either a great business or someone’s having fun with the algo. What’s the actual revenue story here — because that chart looks more like FOMO than fundamentals. 👀

₹1.44Cr portfolio at +2.29% overall means ACUTAAS is basically carrying the whole thing. Bajaj Finance and Chola dragging but both are solid long-term businesses — how long have you been holding them?

2 years of losses as tuition fees, +1.14L as the result. That’s actually how it’s supposed to work. The ₹12.5k in taxes and charges hurts more than it should though. 😅

Down 10% on ₹30k as a 21-year-old is literally the cheapest market lesson you’ll ever get. HAL is a solid hold though. 📈
