ETF's that cover the Indian stock market and have a low expense ratio I'm reentering the Indian stock market after a hiatus of about 20 years. I have been investing in the USA stock market consistently . I'm looking at purchasing an etf similar to that of the S&P 500 In the USA stock market. I think the closest index to the S&P 500 would be the nifty 100. I was looking for an etf with a low expense ratio, usually in the us stock market it's lower than 0.1 percent. Any recommendations? 4 3 replies
Biggest mistake people do in investing in stock market I have a college friend, who invested like 90 percent into stock market. In every outing we had last few years, he would suggest all other people in our group to invest heavily into equities We told multiple times we have 50 percent into equity, don't want to put more. Then he would take out calculator and tell how much we are losing and what's the inflation. He told apart from immediate expenses, everything must be in stocks. Now this guy started preparing plan for Eurotrip with his parents,... 4 6 replies
Lesson Learned the Hard Way As Jaun Elia sahab says : "Kaun samjha hai sirf baaton se, Sabko ek haadsa zaroori hai." I’ve realized the hard way that one should never get carried away by a bull run, no matter how promising it seems. During such periods, people often become greedy, assuming these high returns will last forever, and start pouring all their savings into mutual funds/stocks. However, most fail to consider the inevitability of a bear market until it actually hits. This is why diversification is crucial. The market performed exceptionally well from... 2 2 replies
Indian Investor lobby is responsible for India not having open ai's stake https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mARNIUJN27A Buyback, dividend being asked from companies in India on TV. Infosys had given grant for open ai in 2015, Vishal sikka was doing experiments and these people were asking for buy backs. Info would be having as much stake in open ai as much as msft has. But due to investor pressure wanting billing on qoq basis for all workers all the time, Vishal was let go. How does it affect you? People like me and you being minority investors don't really have much of choice and our... 4 1 replies
Right time to invest? I graduated and got a job last year. I started investing and learning more about it. I was little jealous about those who started investing during the covid phase. I pulled myself away from investing in stocks. I started SIP and I have been consistent. I kept some amount to invest in stocks when the time is right. Is this the perfect time or should I wait more? The best method I can think of is averaging the amount that I want to invest. (30% 20% 20% 20% 10%)... 3 3 replies

DeepSeek is just the new kid on the block. Market is just playing chinese whisper with each other to hype it up. Man. As an AI Engineer,. The deepseek hype is wayyyy overhyped. Deepseek beat O1, while openai already started releasing O3 which beats real humans at AGI tests. "Deepseek is cheap." No its not. Deepseek's parent company is a quant company who already had floors full of gpus for crypto mining and algorithmic machine learning. They used their existing stash of gpu and thats why their costs are so low. "Its open source." So? While you think open source would lead to less reliance of the industry on closed ai,... 2 0 replies

RBI’s ₹60K Crore Cash Infusion Into PSU Banks: A Warning Sign for the 2025 Budget? Just came across the news that the RBI has announced a massive ₹60,000 crore cash infusion into government banks. This is basically indirect liquidity support for DIIs (Domestic Institutional Investors), and it’s got me thinking – is this a preemptive move to stop the markets from tanking after the 2025 Union Budget? Historically, such moves signal that the government is preparing for something that might not sit well with the markets. My guess is the upcoming budget might have policies or announcements that could spook investors – maybe increased... 3 4 replies

The silence of Indian media on DeepSeek is deafening We rely on media to help us get timely information. Yet something world changing happened in the tech sector, which could have had a significant impact on the markets, and there was radio silence from newspapers, tv channels, twitter celebrities. Even now I haven't seen anyone tweeting about this. Those same journalists who tweet everytime Trump sneezes, just completely forgot to tell us that the world of tech has changed forever. Is there anyone we can trust? 4 19 replies

Pharma stocks/ETFs Amidst this correction (or bearish market), what's up with Pharma stocks? I would've thought that Pharma was a good sector with decent growth in the short and medium terms (long term surely), strong dollar supports exports, etc But they've taken a beating the past 2 days. Some downward movement was expected along with the overall market but I'm surprised at the severity. Any thoughts about pharma stocks in the short/medium term going forward? Would love to hear your inputs. (Disclosure - I bought some pharmabees on Friday and they're... 3 2 replies
