Time to exit Quant I was one of the early adopters of the Quant story back in 2019. Sandeep Tandon has made me a ton of profit in the past as I invest in 5 Quant funds across my family of eight. And I do not make a great deal out of the Front Running allegations back in June 2024, their ethics may have been wobbly but a fund must be judged solely on its financial metrices. But now for the first time in nearly 6 years I am forced to question their... 2 10 replies

CPSE ETF investors: Are you planning to hold on to it through 2025? The ETF has tanked terribly since its peaks this Jul-Aug, and looks like most fund-manager surveys are indicating that market is more interested in IT, Banks etc., for 2025 but not in PSUs anymore (especially Power, Energy, Infra stocks where CPSE has 80% exposure in). Therefore, are you considering holding on to any existing investments in CPSE ETF, or are you planning to reallocate? If reallocate, where are you considering? 5 3 replies

However, the RSI is showing a downward trend, signaling a loss of momentum and forming a bearish RSI divergence. Additionally, the RMI (Rohit Momentum Indicator) has generated a sell signal. If the stock breaches its... 5 1 replies

Why Parag Parikh Flexi Cap has such high level of Debt. Parag Parikh Flexi Cap is primarily an equity-focused fund, but I’ve noticed it has a surprisingly high level of debt exposure.

Link InTime is absolute worst POS. Barely responsive and made me lose almost 5k in various fees in order to dematerialise old shares, and simply sends me a return saying i have to do it again, and absolutely no extra guidance on how to do it better. I have shares of Aroni chemicals of my grandpas, which became Saraswati Commercials. I still have the Aroni Chem certificates, and was trying to process dematerialisation, for which they said you need to have the original share certificate, or duplicate. (Link Intime acknowleges new cert number and shares on their folio) and so I applied for duplicate certificates. They told us to make 2 x 500 rupee stamp papers, one for affidavits, and one for indemnity. Processing the whole thing, along with notary charges and other misc, costed me... 5 1 replies
