- Astrology View – Important turning dates are 20, 22, 27, 29 & 31 July 2026. Stock-specific volatility may remain high till 18 August. Trade with strict stop-losses, disciplined position sizing and avoid excessive leverage.
- Wealth Creation Mantra – Success depends on the right entry, right exit and patience. Don’t chase the next multibagger. Build a disciplined portfolio of quality stocks and let winners compound over time. Consistency and risk management matter more than chasing quick gains.
- Market rules: 1) Treasury buys back its own debt → Dollar weakens. Gold goes up. 2) They print money → Buy gold. Buy hard assets. Cash is the position that always loses. 3) They raise rates → Sell growth stocks. Buy short-term bonds. Do nothing else. 4) They cut rates → Buy real estate. Buy growth stocks. This is the signal, not the news. 5) IPO market goes insane → Sell everything they’re selling you. They only IPO at the top. 6) 7 out of 10 bear market signals triggered → Start moving to cash. 7) Everyone says “this time is different” → It never is. Sell.
- Investor Alert – IPOs are increasingly being priced below unlisted market valuations. SBI Funds’ IPO, for example, came at a 32% discount to unlisted prices, highlighting the risks of buying unlisted shares at excessive premiums.
- Portfolio Strategy – Review quarterly results and management concalls regularly. Rebalance your portfolio periodically and, if a stock remains inactive for around 100 days, consider shifting part of your capital to fundamentally strong stocks showing better momentum while maintaining diversification.
