- Big IT fall impact: Mutual funds lost Rs.4 lakh cr. in IT sector in 2026 so far. As per market grapevine, Indian fund managers failed to understand AI’s negative impact on Indian IT stocks.
- IPO reality check: India witnessed 250+ IPOs since 2024, but only around 30 delivered sustainable long-term gains. Many IPOs are trading below issue price or sharply below post-listing highs. Most SME stocks corrected 30-80% from highs. Stay selective and disciplined. Capital protection is more important than chasing returns.
- Big negative for Indian economy: As per market grapevine, Iran and USA are buying time without escalating or de-escalating the war. Higher crude prices are benefiting oil-producing nations while India remains the biggest victim as a major crude importer. If Strait of Hormuz does not reopen fully within 30-40 days, inflation and economic pressure on India may rise sharply.
- In stock markets, hope empties accounts. When traders ignore stop losses and hold losing positions hoping for recovery, small losses often turn into large losses. Professional traders act on discipline, not emotions. The market does not reward hope, it rewards risk management and decisive action.
- Mindset is money: Income grows only as much as mindset grows. Wealth is built through patience, disciplined investing, long-term vision, smart decisions and continuous learning. Money follows confidence, clarity and courage.
- Wisdom for capital protection: Control your positions, don’t let positions control you. Major losses usually come from poor position sizing and excessive leverage. Survival is the biggest key in markets. Never hold positions that disturb your sleep.
