Was born in Jagirdar family in Rajasthan where his father ran a tyre business. His full name was Sahabzade Irfan Ali Khan. Both his parents were completely against him joining the movies. But he convinced them and joined NSD.

When he arrived in Mumbai, he took up a job of an AC mechanic to make ends meet. And even visited Rajesh Khanna's house to fix his AC.

Got his first debut in 1988 in Salam Bombay where he played a short role.

After a lot of TV serials (Chandrakanta), advertisements (Hutch ka chhota recharge) and small roles in movies, he got his first commercial lead role in the movie Rog

And the rest as they say is history.

His performances garnered a lot of praise and awards from across the world. Slumdog millionaire and life of pi won academy awards. Lunchbox won critics week viewers choice award at Cannes. He also received the Padam Shree for his contribution to indian cinema

One of his best performances came in Paan Singh Tomar for which he won the National Award. At a point he became so busy with his movie schedule that he had to refuse Christopher Nolan for a part in Interstellar.

Irfan Khan also collaborated with AIB at times for recreating some of the best memes of all times (including ye bik gayi hai gormint). He also performed on the Party song with AIB.

What is Indexation Benefit in Debt funds ?

News doing rounds that Debt mutual funds held for over 3 years will

- Lose the indexation benefit and
- 20% tax rates

Indexation benefit is one of the key reasons for which people chose Debt Funds over FDs

Read on -
Indexation benefit means that before taxing your gains, the concept of inflation would also be considered.

Wherein returns on FDs or mutual funds are directly taxed without considering inflation, debt funds have/had this benefit over them.
Basically if you invested 1 lac Rs today in Debt mutual funds and redeem it after 3 years with a profit of 30,000 Rs

Then this profit will not be directly taxed at 20%

NSE stops 'Do Not Exercise' facility for stock option traders.

Here is what it means and how dangerous can it be for traders !!

Read On:
Lets take an example of selling stock options first.

Assume, Adani Enterprises is trading at 1800 Rs on 1st April, 2023.

And its 1700 PE is trading at 100 Rs at the start of the month

You decide to sell the 1700 PE with a view that it would not expire below 1700
The margin required for this trade would be around 2.7 lacs. If you buy a hedge it can be reduced to 45 K as well.

If all goes well and stock stays above 1700, you would make a profit of 100 point ~ 25000 Rs (250 lot size)

In God we trust, everyone else must bring data !!

Hindenburg has been blamed in past 2 days to be anti Indian fake firm with vested interest

So, I decided to dig in their past performance and its much much better than the analysts on business news channels

A thread

1/
Hindenburg is a niche firm focused only on finding overvalued or shady stocks and shorting it. They have released reports for around 46 stocks on their website

This includes US, Chinese and Canadian firms with Adani being the latest addition
Out of the 46 stocks about which Hindenburg released a report on their website

36 have gone down below the price when the report was released

13 stocks have been reduced to penny stocks under 1 $

And in 10 stocks they have been proven wrong

A hit rate of 78 % (attached proof)

I checked the performance of 56 trades given by a famous analyst on Zee Business during the month of September 2022

73% of the trades (41 of 56) lost money

What is found is that you can make a hell lot of money by just doing opposite of what they tell you on TV

A thread 🧵
The reason I am sharing it is that ppl start understanding that they should not take advise from TV

TV channels should also take some responsibility of what's being said

And finally SEBI should come out of its sleep 👍
So i took a popular segment where beautiful stocks are discussed by a senior gentleman

I tracked those on the YouTube channel of the Zee business channel

In all 56 trades were given. These Included cash calls, index options, index futures and stock options
