Thread on 3 stocks - Balaji Amines, Thyrocare and Sterlite Technologies (Disc : no position in any of them) being added into watchlist.

Exchanges regularly update the stocks watchlist who come frequently on SMS. It did so last night and included these 3.

bseindia.com/downloads1/Cur…
The stocks are added into the watchlist only as a Cautionary measure to investors.

Most such stocks are "shady" and SMSes on WA & TG/messages on social media are floated to the advantage of operators and at the expense of gullible investors.
However, exchange do not put any limitation on the buying and selling of such securities.

The various surveillance measure (ASM, GSM, T2T etc) are there to warn retail about any sharp run up of stock price on either side.
Many brokers put these stocks on watchlist and flash warnings on trading terminals if you try and buy them. However, it is unlikely that any broker will stop you in selling them (fully or partially)
It has been reported that one of the broker has put a 1L limit to sell 1 or more of these stocks today (though I have no official confirmation). In my opinion, this may have happen inadvertently, if at all and likely to reverse.
As a client, you have the full right to sell your holdings to a willing buyer at fair market price.

So in case you hold any of them or faced any issue in selling these securities today, get in touch with your broker to clarify
Unfortunately many get cheated out of their hard earned money to such false tips/sms. Ignorance and greed are equally to be blamed. That's why the watchlist is created by the exchanges to inform about any such activity.

PS : This is my view, open to any other interpretation.

SEBI has shared new framework for short selling in Indian financial markets and allowed both institutional and retail investors to short sell.

“Short selling” is selling a stock which the seller does not own at the time of trade.

🧵 on the details.
Naked short selling shall not be permitted.

All investors would be required to mandatorily honor their obligation of delivering the securities at the time of settlement.

Otherwise Securities will go in auction and sellers need to find buyers there.

It means Intraday selling and then squaring off positions is OK for retail investors, carry forward is NOT.
Securities Lending and Borrowing (SLB) shall be put in place to provide the necessary impetus to short sell.

The introduction of a full-fledged SLB shall be simultaneous with the introduction of short selling by institutional investors.

Date of launch not yet decided.

Markets had an extremely smooth run-time in last 5 months, much ahead of everyone's expectations.

Older and wiser investors are unduly cautious while newer and bold investors with YOLO approach wants more.

Time for some investment lessons learned from past cycles 🧵
(1) Define your investment objectives and goals clearly.

Success in investment depends largely on clarity in investment O&G. Factors like growth, yield, income, risk, are dynamic & will keep on changing every year.

Investors must periodically re-evaluate objectives.
(2) Forming a solid investment team is critical to successful investment strategy.

Carefully assess the honesty, competence, and objective of those giving you investment advice & services.

DIY investors need to make sure they have sufficient time and skill set to execute.

A thread of the 10 best podcast episodes (& series) I listened to this year #2022inreview

PS : I use @Spotify as my platform, so hyperlinks are from there. In the case of the series, I have shared a link to the first episode.

This is across genres. RT for wider benefit.
(1) For over ~4hrs, @amitvarma and @BShrayana discuss the complexities of being a woman in India. Context is the latter's wonderfully written - "Desperately Seeking Shah Rukh" which is a cleverly disguised economics book talking about movies.

open.spotify.com/episode/5JVmQU…
(2) Summarizing gist of the business is a forte of @bizbreakdowns and this one chronicling GE's dominance and decline is a treat, specially inputs coming from Josh Aguilar, @MorningstarInc analyst who has tracked the company closely for many yrs.

Certain business channels allowing ONLY SEBI registered analysts & advisors to come on their shows from NOW ON after all this brouhaha is just hogwash.

This should have been done always in the past but that's not how money is made on channels.
Eventually all business channels need to survive which means more hits and clicks across various social media platforms. So called finfluencers provided that on a platter, regulation be damned.

So now following the RA (2016) or RIA (2013) regulations smells of hypocricy.
Every finfluencer has been blantantly disregarding RA/RIA regulations for years in the name of 'only for educational purposes'.

Regulations are clear, if you want to talk about stocks across ANY platform, get a license from SEBI. But this has been rarely practiced.

Quite a lot of investors are worried about the FPIs dumping Indian equities and concluding that this is the prime reason for the ongoing correction in stock prices.

A 🧵 to understand details about FPIs buying and selling in financial markets before jumping to conclusions
(1) FPIs are NOT a uniform class of investors.

Some examples:

Pension funds - very long term horizon (multi-decades)
Hedge funds & AIF - very short term horizon (3-6m)
EM funds - buy/sell as basket including India
ETFs - MSCI, iShare EM, iShare Asia, FTSE
(1a) All these investors differ in Investment:

- Horizon
- Objectives
- Strategies

They rarely act in unison as the universe of investible stocks is also different.

To assume that all FPIs are selling at the same time violating the mandate & exiting India is bit overdramatic.

A good article on the challenges of working as SEBI registered Investment advisor (RIA). The new norms have come from Oct-20 and it has caused more harm than good.

A short thread 🧵
(1) The 2yr PG in "relevant stream" clause is filled with roadblocks (Earlier it was only PG). Forcing RIAs to do a PG degree that too of 2 yrs is bizzare. Many professional certifications like CS were removed from the equivalent PG category overnight.
(2) Foreign PG degrees of 2 yrs require equivalent certificate from Indian authorities which is a pain specially if considerable time has passed for PG. Its like running from pillar to post. Proving "relevant stream" again has been an uphill task.
