#LTCG - #LTCG - Not Much Revenue Gain for Lower Foreign Capital and Market Cap.

A Thread

India is the only country that taxes Foreign Capital
Foreigners own 25.6%
( FPIs= 17.4% & Foreign promoters= 8.2% )

Also when Indian Domestic Money has just started coming in Equity 2) Revenues for Government

This article suggests Long Term Capital Gains collection from Direct Equities was nearly 1 lakh crore.

But there is no Data for only Securities LTCG but this data matches for total LTCG.

Let's see the data.

Insider buying / Promoter buying –
What to Look For & What to Avoid ?

A thread 🧵

In simple terms – Insider is someone who knows about the company more than we do – Promoters, Directors and any other connected person with UPSI Why do we look at Insider Buying ?

👉No risk of Hostile Takeover, Activist Investing in India. More examples of promoters having board control with 5% ownership also.

👉Selling is taken more Negatively ( Much tougher to sell in bear market). So one way entry.

👉So why would a Promoter put more Money & increase Stake. Promoter Cash Flow is too less compared to Market Cap !!

Multi-Year Range Breakouts in Nifty50 Stocks but Nifty50 Making Lower Tops –What to Do ?

Apart from that

1) Global Indices – US and Europe near all time highs but India continues to struggle and making lower tops. 2) Stocks in Same Sector – One at all time high the other one at 30% drawdown.

3) What to trust the Breakout Moves or Breakdown Moves ?

This creates a dilemma for a Trader – To trust the Breakout/Breakdown or Not ?

Midcap Over-Ownership & Over-Valuation !!

#Retail Inflows continue to be strong but Sebi categorization of Stocks > 33k cr Mkt cap being considered Midcap has led to over-ownership and overvaluation in the Top Midcap & Smallcap ( > 20k cr )

Data from Monarch AIF Note. 1) Price CAGR >> Earnings CAGR

Nifty50 and Nifty500 have moved inline with earnings cagr.

NiftyMidcap 100 has seen max re-rating. A price cagr of 27.3% against 11.7% earnings.

Nifty & RSI Positive Divergence

Nifty – Oversold and Triple Divergence

Like I have said in my earlier posts that RSI is a good indicator for bottoming out analysis on Nifty50.

Now is the time with RSI being oversold it gets into practice for us.

Oversold and a possible Triple Divergence in making.

In majority of the instances a RSI divergence has led to a Strong Bounce.

A cluster of supports closer to 23300-23600.

Recent lows can be broken tomorrow and ideally one would expect a good bounce from the support band.

The trade is to look for longs in the band of 23300-23600 or as close to it or stock specific.

A bottoming out can take a few sessions as per previous instances. A stoploss of 2% from entry closer to 23000.

A bounce to the tune of 30-50% of the downmove is the initial target. That would come to 24500-25000. The past instances

The 2021-2023 – RSI divergence bounces

Nifty from top to bottom corrected 18% but there were multiple bounces and sideways range.

In the same period many stocks/sectors did really well.

For example the June 2022 bounce was led by Banks.

Nifty50 RSI at 80. Sell Everything and Run Away

Did you all get this Forward/Post of how #Nifty of how 80 RSI was followed by a Correction !!

A Thread.

A) March 1992.

Nifty50 index started in 1996 with a 1-2 year backdated data. NSE started operations in 1994.

So I have no clue where the 1992 data came from. Sensex monthly RSI was 92 in 1992 in 1985. So that also does not match
