Game of Trading !


Trading is 0 sum game, my profit is somebody's loss. 

Is it morally right?

It is the way look at it

You transfer your risk to insurance companies by paying premium, they do business out of it.

Since it is 0 sum, Insurance companies should feel bad?

It is a process of transferring risk from a person who has no appetite to another person who has appetite. 

Option selling is similar to insurance.

But some people, buyers, instead of using buying for hedge, buy for gambling. 

They deserve to lose.

Sholay - Jai-Mausi (Property Indexation)

*Mousi to Jai:* Beta, I have got this message that they have restored the indexation benefit for the LTCG. Is it correct Beta? Jai :   Yes, Yes  Mousi ji, Hon.

Now in case of LTCG from the transfer of land and buildings purchased before 23rd July 2024, the tax  calculated @12.5% without indexation or @20% with indexation- whichever is lower, would be the tax liability. Mousi : Ok Beta, so all the assets purchased upto 22nd July 2024 would be eligible for indexation, right? Jai : Aree nahi Mousi. Only land and buildings would be eligible for this indexation benefit.

Indexation benefit is available for this land- hai na? Jai : Na,na, na  Mousi ji. Indexation benefit has been  restored only for indi...

A Leap of Faith: Deepika Kapoor's 14-Year Journey from Rs 10 Lakh to Rs 420 Crore. In 2010, Deepika Kapoor, an enthusiastic foodie and budding angel investor, found herself in a conversation that would change her life.

P/E ratio can make you rich ! Lets find out.

What is P/E ratio?       In some words P/E ratio = Current stock price / EPS (Earnings per share) of the year.       Here, Current stock price is the price at which trading is going on or the latest close price of a stock and EPS is Earning per share of recent 4 quarters which is also know as TTM EPS (Trailing 12 months ).       Lets take an example and calculate the P/E ratio for a company for better understanding. Lets take XYZ Industries.       Current Price - 2840/-       For EPS let me show you what data you need.     So TTM EPS = 28.53+ 23.67 + 25.71+ 25.52 = 103.43       So P/E ratio = 2840/103.43 = 27.4       Now PE ratio is available at many places but its important to understand where it comes from for knowing its significance.
