Hi!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greetings from your friendly neighbourhood brokerage!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The election results were announced last week, and it was a wild time at the markets. At Zerodha, we had the craziest day<\/a> we\u2019ve seen in a long time, in fact. If there\u2019s one thing to take away from the results, though, it\u2019s that you should expect the unlikely. Incidentally, that\u2019s also the big take-away from Bhuvan\u2019s excellent re-telling of how World War I broke out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also been a busy fortnight over at Varsity. Our friends at Quicko are answering all your tax queries in a new weekly series. We\u2019ve also had some fantastic guest posts, on everything from new stock trading strategies to how dopamine affects your trading results. Meanwhile, Vineet takes a detour to Japan \u2014 looking at its falling population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve also cooked up something new on the product front, by the way! You can now add\u00a0notes<\/a>\u00a0to the Kite marketwatch, to remember why you\u2019re tracking something!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Here’s what’s on our mind<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The history of World War I shows us that things can go wrong suddenly, and in horrible ways. Europe was peaceful for a century, and then, in four weeks, it landed at the heart of a global war. The\u00a0lessons of the war<\/a>\u00a0aren\u2019t merely relevant to politicians or military planners \u2014 they are also relevant to investors, as Bhuvan explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A low fertility rate and declining population have made Japan home to the highest number of\u00a0Akiya<\/em>, a Japanese term for an abandoned house. India, too, is seeing a decline in its fertility rate and could see a declining population in a few decades. Vineet discusses the\u00a0perils of population de-growth<\/a>\u00a0and some lessons for other countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that a hormone in the human body \u2014 dopamine \u2014 dictates almost every decision we make in our lives, including our investing and trading decisions? Ankush Datar, Associate Vice President, PhillipCapital India writes about\u00a0how it impacts your trading results<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all have that one friend or a relative living abroad who regularly sends money back to India \u2014 for family maintenance, investments, medical care, education, and more. In this blog, Aditya Chopra, Managing Partner, Victoriam Legalis, tells us if there are any\u00a0restrictions on the usage of such money<\/a>\u00a0and explains how it is taxed in the hands of the recipients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you know the income tax department sends notices to taxpayers who do not disclose their entire income? If you engage in intraday or F&O trades \u2014 even if occasionally \u2014 you need to file ITR Form 3 and show that income as business income. If you have more questions like this, we\u2019re releasing a new tax blog every week until the ITR filing deadline, addressing FAQs on trading & investment income, answered by Quicko. Check out the first two editions\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What if you bought momentum stocks on Friday and sold them on Monday? And then, again, bought momentum stocks on Monday to sell on Tuesday? This could possibly be a\u00a0high-churn, high-return portfolio<\/a>, argues Shyam Sunder of StockViz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, a Varsity reader came up with an interesting question about direct vs. regular mutual funds. We all know that one can accumulate more units in a regular fund, because of their lower NAV compared to a direct plan. The reader wanted to know if such more units could\u00a0offset the higher NAV of a direct fund<\/a>\u00a0in the long run? What do you think?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you seen our simplified version of IndiaDataHub\u2019s excellent\u00a0This Week in Data newsletter<\/a>? It breaks down complex macroeconomic datapoints, and tells you why you should care. Check out our latest editions\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
