My only previous podcast was way back in 2018, with Anupam Gupta @b50 . Post that, despite many invitations to be on podcast re trading I had declined all. I made an exception for Swar Makhija. She had first invited me to do a video series on The Economic Times online, about trading. I am happy to see her branch out on her own, and was honoured to be her first guest on her podcast. In this podcast with Swar Makhija, I share my trading journey, along with the pitfalls and pain in the course of this journey. While everyone will tell you what to do, here I share what not to do in your journey as a trader. Do give it a watch and share. Podcast Link: youtu.be/2r5ybGh-ry8

You may have the best momentum stock scanner, which tells you the strongest stocks in advance. But will it make you a profitable trader? The answer is a clear "NO". Because trading is a process. You need to know: Why to buy? When to buy? How much to buy? What is the risk on capital? What is your stop? When to add? When to reduce? and finally when to exit? Surprised? Ask yourself how many of the questions asked above you have the answer to? #TradingMentorshipProgram Where learning never ends. DM for details. teapawt.net/KiritManral/status/210…

Never Average Down: “Don't ever average losers.” If a trade is going against you, adding to it is a psychological trap, not a strategy. -Michael Marcus #TradingMentorshipProgram

A six-year-old girl set a women’s world record for solving a Rubik’s Cube. Lian Yunzhi, from China, cracked the puzzle in average times of 4.52 seconds and 4.27 seconds during competitions in Wuhan and Guangzhou, respectively. Ms Lian is now the first female cuber to achieve an average time of under 4.5 seconds. - Economist.

Think you can master trading in a weekend? You've already lost before you begin. If you're chasing someone else's "tips" and calls, hoping they'll make you rich — that's not trading, that's gambling with extra steps. If a few winning trades made you think you've "learned" to trade — pause and rethink. That's the market being kind to you once. It won't stay that way. Here's the truth nobody wants to sell you: trading is a process, not a shortcut. And mastering that process takes real time, real discipline, and real guidance. That's exactly why I built this year-long Trading Mentorship Program. You'll go from the absolute basics of trading to developing your own trading edge — building systems, backtesting them rigorously, and mastering risk management like a professional. You won't be learning alone. You'll be part of a global community of serious, professional traders — people who take this as seriously as you do. And when you make mistakes (you will — everyone does), you won't be left to figure it out alone. You'll be handheld, corrected, and coached until the right habits become second nature. Trading isn't a weekend skill. It's a craft. Come build it the right way. #TradingMentorshipProgram

Why a majority of traders lose money trading. #Trading Mentorship Program.

Dolly Parton, a country-music legend, died in Nashville aged 80. Born into poverty in Tennessee, she became one of the best-selling female singer-songwriters, with more than 100m records sold globally. Her hits include “9 to 5” and “Jolene”. Over her seven-decade career she ventured into acting, theme-parks and philanthropy, in particular improving children’s literacy. -Economist.

Most mentorships end at "here's the theory." Mine doesn't. Once you spot a potential buy, you confirm the signal with me. I cross-check it, help you size the position, set your stop loss. As the trade moves in your favor, I handhold you through trailing stops & exits. This is how confidence is actually built — not by watching charts, but by doing it right, together, trade after trade. That's the difference between knowing trading and becoming a trader. #TradingMentorshipProgram DM for details

Walmart, America’s biggest retailer, posted its lowest quarterly sales growth in more than six years. American sales rose by just 2.6% year-on-year, helped by e-commerce, while brick-and-mortar sales fell. The retailer blamed lower drug prices owing to new federal regulations for the slowdown. It is another bad sign for American consumer confidence. Last week data showed retail sales fell month on month in July, the first decline in nine months. -Economist.

Hui Ka Yan, the founder of Evergrande, once the world’s biggest property firm by sales, was sentenced to life in prison by a Chinese court for “multiple combined crimes”. In April Mr Hui pleaded guilty to eight charges, including fraud and misuse of funds. Evergrande inflated the value of its assets and concealed its liabilities before defaulting on $300bn of debt in 2021. The firm and a subsidiary were fined $2.4bn. -Economist.
