A brief summary of some of the interesting things discussed there in the last few days:

#general: Discussion on Income Taxes

Let’s say you buy shares worth Rs 1 lakh and sell it in, say, eight months. You have made 25 per cent returns, though the intention was investment. Does this become business income? It’s a thin line that separates business income from capital gains.

#macro: Why Economists Are Still Baffled by India’s GDP Growth

http://blogs.wsj.com/briefly/2015/09/02/why-economists-are-still-baffled-by-indias-gdp-growth-the-numbers/

Here’s a snippet of what Deepak Shenoy had to say about the Indian Market scenario:

Deepak Shenoy: Buy and hold isn’t to be sneered at, however I believe in more active management.

Deepak Shenoy: I personally think our bull market may have a long way to go, but it has a long way to go down also.

Deepak Shenoy: The last three years have been extremely high on expectation. We have seen no really big dip in the marekt or economy for a long time. We have not seen a drougth for a while. We have no idea how to deal with the lack of inflation now (it’s been quite a long time).

Deepak Shenoy: We can dip substantially, and because of the problems in India (i.e. not attributed to global forces). That is what I think will come next.
