On 1 July 2026, Nifty IT was just 25,769.
Tiday it's hovering at 32,700.
That's a massive recovery of 6,931 points, or 26.9%.
When everyone was pessimistic about the IT sector, the opportunity was right there.
Investors love discounts everywhere, except in the stock market!
Pessimism makes noise, but optimism makes money.
Did you buy IT crash or just criticise the Indian IT sector?

๐จ Warren Buffett just issued the most serious warning of his career
The man is 95 years old.
Heโs lived through every major crisis of the last 60 years.
He just said:
โWeโve never had people in a more gambling mood than nowโ
He called the stock market โa church with a casino attachedโ
Berkshire is now sitting on nearly $400 billion in cash.
The largest cash pile any company has ever held.
This is the same man who raised cash before 2008.
The same man who told everyone to be greedy when others are fearful.
Heโs not greedy right now.
Heโs the most cautious heโs ever been.
The man who built one of the greatest fortunes in history is telling you the market has become a casino.
Most people will ignore him, a few will listen.
History usually rewards the few.
Every new move I make in the market gets posted on this account before anywhere else.
Follow right now or you will regret it later.

Retired and senior citizens put their lifetime savings in a government-owned bank, assuming their money is safe.
But then, suddenly, it's all gone.
No OTP. No authorisation. Customers reportedly didn't even receive transaction alerts.
This is what has allegedly happened at Punjab National Bank's Greater Noida branch.
Some shocking facts ๐
๐น โน35 Crore: Allegedly missing from customers' savings accounts and FDs. The exact amount is under investigation.
๐น 3 Years: The alleged fraud reportedly continued for almost three years.
๐น 6 Bank Officials: Their Core Banking System login credentials were allegedly misused by a bank employee.
๐น 25 Account Holders: Approached the police with complaints by October 29. FDs were closed prematurely, and funds were allegedly diverted.
๐น โน1.18 Crore Missing: A 60-year-old tea and samosa vendor said that โน1.18 crore had disappeared from her โน1.29 crore land compensation deposit.
๐น 5 Employees Suspended: The bank reportedly suspended five employees, including the branch manager.
๐น CBI FIR: An FIR names office assistant Deepanshi, account holder Ashutosh Pathak and others.
๐น โน43 Lakh Settled: PNB said it had settled three customer claims and promised to honour all genuine claims.
But what about the need for emergency funds??

Look at these historical cases.
๐ด 2018 โ Nirav Modi & Mehul Choksi: โน13,923 crore in fraudulent transactions reported by PNB to RBI, according to a government reply.
๐ด 2019 โ Bhushan Power & Steel: โน3,805 crore exposure reported as fraud by PNB.
๐ด 2020 โ DHFL: โน3,688 crore exposure classified and reported as fraud.
๐ด 2022 โ IL&FS Tamil Nadu Power: โน2,060 crore NPA account classified as fraud.
These were reported fraud amounts and loan exposures, not necessarily final losses.
And remember PNB's NPA history?
In March 2018, its gross NPA ratio was a massive 18.38%.
Almost โน18 out of every โน100 in gross loans was classified as non-performing.
By March 2025, this ratio had improved to 3.95%.

Many investors avoid mutual funds due to market volatility and keep their emergency funds in banks/FDs.
But what if your own bank's employees allegedly steal your money?
Where were the internal audits?
Where were the transaction monitoring systems?
How could such activities allegedly continue for three years?
Was the bank's management waiting for account holders' complaints?
These are different types of incidents, but both raise questions about risk management and accountability.

IRCTCโs IPO was priced at โน320 per share in 2019.
๐น The IPO was subscribed around 112 times.
๐น It listed at โน644 on the BSE on October 14, 2019โa 101.25% premium.
๐น On October 19, 2021, it touched โน6,396.30 on the NSE, before the stock split. Its market cap briefly crossed โน1 lakh crore.

At the October 30, 2026 NSE closing price of โน436.20, the stock is approximately 65.9% below its peak, excluding dividends.
Still well above its adjusted IPO price. But investors who bought near the peak have had a very different experience.
๐๐๐ ๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ช๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐ช๐ฟ๐ผ๐ป๐ด?
The IPO was priced at around 19 times FY19 earnings, not 251 times.
The valuation concern came after the massive rally, when investors became willing to pay much more for the monopoly story.

On October 28, 2021, IRCTC disclosed that the Railway Ministry wanted 50% of its convenience-fee revenue.
The next morning, the stock plunged roughly 30% intraday. The decision was withdrawn that morning, and the stock recovered sharply.
One decision. A sharp fall. A reversal within hours.
A reminder that even a monopoly carries policy risk.
