The mindsets of retail investors and the institutions are entirely opposite. Because institutions have the "money", the opposite view(of trading) continuously wins and more than 90% of retail investors consistently lose. In my article , I briefly introduce the mindset of institutional investors. I explain how to address their trade locations. You need to completely get rid of cliche retail thoughts.

It's all about the skill of trading which is very rare (very few genuine independent traders whom no one will listen to). Fraudsters are galore and there is lack of formal education in trading. Even more shocking is the abundance of faulty trading education materials (books, online courses etc) that is designed to make you lose money instead of providing you with correct education that enables you to make money. Exchange charges exorbitant taxes on transactions and income tax on trading profits is so high that only an A / A+ grade trader can have some hope of making decent money from markets. We are neck deep in shit and there is no way out. Its over for retail traders.

The irony is clear: regulations that were designed to protect retail traders are now driving them toward unregulated dabba trading setups! This raises two critical questions: 1. Are we actually protecting retail traders, or are we exposing them to even greater risks? 2. Is the trading ecosystem stronger or weaker because of this shift?

Had an interesting two days last week at the KBW Fintech Conference in New York, where I was speaking with investors on behalf of Coastal Community Bank, which remains one of my favorite multi-year growth stories in the banking and fintech space. Some broader takeaways from the conference below - stay nimble out there!! 1) It was encouraging to hear some more positive views on banking-as-a-service or bank partnerships generally, although it will be interesting to see what the long-term ramifications are of this regulatory crack-down of the past couple of years. One thing for sure is the moat of entry, particularly from the viewpoint of established, healthy players, such as Coastal Community Bank, is very wide currently and I think the ongoing supply / demand imbalance will persist for most of next year. 2) I've now had two different sell-side shops pretty much outright acknowledge their ~3.50% Fed Funds target for year-end 2025 seems optimistic - which based on what we know today about inflation, employment and the stock market - I totally agree with. But what does this mean for the stocks? It creates an interesting dynamic where you have investment banks raising their price targets on bank stocks since third quarter earnings to keep up with the market appreciation, despite the fact they will likely be lowering their 2025 estimates 3-5% if I had to guess come outlook season (around the new year) when they remove multiple Fed Fund cuts from their forecast. This isn't to say we are negative on Banks, but I think unlike the last time Trump won the white house, where there was a tangible earnings catalyst (i.e. lower taxes) which drive forward estimates higher, the upward estimate revision story in 2025 is less certain. Personally, I'm biased towards banks with structural margin tailwinds (i.e. clear term-deposits with repricing benefit or BaaS banks with contractual deposit rates) or a compelling growth story; particularly if you can find one at a relatively (not absolute) cheap valuation. Travillian has done some fascinating work in the past on Tech-forward banks, and top performers in the industry - be on the lookout for more of this in 2025!

💫 So , who are " Retailers " ? Well , as per the NSE Data of Open Interest ( OI ) of Derivatives ( I don't Use it Personally ) , " Clients " are 👉 " Retailers " in Trading . But what's the catch here ? The catch here is that there are Big Fishes on the Clients Side too in our Markets on the Derivatives Side . That's why the OI of Clients is on the Higher Side . But there's one more catch , there are Bigger Fishes above these " Retail " HNI ( High Net Worth Investors ) Clients . I think that those Fishes / Players are having a 👉 problem with the Retailers thereby making Profits in Trading which I think the 90 % Fail in Trading Data doesn't show . That's my Personal View on this entire fiasco of " The Surge in Derivatives " Trading which has become " so called " Worrysome for our 👉 Regulators and possibly Law Makers too . Retail Traders ke Liyein Toh Vahi Baat Ho Gayi - " Ab Bolein to Bolein Kya Aur Karein Toh Karein Kya " . This whole debate on " The Surge in Derivatives Trading " , I do want to speak more on this but let's leave that I think , I don't like to be involved in " Unecessary Stuff " on my End . 💫 The Regulators and Law Makers should also think about the Business that Derivatives Trading brings to our Financial Institutions involved in the Markets and not only on one aspect which I don't want to speak on Much from my Side as mentioned above as those Views of Mine I think are Controversial . 👉 So , yeah on a Final note " Rational Derivatives Trading " in my Opinion only Brings Rationality to the Markets and not the other way around as I had said Earlier too in one of my Posts . 👉 So , that was it for Today's Post as on 20 / 6 / 24 . 👉 Trade and Invest at your own Risk .
