The star shooter Avani Lekhara became the first Indian woman to win two Paralympic gold medals with her victory in the women's 10m air rifle (SH1) event here on Friday as compatriot Mona Agarwal claimed a bronze.


 
The Pride of BHARAT

A car accident in 2012, at the age of 11, left her with complete paraplegia. Her father encouraged her to join sports, training in archery but moving to shooting, where she found her true passion. She is currently studying law at Rajasthan University, India. She was a student of Kendriya Vidyalaya 3 (Jaipur), where she received her first gold medal in a regional shooting match.





She won a gold medal in the 10m air rifle standing and a bronze medal in the 50m rifle 3 positions at the 2020 Summer Paralympics. Lekhara is ranked the World No. 1 in Women's 10m Air Rifle SH1 as per World Shooting Para Sport Rankings.

Usha Chilukuri, the Indian-origin wife of Republican JD Vance who could be US Vice President, Donald Trump's Vice President pick


 

On Monday, former President Donald Trump named Senator JD Vance of Ohio as his running mate for the upcoming US presidential elections, marking a significant shift in their political relationship. Vance grew up in humble surroundings in Middletown, Ohio. After completing high school, he enlisted with the US marines where he served in the Iraq War as a combat journalist and a public relations officer.

Significantly, JD Vance's wife, Usha Chilukuri Vance, has also gained quite some attention being of Indian origin and how she brings with her wealth of experience and a strong connection to Indian values and culture. After graduating from Yale in 2013, he practiced law for a brief while before moving to San Francisco to work in the tech industry as a venture capitalist. Notably, he worked at PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel’s Mithril Capital.





At the time, Vance was staunchly anti-Trump. “I’m a Never Trump guy,” he told talk show host Charlie Rose in October 2016. In an op-ed for The Atlantic in July 2016, Vance wrote: “Trump is cultural heroin… Trump’s promises are the needle in America’s collective vein… He makes some feel better for a bit. But he cannot fix what ails them, and one day they’ll realise it”.

Stock Market Psychology




Beyond economic fundamentals and market trends, the psychology of investors plays a significant role in shaping their decisions. Understanding these psychological factors is crucial for investors and market regulators to enhance market efficiency and investor protection. Educational initiatives and regulatory interventions are crucial to mitigate these biases, promoting informed and rational investment behaviour. This report explores the effectiveness of various educational and regulatory measures in addressing behavioural biases among retail investors in India.

Factors Influencing Investors

1.  Risk Perception and Aversion:

o   Loss Aversion: Retail investors in India often exhibit a strong aversion to losses. Behavioural studies suggest that losses are psychologically felt more intensely than gains of the same magnitude. This can lead investors to hold onto losing positions longer than they should, hoping for a recovery, which may not materialize.

o   Risk Tolerance: Investors' tolerance for risk varies widely. Younger investors might be more inclined to take risks for potentially higher returns, whereas older investors nearing retirement may prefer safer investments.





2. 
Overconfidence Bias:

o   Many retail investors in India exhibit overconfidence in their investing abilities. This bias can lead them to trade excessively, resulting in higher transaction costs and suboptimal returns. Overconfident investors may also underestimate risks associated with certain investments.

3.  Herding Behaviour:

o   Retail investors often exhibit herding behaviour, especially in response to market movements or tips from peers and media. This behaviour can amplify market volatility and lead to bubbles or panics.

4.  Anchoring and Framing:

o   Investors tend to anchor their decisions to a specific reference point (e.g., purchase price). This can influence their selling decisions, as they may hold onto an investment until it reaches a certain price point, regardless of its current market value.

5.  Availability Bias:

    • Retail investors in India may overweight information that is readily available or recent in their decision-making process. This bias can lead to underestimating the probability of less prominent events or risks.

The psychology of retail investors significantly influences their decision-making process in the Indian capital market. By understanding and addressing these behavioral biases through education and effective regulation, stakeholders can enhance market efficiency, investor protection, and overall market stability.

India’s T20 World Cup 2024 - Squad Announcement






The deadline for sending a provisional squad list for the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 is nearing. Indian captain Rohit Sharma and chief selector Ajit Agarkar reportedly met informally in the national capital recently apparently to discuss the squad composition. India’s T20 World Cup squad selection meeting is likely to take place on April 30, Tuesday, with the squad expected to be announced soon. There is a chance that the squad announcement could happen on May 1. 





Irfan Pathan believes India must have five good bowlers. He prefers having two wrist spinners like Ravi Bishnoi and Kuldeep Yadav in the team. He doesn't think Yuzvendra Chahal should be picked just for his IPL performance, as fielding skills are also important. He believes Jasprit Bumrah is the only bowler who should be in the team. 

The deadline for the squad is set to be on May 1. Captain Rohit Sharma is unlikely to attend the selection meeting on Tuesday as he will be in Mumbai for MI’s home game against Lucknow. It is also likely that the date of announcing the squad may be delayed to May 1.
