Stocktale is a market diary. I write mine twice a day. You write yours, and over the years yours is the one that matters.
Arthashastra — every morning. What happened around the world overnight, and what it means for India at the open. Oil, currencies, central banks, whoever is arguing with whom.
Ranbhoomi — every evening. What the day actually did, and why. Not the number — the reason.
Gyana — the longer pieces, when one idea needs room. Open to everyone, no account needed.
The Library — every edition ever published, searchable, sorted by idea.
Patha-Shala — live sessions with me, and the recordings if you miss one.
Your Diary — the important one. Whatever you learn about the market, from anywhere, you write here. Only you see it. It is free and it stays free, for as long as you are in this market. In a year you read the first entry back and find out how far you moved.
The weekly question — you write what you think the market has been doing and why, then commit a view: up or down. Nobody marks it. Months later you see your own reasoning beside what actually happened. That gap is the only honest measure of whether you are improving.
The 24-year story — six crashes, six recoveries, year by year. Start here if you are new.
Stocktale is written in Bengaluru. It is founded and written by Sagar U.S. — eighteen years in the Indian market as a researcher and a trader, and more than 80,000 people taught across sixty-plus institutions. Former Resource Person at BSE and CDSL, former columnist at Kannada Prabha, past appearances on Zee Kannada and Suvarna News.
No broker. No affiliate link. No commission, from anyone, ever. Nothing on this site is being sold to you by somebody else — which is the reason it can afford to tell you the market might not suit you at all. Read that argument here.
Not tips. Not calls. Nobody telling you what to buy. The goal is the day you don’t need Stocktale either.
The world overnight, and what India did with it at the open — oil, currencies, central banks, geopolitics, in one brief.
Who won the day, and why. The close, decoded.
Deep reads on how markets actually work.
Every past edition, from the beginning.
Live sessions with Sagar, and the recordings afterwards.
What do you think the market is? Anything. In a year you read it back and see how far you moved.
Six crashes, six recoveries. Free, and it changes what you write after it.
The same day from both ends. Then write what you noticed.
Ten minutes each. That is the whole thing.
