BSE 1% circuit rule is a trap

BSE brought in a new rule. If a stock moves a lot, it hits 1% circuit and can only be traded once a week. This was an official circular last week. SEBI is just… not even involved? Like how do we even flag this at this point?

  • If you’re holding, you’re stuck. No exit
  • Price discovery is dead
  • Liquidity is dead
  • This whole system looks controlled without actually fixin anythng.

Instead of going after operators and fixing bad goverence, the solution is to just freeze everythng and call it surveillance.

A market u can’t exit is not a protected market. It’s a trapped one.

Don’t think there’s anything wrong in this. These stocks are mostly illiquid and easily manipulated.

BSE’s just tightening the rules a bit to slow that down, not trapping anyone.

ASM/GSM rules were already there, this is just an extension of that.
