STT #hashtagIt's really frustrating to see the STT hike after April. The stock market is not easy like buying and selling regular goods. It demands time, patience, continuous learning, strategy, discipline, and most importantly, our hard-earned money. Even after putting in all that effort, we still have to deal with global events that are completely out of our control. I don't even have to mention what's been happening recently because of Trump's policies and their impact on the markets.
And now, on top of all that, we have another burden—our own government. Instead of helping businesses and encouraging investors, they act like a sleeping partner. They don't share the risk, don't support the growth, but they're always ready to take a bigger share of our money. It's like having an unavoidable partner you can't even divorce. Whether we make a profit or suffer a loss, they still demand more from us through taxes like STT.
Investing is already full of uncertainty. We take the risks, face the stress, and accept the losses when things go wrong. The least we expect is a government that supports growth instead of making it more expensive to participate. Sadly, this is the reality we have to deal with in our country.
