Education Teaches Words, Experience Teaches Meaning”: Market Analyst Subaschandra Bhattarai

-Subash Chandra Bhattarai

In a powerful and introspective Facebook post, well-known Nepali stock market analyst Subash chandra Bhattarai offered a deep reflection on the psychology of investors, the current state of the market, and the direction it may take in the coming months. His message blends technical insight with behavioral finance, emphasizing not just data but the mindset and maturity needed to succeed in the capital market.

Bhattarai writes:

“Words can be understood through education, but to understand meaning, you need experience along with learning.”
A clear signal to new and experienced investors alike that successful investing requires far more than just textbook knowledge.

1. Policy Shifts and Monetary Optimism

Bhattarai expresses cautious optimism about the upcoming monetary policy from Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB), expecting it to be more market-friendly than in the past. He notes that while some past policies were flawed, efforts are now underway to correct them.

“We anticipate that NRB will introduce an even more market-oriented policy in the upcoming monetary cycle.”

2. Earnings Growth and Bullish Season

He highlights that many listed companies are reporting improved earnings, which adds strength to the market's upward trajectory. According to Bhattarai, we’re entering a bullish season — both from a calendar perspective and from a technical time frame analysis, suggesting the market is poised to break previous highs.

“Based on seasonal trends, the coming months are part of a bullish cycle. The market is currently entertaining a breakout from previous highs, based on technical time-frame zones.”

3. Institutional vs Retail Behavior

Bhattarai notes a striking behavioral difference between large institutional investors and small retail traders. While large players act quietly and strategically, small traders tend to react loudly on social media, often driven by emotion rather than analysis.

“Those with massive portfolios move strategically. Meanwhile, small traders make noise on social media.”

4. Investing with Intention: Speculation or Ownership?

In one of the most thought-provoking parts of his post, Bhattarai urges investors to ask themselves why they are investing in the stock market — for genuine ownership and long-term value, or just for short-term speculation.

“Ask yourself — am I buying shares for speculation or a sense of ownership?”

Subaschandra Bhattarai’s post is more than just a market commentary. It’s a wake-up call for investors to develop a mature, well-informed, and long-term mindset. As Nepal’s capital market shows signs of recovery and growth, it’s not just policies and profits that matter — it’s the psychological and educational evolution of the investor base that will determine sustainable success.

The journey ahead is bullish — but only those with vision, discipline, and purpose will truly thrive.

Victory to the Capital Market. Victory to Investors.
