Justices uphold FCC authority to impose in-house penalties, rejecting AT&T and Verizon jury trial claims Sign up for the Breaking News US newsletter email The US supreme court backed the Federal Communications Commission’s system for levying fines, ruling on Thursday against wireless carriers AT&T and Verizon in their challenge to the agency and handing a win to Donald Trump’s administration. The ruling was 8-1. At issue in the legal dispute was whether the agency’s in-house proceedings for imposing the penalties deprived the companies of their right to a jury trial under the US constitution. Trump’s administration defended the FCC’s system for assessing financial penalties, known as forfeiture orders. Continue reading...
For most investors, the focus is often on finding the right stock, entering at the right valuation, and identifying the next multibagger. Far fewer spend time understanding what may be the more difficult aspect of investing—knowing when to sell.Speaking at the ET Alpha Wealth Summit on Thursday on "The Art of the Exit," Rajiv Thakkar, CIO and Director at PPFAS Asset Management said that successful investing is not just about buying well but also about staying invested long enough for compounding to work. In fact, before discussing reasons to sell, he spent considerable time explaining why investors should avoid selling in the first place.According to Thakkar, one of the biggest mistakes investors make is selling because a stock has not moved for a few months.Also Read | ET Alpha Wealth Summit: Future alpha may emerge from neglected markets and asset classes, says Kalpen Parekh Investors often spend significant effort researching a company, understanding management quality, assessing industry prospects and evaluating valuations. Yet after purchasing the stock, many lose patience if prices remain stagnant for six months or a year.https://youtube.com/shorts/RiLj-X02NNE?feature=share"Investments are meant for wealth creation, not entertainment," he said, cautioning against treating investing like a source of excitement or constant action.Another common trigger for unnecessary selling is reacting to news flow. Markets are constantly bombarded with information—wars, elections, crude oil fluctuations, interest-rate decisions, capital flows and economic data. Investors who react to every headline often end up making poor decisions.To illustrate this, Thakkar recounted the story of an investor who received advance information about the severity of the Covid outbreak in early 2020. Acting on that information, the investor sold his technology stocks before the market crash. While the prediction turned out to be accurate, fear prevented him from re-entering the market, and he ultimately missed one of the strongest rallies in technology stocks.The lesson, according to Thakkar, is that even correct information does not necessarily translate into successful investment outcomes. Thakkar was particularly critical of the concept of "profit booking."Investors often feel compelled to sell simply because a stock has appreciated significantly. However, he argued that wealth is created by allowing successful investments to compound rather than by repeatedly locking in gains.Frequent buying and selling may benefit brokers, exchanges and tax authorities, but it often works against long-term investors. Hyperactivity in portfolios can destroy wealth by interrupting compounding and increasing costs.Similarly, investors should avoid selling because another stock appears more attractive. This "buyer's remorse" mindset frequently causes investors to abandon good businesses prematurely in pursuit of seemingly better opportunities."If you manage to find a genuinely good business with strong management, a large opportunity set and reasonable valuations, the best course of action is often to simply stay invested," he said.Thakkar emphasised that investors in taxable jurisdictions such as India should maintain low portfolio turnover whenever possible. Unlike institutional structures such as mutual funds or investors in tax-free jurisdictions, individual investors face taxes and transaction costs every time they trade. Excessive churn can significantly reduce long-term returns.For wealthy investors, family offices and HNIs, the ability to remain invested and minimise unnecessary transactions often becomes a major source of compounding advantage.Also Read | ET Alpha Wealth Summit: India could unlock a $5 trillion export opportunity through FTAs, says Saurabh Mukherjea While most reasons for selling are flawed, Thakkar identified several situations where exiting an investment becomes necessary. The most obvious reason is the need for capital. If an investor requires money for a business opportunity, acquisition or personal objective, selling investments may be entirely justified. More importantly, investors must be willing to acknowledge mistakes.If an investment thesis turns out to be wrong because of flawed analysis, poor due diligence or changing circumstances, the best course is often to exit quickly rather than averaging down endlessly.According to Thakkar, investors who recognise mistakes early frequently outperform those who identify good opportunities but refuse to sell losing positions. Capital trapped in poor investments cannot be deployed into better opportunities. Fraud, naturally, represents an immediate reason to exit.One of the more challenging selling decisions arises when industries face structural disruption. Questions such as whether newspapers can survive the internet, whether thermal power can coexist with renewable energy or whether traditional automobile manufacturers can adapt to electric vehicles rarely have straightforward answers.Thakkar suggested that investors should not react impulsively but should continuously evaluate incoming evidence. Investment decisions should be driven by facts rather than sentiment. If the underlying business continues to deteriorate because of technological or structural change, investors must eventually acknowledge reality and exit.At the same time, distinguishing genuine disruption from temporary noise remains critical. Exceptional businesses are not immune to becoming overvalued. Thakkar pointed to situations where valuations become so excessive that future growth is already fully reflected in stock prices. In such cases, taking profits, paying taxes and reallocating capital may be sensible.He also noted that investors may sell a reasonably valued investment if a significantly superior opportunity emerges elsewhere.During the question-and-answer session, investors raised concerns about stocks that stop performing despite sound fundamentals. Examples such as Maruti Suzuki, Bharti Airtel and even silver investments highlighted a common dilemma: should investors exit after years of gains and subsequent consolidation?Also Read | MF Tracker: Can ICICI Prudential Multicap Fund sustain its strong track record in a volatile market? Thakkar's response was that even excellent businesses can spend years moving sideways. Companies such as Hindustan Unilever, Infosys and Bharat Electronics have all gone through extended periods of stagnant share-price performance despite remaining fundamentally strong businesses.Investors should therefore distinguish between stock-price performance and business performance. As long as the underlying business continues to execute well, temporary market stagnation alone is not a sufficient reason to sell.For investors worried about selling too early, Thakkar recommended a phased approach. Instead of attempting to identify exact market tops, investors can gradually reduce exposure over time. For instance, if a stock appears significantly overvalued, an investor might sell a portion every month rather than exiting entirely in one transaction.This systematic approach helps manage the emotional difficulty of selling while reducing the risk of poor timing. Another important consideration is position sizing. Addressing a question about highly successful investments such as Nvidia, Thakkar noted that even outstanding businesses can become disproportionately large components of a portfolio.When a single stock grows from a small allocation into a dominant position, investors face a different risk—wealth preservation rather than wealth creation. His solution is gradual trimming. Investors can periodically reduce oversized positions to maintain comfortable portfolio weightings while still participating in future upside.This approach may not maximise returns, but it significantly reduces the risk of catastrophic losses and helps investors sleep better during periods of volatility.Thakkar concluded by stressing the importance of diversification and long-term investing. Most individuals create wealth through a single business, profession or sector. Their financial portfolios should therefore diversify away from that concentration rather than amplify it.Whether through mutual funds, retirement vehicles such as NPS, EPF and PPF, or diversified portfolios, investors should focus on owning inflation-protected assets for long periods. "The lower the churn in a portfolio, the greater the opportunity for compounding," he said.Ultimately, successful investing is not about perfectly timing every entry and exit. It is about avoiding unnecessary activity, admitting mistakes quickly, remaining patient with good businesses and ensuring that no single investment becomes large enough to threaten long-term financial stability.(Disclaimer: Recommendations, suggestions, views and opinions given by the experts are their own.

• Committee finds woman in labour was denied ultrasound examination and advised to walk around • Disciplinary action recommended against RMO held responsible for negligence KARACHI: An inquiry committee formed to investigate reports that a pregnant woman gave birth to a child in a Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC) washroom has concluded that the delivery took place in a toilet and blamed officials concerned for not properly assessing or monitoring her after she arrived at the hospital in labour. Last week, videos went viral on social media claiming that a woman gave birth to a child in a JPMC washroom. However, the hospital administration denied the allegations. Later, a three-member inquiry committee was formed to investigate the childbirth incident. The committee has found serious lapses in patient care, revealing that a pregnant woman was not provided with a timely medical assessment, was denied an ultrasound examination and was merely advised to walk around despite being in labour. According to the committee’s report, no ultrasound examination was carried out, and the patient was advised to walk instead of being properly assessed and monitored. The committee noted that the failure to promptly evaluate her condition ultimately led to the woman delivering her baby in a hospital washroom. Officials said the inquiry report submitted to the executive director of JPMC also found that the consultant and resident medical officer (RMO) on duty were absent from their assigned responsibilities. The report concluded that the affected woman reached the hospital’s gynaecology ward at around 9:30pm on the night of the incident but did not receive the standard evaluation expected for a patient presenting with labour pains. The washroom childbirth case sparked widespread public concern after a video related to the incident went viral on social media last week, triggering criticism of conditions and patient care standards at one of Sindh’s largest public-sector hospitals. Following the public outcry, the Sindh Health Department and JPMC administration constituted a three-member inquiry committee to determine the circumstances that led to the incident and identify any negligence on the part of hospital staff. The officials said the committee has recommended that the RMO held responsible for negligence be referred to the Sindh Health Department for departmental proceedings. It has also proposed extending the training period of the postgraduate doctors on duty by three months as a disciplinary measure aimed at improving professional accountability and clinical supervision. During the course of the investigation, the committee recorded statements from the affected woman, her husband and the woman who assisted in the delivery inside the washroom. Statements from doctors, nursing staff and other hospital personnel were also obtained, while CCTV footage and hospital records were reviewed as part of the inquiry. Earlier, in its initial response the JPMC flatly denied that the woman delivered her baby in a washroom, terming the reports baseless and announcing the formation of an inquiry committee to investigate the incident. At that time, hospital officials had maintained that the patient was medically assessed upon arrival and that a normal delivery took place in the designated labour room under medical supervision. They claimed that the pregnant woman was immediately attended to by doctors in the gynaecology emergency ward and underwent a medical examination. Following the assessment, the medical team opted for a normal delivery in the best interest of the patient’s health, they said. Published in Dawn, June 2nd, 2026

DUTCH police have found themselves in the middle of an online furore after footage of personnel assaulting a pregnant woman went viral on social media. The incident, which took place on May 19 in the town of Zeist, came to light over the weekend after videos circulated online of an officer violently pulling a heavily pregnant woman by the arm, causing her to fall to the ground, according to Dutch outlet RTV Utrecht. The video was filmed inside an asylum seekers’ centre. After she is dragged to the ground, the officer is seen being attacked by a man, who is said to be the woman’s husband. Media reports indicated that the couple was speaking to police after they were called in over a disturbance complaint. According to Al Jazeera, the woman’s husband was detained for smashing a television after learning of the death of his relative in Gaza. The woman said her husband was very respectful to the officers, adding that she was grabbed and forced to the ground after simply asking to accompany her husband to detention. The Al Jazeera report said that the woman went into early labour as a result of her trauma, and gave birth to a premature baby girl. Although both the baby and the woman are said to have escaped serious injury, questions are being raised over the conduct of the police. According to the Dutch press, the man was arrested following the incident, but has since been released. A statement by a spokesperson for Dutch police said the department “will carefully examine all the facts and circumstances,” which also includes assessing the force used by officers. However, it is not clear whether any disciplinary action has been taken against the officers involved. “We need to look at what happened there and in what order,” the police statement said.

The federal government recently announced a Rs22 per litre reduction in petrol and high-speed diesel prices. The decision lowered petrol prices from above Rs403 per litre to approximately Rs381.78 per litre and was presented as a measure to provide relief to consumers facing persistent economic pressures. Yet the public response was far from enthusiastic. Instead of celebrations, many citizens reacted with scepticism. Others questioned whether the reduction would make any meaningful difference in their lives. The reason is simple: while petrol may have become cheaper than it was a few weeks ago, life itself remains expensive. Petrol still costs nearly Rs382 per litre, plus the prices of food, electricity, gas, medicines, transportation, and housing remain elevated. Consequently, many households do not perceive the reduction as a visible improvement. Public sentiment is also shaped by recent memory. Before regional tensions involving Iran disrupted global energy markets, petrol prices in Pakistan were substantially lower. Earlier this year, consumers were paying nearly Rs250-270 per litre. The subsequent surge in international oil prices pushed domestic fuel prices above Rs400 per litre. Although recent reductions have lowered prices somewhat, consumers naturally compare current rates with pre-crisis levels rather than with the record highs of recent weeks. From people’s perspective, the latest reduction appears less like meaningful relief and more like a partial reversal of earlier price increases From their perspective, the latest reduction appears less like meaningful relief and more like a partial reversal of earlier increases. Citizens evaluate economic conditions through their lived experiences. They judge affordability when purchasing vegetables, paying school fees, visiting hospitals, or receiving monthly utility bills. If these expenses remain, improvements in selected indicators rarely generate optimism. When fuel prices increase, transport operators often raise fares almost immediately. Traders cite higher transportation expenses to justify price increases. Manufacturers pass additional costs on to consumers. Yet when fuel prices decline, prices rarely move downward at the same pace. Prices rise rapidly but fall slowly. Consequently, households experience the full burden of inflation while receiving only limited benefits when costs begin to moderate. The food sector provides a clear example. Fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy products, and livestock products all rely on transportation networks that connect farms to markets. During periods of rising diesel prices, transportation costs contribute to higher retail prices. Yet when diesel becomes cheaper, consumers often see little immediate change in the prices displayed at local markets. Part of the explanation lies in the broader inflationary environment. Businesses face multiple cost pressures simultaneously, including labour expenses, electricity tariffs, financing costs, rents, and regulatory charges. Once prices are adjusted upward, they are rarely reduced unless competitive pressures force businesses to do so. As a result, inflation tends to leave a lasting imprint on household budgets. Transportation expenses represent only one component of monthly budgets. Electricity bills, gas charges, school fees, healthcare costs, internet services, and housing rents continue to exert pressure on household finances. Even if lower petrol prices save a commuter a few hundred rupees per month, those savings can easily be offset by rising expenditures elsewhere. Perhaps the most telling indicator of affordability challenges emerged during Eidul-Azha this year. Anecdotally, many people observed that some families who traditionally performed qurbani every year either opted for smaller shares in collective sacrifices or chose not to participate at all because of economic constraints. When households begin reassessing even deeply valued annual practices because of affordability concerns, it serves as a powerful reminder that economic challenges extend far beyond the price of petrol. There is also a psychological dimension to affordability. Years of inflation have changed consumer behaviour. Families have become more cautious about spending. Businesses have delayed investments. Consumers increasingly prioritise necessities while postponing major purchases. Such behaviour reflects not only current economic conditions but also uncertainty about the future. Pakistan’s dependence on imported petroleum products further complicates the situation. While recent declines in international crude oil prices have created room for domestic reductions, future volatility remains a constant possibility.

Canada has introduced stricter documentation requirements for digital nomads entering the country under a work-permit exemption, requiring applicants to provide evidence that their income is earned entirely outside Canada and that they work remotely for foreign employers or overseas clients.Under Canadian immigration rules, digital nomads, remote workers employed by foreign companies or self-employed individuals serving overseas clients—can stay in Canada as visitors and work remotely for up to six months without obtaining a work permit, according to a report by CIC News. This exemption applies because they are not considered to be entering the Canadian labour market. Previously, immigration officers were instructed that digital nomads did not need to provide additional documentation beyond what is generally required from visitors. The updated guidance now directs officers to verify that applicants earn their income outside Canada and do not provide services to Canadian employers or clients. More clarity for immigration officers The revised instructions also provide additional guidance for officers assessing digital nomad applications. According to the updated rules, as cited by CIC News, digital nomads who wish to remain in Canada beyond their initially authorized stay should apply for a visitor record. Applicants must also satisfy immigration officers that they do not intend to enter the Canadian labour market during their stay. The guidance further states that accompanying family members must submit separate applications for their own temporary resident status. General entry requirements remain Canada's immigration department also clarified that digital nomads must continue to meet all standard requirements applicable to temporary residents. This includes demonstrating sufficient financial resources to support themselves during their stay, convincing officers that they will leave Canada when their authorized stay ends, and meeting admissibility requirements related to health and criminality. According to the CIC News report, the updated instructions also state that a digital nomad already in Canada may work for a Canadian employer without obtaining a work permit only if they qualify under a separate work-permit exemption set out in Canada's immigration regulations. The changes provide immigration officers with more detailed criteria for assessing digital nomad entries while reinforcing the requirement that remote workers benefiting from the exemption remain outside Canada's domestic labour market.
Suzlon Energy plans to challenge a recent Sebi order that imposed penalties of nearly Rs 29 crore on the company and several former executives over alleged accounting and disclosure violations. In an exchange filing, Suzlon said it intends to file an appeal before the Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT) against the regulator's order dated May 29."The findings of Sebi in the said order are related to the financial statements of the company from FY14 to FY18. The company will be filing an appeal before the Securities Appellate Tribunal in respect of the Sebi order," the company said.The development comes a day after Sebi imposed penalties on Suzlon and a number of former senior executives following a long-running investigation into the company's historical financial reporting practices.The market regulator levied a penalty of Rs 15.95 crore on Suzlon, while former executive Vinod R Tanti was fined Rs 5.75 crore and Girish R. Tanti was penalised Rs 5.45 crore. Former group CFO Kirti J. Vagadia was fined Rs 1.5 crore, while former CFO Amit Agarwal was directed to pay Rs 30 lakh.Sebi action followed a forensic audit and investigation covering multiple financial years after the regulator received a complaint alleging irregularities in dealings involving subsidiaries and associate entities.The regulator concluded that certain transactions between Suzlon and its subsidiaries had the effect of overstating profits and strengthening the appearance of the company's financial position.Among the issues examined were transfers of businesses and investments among group entities, accounting treatment of contingent liabilities, impairment reversals and disclosures made in financial statements.According to Sebi, some transactions involving subsidiaries resulted in substantial accounting gains being recorded without reflecting the underlying economic reality of the arrangements. The regulator also questioned the treatment of certain liabilities and fund flows between group entities, concluding that the company's disclosures did not present a true and fair picture of its financial position during the period under review.Sebi said accurate financial statements are critical because investors rely on them while assessing the health and prospects of listed companies. The regulator held that the violations warranted monetary penalties under provisions relating to disclosure norms, listing regulations and fraudulent and unfair trade practices.Suzlon, however, has now moved to contest the findings before the appellate tribunal.The company has undergone a significant turnaround over the past few years after overcoming a prolonged debt crisis and has emerged as one of the biggest beneficiaries of India's renewable energy push. It recently reported strong operational performance and remains one of the country's largest wind energy equipment manufacturers.The appeal before the SAT will determine whether the regulator's findings and penalties are upheld, modified or set aside. Until then, the Sebi order remains in force.(Disclaimer: Recommendations, suggestions, views, and opinions given by experts are their own. These do not represent the views of the Economic Times.)
