📌Free Float = Public Float(DII+FII+ MF+ Corporate+HNI+Retail)
So,
No. of Shares publicly traded which we buy/sell from exchange in everyday life.
📌For simplicity I assumed non-promoters shares though custodians & locked in shares should also be excluded.
2/8
📌High Free-Float = Good Governance(In general). Promoters less influence & other shareholders can exercise their rights.
📌Low Free-Float = More Promoter influence can easily manipulate stock price for their gain.
3/8
📌LOW FREE-FLOAT stocks with LOW INSTITUTION holding - GOOD for us (RETAIL)
Why ?
If Institutions holding 80-90% of Free Float, valuations will be High (low supply, stock price rise high). If they sell Price will drop drastically.
Smaller the Float Higher the Volatility.
4/8
Low free-float prices move higher quickly even if it gains attention of few investors.
Prime Candidate for de-listing.

I have my regular job (8-9 hr just like most of us), need to take care of my India, US Equity & Crypto investments and above all need to spend some quality time with my family too.
Finding right stocks which suits your profile isn't easy. Takes lot of time & info is scattered all over.
Compiling & making sense out of it is just cumbersome. Watching for alerts & news is another nuisance.
How to stay focused & not get diverted with new ideas every day ?

I faced all these CHALLENGES & I am sure most of us do. There is no one right solution. It's like trying to achieve salvation. No one path is right but Jumping paths will just leave you wandering.
Can transform it into #Screener if you want to know the stocks.

Before deep dive, lets ask a simple question with ourselves ->
Why do businesses borrow in Ist place❓
Ans - They need Capital for 1000's of business purposes but ultimate goal of all purposes is to Grow business itself.
Business growth simply means Revenue/Sales Growth.
3) Common sense - If a Company borrows capital but unable to grow it's Sales & Profits it should be Avoided.
There could be several reasons for this-
Bad Business environment
Govt/Regulatory hurdles
Bad Capital Allocation
Competition
Inefficient Management etc
