Lot of IPOs hitting the market. As a general rule, I stay away from applying for IPOs. Here are a few reasons why πŸ‘‡πŸΌ

1️⃣ Companies are dressed up a year or so before IPO to allure investors

2️⃣ Insiders get an opportunity after waiting for years to liquidate their investment
3️⃣ Most IPOs are aimed at giving insiders an exit rather than raising growth capital for a company

4️⃣ I look at IPOs 3 to 4 quarters out, this gives me enough clarity on what the company has done post raising funds. By this time insiders had liquidated whatever they wanted to.
5️⃣ The initial exuberance dies down post 3 to 4 quarters and price action settles down

This strategy has worked out for me quite well and has prevented me from sucking into the euphoria of market.
Lots of Examples being throw at this post of IRCTC, Happiest Mind, Burger King, DMart.

I do not apply for 1 lot of listing gains, my portfolio moves by more than that in a given day.

Applying for an IPO for listing gains = gambling (in my opinion)

Lesson from Super Investors πŸ‘‡πŸΌ
Case Study #1
Company: Mastek
Super Investor: Ashish Kacholia aka @LuckyInvest_AK

@LuckyInvest_AK is praised for his stock picks in a bull market.

Very few realize the patience and temperament required to hold through a stock position in a bear market.
As per public filings, we know Ashish sir, picked up a 1.73% stake in @Mastekltd sometime between Jun and Sep of 2018.

The Oil drop in Reliance Logo has been replaced with a leaf #RelianceAGM
Okay, that's the foundations logo.
Moving on.

50% of EBITDA came from consumer business. Reliance is no longer an oil and chemical company.
Reliance Retail is 6x the size of next competitor in organized retail.

It's a shame that Walmart and not Reliance acquired Flipkart.

1. What is index investing?
2. Why S&P 500, Nasdaq 100 and DIJA are different?
3. How to create your own indexes?

Let's dive right in.
You may have noticed at the start of every book, there is a page which lists out various chapters and the page number for each chapter.

This is called the index of contents of the book.

It helps you understand what is where and give you a general idea how to read the book.
Similarly in the world of finance, we have financial indexes that are used to indicate where the overall market is trading.

Is it high or is it low?
Is it cheap or is it expensive?

These questions can be answered by looking at the index.
