Jan 2018 - MCAP - $2.3 trn GDP $2.6trn
Jan 2022 - MCAP - (est) $4.3 trn GDP $3.3trn

Difference : in 4 Years for a total addition of $700bn in GDP, we rewarded Equity investors an additional $2,000bn in Mcap. That's almost 3x.

1/n
Corp Profit to GDP stands at about 2.5-2.7% roughly. So that's about an incremental $20bn in additional profits added into the total mix. And we are roughly valuing this at 100x

Note that This assumes ALL incremental GDP comes from listed companies

Yeah Seems about normal.

2/n
Another statistic:

Incremental GDP addition this year:

USA - $ 1,250bn (5% on base of $21trn)

China - $ 750bn (5% on base of $15trn)

India - $ 270bn (9% on base of $3trn)

We make so much noise about the greatness of India's growth

3/n
Fact is China + US still add incrementally to global GDP an amount which is equal to +60% of India's total GDP even today !

Oh did I forget to mention that California GDP = India?

But Mcap of Indian listed companies is reaching a whole new level.

4/n
The most passionate reasoning these days is that there is "very little ownership" of stocks amongst Indian households unlike countries such as US.

But if you think tht 70mn demat + MF a/c's = stock ownership & that penetration is only 5% of total population, then ur wrong

5/n
Why's that ? Well because:

35% of India's population is BPL. Forget demat, stocks, financial assets, they don't know where their next meal is coming from.

Another 35% are those who are basically running hard to stay in one place.

6/n
Another 20% don't even earn or are beyond risk taking ability (below age or above 65)

That leaves us with 10% addessible population who can basically invest in Equities.

That's roughly 14cr people. & We r already at 50% penetration !

This is where you are at.

7/n
With 7cr people buying stocks thinking 15% CAGR from whenever they enter the market till the time they retire 25-30 years out is their birth right, what you have is avg valuations of better managed Indian Cos, growing at 10-15% CAGR r now trading at +40-50x earnings!

8/n
Valuations of companies from traditionally wealth destroying sectors have now suddenly increased 50-100% in the last 3-6 months, that too with no ostensible change in operating environment. So how much of the future prospects are we in a hurry to price in today itself?

9/n
Last but not the least, if compounding is the 8th wonder of the world, mean reversion is the 9th wonder.

If u go up too fast too, far away from long term Avg, sooner or later u will come back.

Today's returns are simply being borrowed from tomorrow's returns.

Don't want 2 play party pooper but while small/midcap stocks can continue ringing d cash registers on d long side 4 d nxt few wks, TBH IMHO this is d time to b CASHING OUT - Not d best of times 2 b pyramiding or hunting actively for "breakouts" & "long term buy ideas"

1/n
Sure thing stocks fell vertically by 50-70% and have risen 50-300% frm the bottoms.

But most of them are STILL down for the Yr.

Narrative, flows, liquidity notwithstanding, stocks are SLAVE to earnings grwth

While we may see a near term resurgence in demand

2/n
There is no way of telling hw much is pent up demand & hw much is d new normal. It is v likely tht we may see the new normal (frm a medium term perspective) adjusted lower.

Consider this - most stks were STILL trading at valuations abve their 2009/2013 troughs in Mar'20!

The stock market is inefficient. Period!

People buy & sell in the stock mkt daily.

These people have their own underlying biases & perhaps flawed thought processes which makes them take those buy sell decisions

When a trade is exchanged betwn an inexperienced & a smart

1/n
Investor, it transfers money frm one pocket to another

But when 2 idiots make up d entire mkt while d experienced hands sit by d sidelines, what do u call tht situation exactly ?

The madness of crowds.

2/n
In the short run it's the collective decision making of the crowd that drives prices.

And most analysts (sell side or buy side) spin their logic / story around those prevailing prices.

It takes sheer guts to take d 'contrarian' route

Betwn 1985-2000 & again 2009-19 host of "quality" & "growth" stks performed extremely well in India

Betwn 2003-08 was the era of cyclicals largely based on the "investment theme"

So 25 of last 35 yrs hve gone largely towards quality / growth theme . That's a long time !

1/7
Today most 'fear" over priced consumption related stocks and during onset of any mkt correction, most are cheering a fall in "expensive" consumption stocks .

What does all of this mean ?

5/7
It means only one thing:

Nothing in the mkt is permanent in nature.
But then 10 yrs is a long time! Seeing is believing. And it's easy to extrapolate things into perpetuity (favorite time frame: "next 10 yrs")
But themes keep shifting. At first subtly. Then abruptly.
