Mail from RBL Bank MD & CEO (Interim). Assume this is true (I hope it’s true). Key words: “Any other financial parameter.” Image
Now ask: Why was the existing CEO asked by RBI to proceed on leave and why did it appoint Mr. Yogesh Dayal as an Additional Director on the Board of the Bank?
Am trying to reconcile these two seemingly conflicting thoughts. Current CEO says that RBI’s actions have nothing to do with bank’s “financial parameters,” whatever they may be. And RBI makes CEO go on leave and appoints someone on the RBL Bank’s Board.
How could both these thoughts be reconciled?
Disclosure: No position in bank’s stock or derivatives

There is never just one cockroach in the kitchen. This is factually incorrect. If you take out all but one of the cockroaches from the kitchen, then there will be just one cockroach in the kitchen. 🤣
But the metaphor of "there's never just one cockroach in the kitchen" is valid for business and investment analysis.
Basically, the metaphor is about information asymmetry - there is information about some shit happening in a company - which is not yet public information. And that it will take time for this information to be fully disseminated.

Let’s make no bones about this. On INR 420 cr. of revenues in FY 21, Licious lost INR 370 cr.
Trying to disrupt a model (local butcher shop) which has been around hundreds of years (think Lindy effect) requires u too not only sell at a price not too different from local butcher price but also to spend a bomb on logistics, packaging, and customer acquisition (advertising)
The idea that e-com players don’t have to pay rent (key cost for bricks and mortar players) looks attractive but only if you ignore that e-com players must also pay “rent” to book “ad space” on TV, print, and social media for acquiring customers.

Read a few media stories on what's happening in spot markets in nat gas that do not mention anything about what's happening in the futures market. For example, see price in April 2022. Image
Whenever shortages appear, the typical manager simply can’t wait to expand capacity and thereby plug the hole through which money is showering upon him." - Buffett
When shortages finally occur in a commodity industry, the rebound to prosperity frequently produces a pervasive enthusiasm for expansion that, within a few years, again creates over-capacity and a new profitless environment. In other words, nothing fails like success. — Buffett

If you think about it, we successfully multitask a lot of the time. Walking and talking on the phone for example. When we drive we can’t just focus on the steering wheel or the rear view mirror.
Our moms and grandmoms multi tasked seemingly effortlessly. Just think of a typical day in their lives when they were married, had kids, and had a home to run.
I don’t think they would say sorry no tiffin box for you today because I have to run the laundry.

This I agree with. While 100 Baggers by @chriswmayer is a fabulous book, there is a need for literature on building the conviction to hold.
And it’s not easy to develop a conviction to hold on to things that should be held. There are these “demons” that will enter the mind of the investor, which will prevent them from holding on to what will turn out to be an outstanding stock.
Demon # 1: The market is too expensive, so I should sell this business. This demon shifts the investor’s focus from the economics of the underlying business to the markets.

Don’t take credit risk. Stick to quality companies. Hmmmm
Are HDFC Bank and Kotak Mahindra Bank quality companies? If so, then did they become so without taking credit risk? Answer: No.
There is risk in everything. If, for example, you refuse to take credit risk while investing in bonds, you will only buy treasuries. But treasury bonds are highly risky in the sense that they almost guarantee a long term mediocre (or even negative) real return after inflation.
