Using the Rs. 25lacs,he bought TATA POWER at Rs. 150 and it rallied to Rs. 1000 thereby making a neat Rs. 2.5-3crs.
4. 1989's budget was a game changer for RJ.

However RJ accepts that human pysche when it comes to owning a house.
RJ's current portfolio :

For more details: trendlyne.com/portfolio/supe…
RJ has said that he has made the bulk of his wealth by trading and not through long-term investing.

Infact, 80:20 rule applies here, 80% of the wealth is created by only 20% of the stocks in the portfolio.

RJ has always taken concentrated bets.
RJ believes in Trade & Invest Philosophy:

Trade is for creating capital, investing is for growing that capital.

In trading risk is extreme as compared to investing.

Most people think they are an investor however their mind is of a trader.
Trading is : De Fatafat & Le Fatafat

Few trading principles laid down by RJ:

1. Vadhare vadhare levanu, ghatare ghatare bechvanu.

Translated to: Buy when price is rising, sell when it is falling.
2. He practices pyramiding: After buying a stock if it goes up, it simply means the bet on the stock is right and hence he'll start pyramiding.

3. He doesn't believe in averaging his trading bets.

4.Know what to risk & know when to take loss.
5. Make a mistake that you can afford, so that you may live to make another one (Live to fight another day).

6. Know the trend, you can never know the depth (i.e. dnt set the targets, no one knows how far will it go).

7. Markets are always RIGHT.
8. Its not so easy to make money in the markets, and its more difficult to retain it.

9. Trading/Investing Tips are very injurious to financial health.
Thoughts on Leverage:

• Done in a measured manner they are a pleasure, if overdone they are problems

• One has to be emotion-less while using leverage

• There are moments where one should leverage and equally imp to know where one should abstain from using leverage
When it comes to investing:

1. Look at a combination of financials and management quality.

2. Understand the business model.

3. Understand the reasons for creating profits.

4. Galle mein kitna paisa hai: Cash flow of the company.

5. What are the entry barriers?
6. How will the company manage to make profits during challenging times.

7. Assess whether the attitude of the management has changed, as that could be a real game changer.
8. Patience will be tested, but your conviction will be rewarded.

9. Do not have unrealistic expectations from the market, it is not a Mahalaxmi Racecourse.

"If I get 18% p.a. from investing I am a King, if I get 22-24%, I am an Emperor".
Big money is made during big trends.

He had made huge money in spurts viz. year 1989-92, 2003-07, 2009-11 etc.

Conclusion: Strike, when the iron is hot!
If one does not have the financial expertise to understand and invest in business, simply invest in mutual funds where a professional money manager will take care of your funds.

Why we sold only CE's today ?

A small 🧵

Collaborated with @AdityaTodmal
• BNF reversed from 32155 (low made on Mar'8)

• One side rally to butcher the CE writers

• Gap up opening by ~1300 points

• From Mar'8 low till today open ~2800 point rally

• 2800 point rally in just 1.5days

• Trend on the larger TF still bearish
• Due to election results we decided no to carry any overnight positions

• Selling PE on the back of 2800 point rally would have been disastrous due to unfavorable R/R

• So we were very clear to short only CE's

• But then need to follow the trend

How to trade in options during high volatility i.e. India vix>22-23 ?

In the current scenario, option sellers who are deploying strangles are unable to make money
E.g.: If a trader is selling a strangle of Rs. 100 each leg then during a fast momentum on either side, one leg becomes 80 & the other one Rs. 200
So overall, the strangle seller is at a loss

Strangles & Straddles are easy to manage in low vix

During high vix, find reversals
