If ever leave Twitter, will be proud of 2 things 1. Contribution during covid in apr'21 2. Continuous rant on overvaluation amplified from Oct'21
Here is master thread on each of those rants. Rarely asked but show some love if it made any +ve difference to your investing. journey
An analysis which I did during Covid crash with @MashraniVivek on which sectors and stocks were strong, and we did pick pharma, chemical early cycle. Though we do not know where market is heading, doing such exercise always helps to find
strength when market bottoms. Of course, it requires much more reading and conviction building and hence should be taken only as a starting point. Here is how this list has been generated 1. Pick top 500 companies 2. Find list of companies which have fallen < 10% in last 3 months
Totally 61 out of 500 stocks.
This is how the sectors come up.
✍️Auto and Capital Goods stand out
✍️Do not ignore defence for sheer count as there are few companies in sector
✍️Next pocket looks like few beaten down sectors/stocks where may be value is emerging - FMCG, Pharma
🧵A thread of how a typical investing journey looks like by studying journey of Infosys from 2996-2022 in numbers.
✍️Infosys has generated a CAGR of 36.57%
✍️Infosys has given cumulative return of 333,652%
Quite impressive, is not it? However, the journey was not so smooth
✍️In last 25+ years while delivering this return, Infosys went through one 80%+ drawdown, two 50%+ drawdowns and five 30%+ drawdowns in terms of price fall
✍️ Time periods could be more frustrating the % fall at times. This is where 2020 Covid crash was though severe
but not frustrating as not many have gone through the time duration pain. Infosys longest drawdown period lasted for more than 5 years+. 2001-2006 and 2010-2013 , peak level investors did not see any return. Here are 5 worst drawdown periods for Infosys
🧵A thread on how company's books are cooked and 📒why reading annual report is important
This is a company where this is how its assets looked like. Notice 25% of assets are intangibles and there is an asset called - Business Commercial Rights

with which the Company has exclusive rights for a period of 30 years to provide various

5. Use social media to gather ideas but use your own filters
6. Above all, remember this. Both bulls are bears are thumping their own ego, nothing else, not their fault, human (me too guilty - both sides).
A thread🧵 on so called market traps of transitionary performing stocks which leads to retail getting stuck. Doing as lot of tweets floating on such stocks.
Will take example of one of such stock with my own twitter history though I never presented in public #Neulandlabs
1. If you think, every performing stock will become an Asian paints, you are in for disaster. 99% of businesses are cyclic, only quantum differs. So, either do not overpay or if overpaying a bit and have confidence in the business, then,
