How many stocks should you have in your portfolio? 🤔

Here's a 🧵 on Ideal Portfolio Mix ⤵️

#StockMarket #Investment
An investor majorly faces two types of risk: market risk and company specific risk.

Market risk is certainly inevitable but non-market risk i.e. the uncertainty of a specific area of the market or specific stock can be managed through proper diversification.

#nifty50 #NASDAQ
Diversification basically means spreading your investments in various categories of assets, which helps earn the desired returns without exposing your portfolio to high risk.

How much diversification is enough?

Shocking Stats on Cancer Incidence in India 🤯

◉ 1 in 10 Indians will develop cancer during their lifetime & 1 in 15 will die of the disease.

◉ India had an estimated 11.6 lakh new cancer cases and around 7.84 lakh cancer deaths in 2018.
What about the treatment?

◆ India has only 0.98 oncologists per 10 lakhs population and just 62 dedicated cancer care hospitals in the country 😲

◆ That's not it, 30-50% cases are not reported in India!

#cancer
Given India’s large population density and geography, the limited number of specialists limits treatment of cancer, especially in rural areas.

The highly inadequate infrastructure is the reason, a majority of patients have to travel thousands of miles for treatment.

Ratios can be misleading if you don't read between the lines! 🧐

For instance,
Company A margin = 5%
Company B margin = 12%

If both companies are eerily similar, which company will you invest in?

Blind guess: Company B?

You could be wrong. Here's why ⤵️
What if we say, despite a low margin, company A generates more Return On Invested Capital (ROIC) than company B! 🤯

Company A's ROIC = 90%
Company B's ROIC = 60%

Don't believe?

Let's breakdown ROIC to understand better ⤵️

#investing
ROIC = Profit / Capital

This can be split into:
Margin = Profit / Revenue
Turnover = Revenue / Capital

So, ROIC = Margin * Turnover
