On Adani assets -

“fantastic,” “irreplaceable”

“About 25% of India’s air traffic passes through their airports & 25-40% of India’s cargo volume goes through their ports. The biggest competitors are actually the Indian govt, not the fastest running horse in the race.”

On Adani Green -

“Adani Green Energy is by far the fastest & largest pvt sector, green energy co in India. They’re rolling out almost 3 GW annually. So, so I think some of their assets are fantastic. Countries like India need to make the energy transition"

On corporate governance -

“A lot of US tech companies are still la-la land if you look at governance practices. The serious governance issues are in tech, such as stock-based compensation and how they account for that”

On corporate governance -

“A lot of governments have come and gone in that period. Frauds typically don’t last 30 years – three months, three years, maybe, not 30 years.

“There’s been a lot of value creation over the years or decades, actually.”

Today's headline is, Bank of Japan.

Bigger question - Is Japan (finally) exiting deflation ?

10 points.

1. Japan has been in a DEFLATIONARY phase for 25 years.

2. Companies refrained from passing through costs to consumers even when input prices rose. Instead, they cut wages.
3. As a result, Japanese companies saw 7–8% avg annual earnings growth. In the same period though, Japan's economy trend growth fell from 4% in 1990 to 0.2% or so now

4. So Japanese corporate earnings growth outpaced GDP growth quite handsomely
5. BUT this corporate behavior created DEFLATION

6. To explain - households have not envisaged income growth because wages have not risen & personal consumption/economy thus moved towards a contractionary zone

I spoke with the Fertiliser Secy, GoI today.

Very important (and interesting) takeaways.

10 points.

1. Nano urea is part of supply chain now

2. Will make 17 crore bottles of Nano Urea next year. This would be equal to 75 lakh metric tons of urea

1/4 @fertmin_india #stocks
3. KEY - One bag of Uurea would translate into 100 bottles of Nano Urea. One bottle of Nano Urea is as effective as one bag of Urea. So efficiency bgoes up 100X

4. Scientists estimate that 2/3rd of all urea consumption can be replaced by nano urea

@fertmin_india #stocks

2/4
5. 350 lakh metric tons of urea consumed a yr, 200 lakh metric tons can be replaced by Nano Urea

6. Will not have to pay subsidy on 200 lakh metric tons of Urea

7. Nano DAP has also been developed by IFFCO & Coromandel, close to being approved

Gas Pipeline Connecting Russia to Germany Shut !

Quick 10 point explainer.

1. Gazprom announced on Friday evening an indefinite shutdown of Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline. This seems to be in response to G7 decision to impose a price cap on Russian oil.

#Europe #stocks
2. Gazprom cited an oil leak during maintenance ops & said the pipeline would not restart until repairs were implemented

3. This issue was dismissed by Siemens Energy: “As a turbine manufacturer, we can affirm that such a finding is not a reason to stop ops”

#Europe #stocks
4. Moscow justified previous supply cuts by the absence of a turbine sent to Canada for repair & which could not be returned to it because of Western sanctions.

5. Germany, where the turbine is located today, assures it is Moscow that is blocking its return.

We spoke with Viktor Shvets, MD, Macquarie Group.

Strong & clear views.

Link - tinyurl.com/3dzbvrws

Here are the TOP 20 takeaways.

1. Markets are skirting a recession & not yet pricing in a full blown global recession

(1/9)
2. Need substantially worse numbers for a full-blown recession

3. Central Banks will start changing their tightening policies by end of 2022

4. You will find communication from CBs will start changing at the end of this year & into 23

(2/9)
5. Sometime in 2023, probably by the middle of the yr or later, Central banks will again cut rates, & we will swing back from QT to QE once again

6. Towards the end of 2023 & in 2024, in my view, all the compression of fiscal deficits right now, will reverse itself

7. What we are seeing is a disruption of the global goods, services, commodity & labor markets. But it is not an embedded inflation

8. My view is that inflation globally will start to come down rapidly in the next 12 months

We spoke with S. Naren, CIO, ICICI Prudential AMC.

Link - twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Here are 20 TOP takeaways,

1. We follow processes; when we see greed, we are cautious & when we see fear, we are positive

2. In debt funds, floating rate funds should do very well

(1/9)
3. Don't know why floating rate funds doing poorly, actually they should do very well

4. Right now market is NEITHER in greed zone NOR in fear zone

5. FIIs selling & locals buying - its neither greed nor fear. In the middle now. Recommend asset allocation, SIPs.

(2/9)
6. Pick out sectors/stocks where FIIs have sold very aggressively - look for ideas here

7. Pick out the sectors/stocks where locals have bought aggressively (mid/smallcaps largely) - sell stocks here

8. Many mid-smallcaps still @ 30-50x PEs, invest via SIPs & STPs now

(3/9)
