A thread 🧵 on
Rakesh Jhunjhunwala's Mantras to Pick Stocks ,
There are the aspects which, according to Jhunjhunwala, should be followed to pick multi-bagger stocks:
1) Keep an open mind
Be receptive to what the world is showing you. By 'keep an open mind',
RJ means that one has to observe their surroundings. Some of the great stock ideas come when you least expect it. Your observation about how everyone is using a certain technology, product or service & which listed player is behind it can help you land great stock op-portunities.
2) Opportunity
one needs to assess the market opportunity as to how big an opportunity the company is looking at as its market size grows. The opportunity and market size should move in tandem. This is what provides a long runway for growth..
There has to be a big change or a turnaround happening. The greatest wealth is earned when change happens, Rakesh would say. The business model should have entry barriers
3) Corporate governance
is about the management and how someone runs their company their behaviour with their staff, vendors, distributors and others and their behaviour with money. Are they running their business with fru-gality? One needs to look into this stuff.
A hard-working and honest management is important. Rakesh excelled at studying people and betting on them. Why he loved Tata Group stocks was only because of the sheer integrity of the management
4)Competitive ability
The company must have something superior in terms of competition against its peers, be it the brand, technology or capital. It should be a market leader.
5) Valuations
Finally, there is the price at which you are buying it. Even a great company bought at the wrong price (high valuations) will hurt your returns. So, price is important. Learn to value a company. Read valuations.
The last one
6) Constant monitoring
Even though a long-term investor, he would keep monitoring how his portfolio companies were performing. He would often turn up in investor calls to quiz the management about the business prospects or other actions.
If he felt the initial thesis was failing or the business model hadn't turned out the way he anticipated, he would prefer to sell his stakes.

It’s Really a interesting story on How did #HDFCBank bank got its Name ?
Deepak Satwalekar, managing director of HDFC, was possessive about the HDFC brand. After all, the bankers were all outsiders.(he means Aaditya Puri )
How would they view the value system at HDFC and its brand? 'Until their credentials are established clearly, I am reluctant to lend the name, he told his colleagues in private.
they didn't want to risk their reputation by officially adopting the new entity.
There were many brainstorming sessions to break the deadlock.
'Why don't we call it Bombay International Bank?' Satwalekar suggested to Aditya over lunch one day.
'You can call it that,' Aditya told him, but I will catch a flight and go back to Kuala Lumpur.
