I'm 40.

I am financially free.

I owe it all to the world's most boring investing strategy.

Here's what I do (& how you can too): 1) The "boring" strategy?

Technofunda investing with a Core & Satellite system.

While everyone's chasing tips, options, and the next 10x meme stock...

I just buy great businesses at the right time and let them compound.

India is preparing its BIGGEST-EVER military drone procurement - orders worth $2 BILLION+ set to be placed with domestic manufacturers in 2026.

Import ban = only Indian companies qualify.

Here are 10 stocks sitting right in the crosshairs 🧵👇 Image ✍️ First, some numbers to put this in perspective:

🔸 India's drone market: $654 Mn (2024) → $1,437 Mn by 2029 — growing at 17% CAGR

🔸 Unit volumes to grow 6x — from ~10,800 to ~61,000 drones

🔸 Delivery window: 18 to 24 months after orders are placed

🔸 Govt has banned drone imports — domestic firms get the full benefit

The runway is long. The orders are real. 🇮🇳Image

A Mumbai-based portfolio manager who's seen 4 market crashes says:

80% of Indian investors lose money because of a single morning mistake, and almost everyone makes it.

Thread 🧵 Image 1/ He observed this pattern across Harshad Mehta, dot-com, 2008, and COVID.

Investors who look smart on paper:

- Good salary, IT or finance job
- No EMIs, no credit card debt
- Read Morgan Housel, follow finance YouTubers
- SIPs running on autopilot

Yet they still end up with:

- Blown-up portfolios in their 30s–40s
- One bad F&O year that wipes out 5 good ones
- A demat full of Yes Bank, Vodafone Idea, Suzlon… bought "for the long term"

Nifty Pharma just hit all-time highs.

But here's the thing nobody's talking about -

You don't need to read 100s Investor Presentations and annual reports

You need to ingest them with NotebookLM, then research with Claude.

Here are 8 powerful prompts that compress 200 hours of investing research into one weekend break.

Save this thread 🧵 Image Prompt 1: Stop Asking the Wrong Tool the Right Question.

NotebookLM finds. Claude thinks. Most investors never separate the two.

Load your filings, transcripts, and reports into NotebookLM first. Then bring the output here:

I've ingested [X SOURCES] into NotebookLM and pulled the key extracts below: [PASTE]

Here's my situation:

- The company or sector I'm researching: [NAME]
- What I already believe: [YOUR PRIOR]
- The specific question I need answered: [QUESTION]
- When I need to act on this: [TIMELINE]

Now think with me — don't just summarize.

1. The 3 non-obvious insights hiding in these extracts
2. What all these sources are pointing to collectively
3. Where they contradict each other — and which side is more credible
4. What's conspicuously absent from everything I've ingested
5. The one thing that would change my view entirely
6. A 3-sentence briefing I could share with another investor
7. The next source I should pull into NotebookLM

The library is built. Now give me the edge.

Everyone obsesses over the PE ratio.

Legendary Investor Peter Lynch barely used it alone.

He used something better. And after 15 years of my investing experience, I respect that approach even more…👇 Image A friend called me last week. Said "Vivek, Nifty PE is at 20, should I buy?"

I said look at the PEG ratio first.

He had no idea what I meant. So I explained it in a very simple way..
