Equity market cycles and current small cap cycle: landmine or goldmine?

In the last few years even 25% returns seems to be disappointing for most, yet one has to realise such returns don't come without risk. Risk can be of timing, valuations or just things not working out. Right now expectations are high - so highly probable you'll get disappointed.

Some context..Image Take 2 buckets - quality portfolio and the Sensex.

A quality stock is one which sustains high ROCE over a long time.

In 2000-08, quality portfolio vs sensex had similar PE, earnings and returns.

In 2008-18, quality portfolio PE jumped, sensex remained the same. However earnings growth for quality portfolio was 2x sensex. That's why quality PF got 18% returns vs 8% for sensex.

Why did this happen?

• Migration to growth because overall growth slowed downImage

Boarding passes, shopping, meetings, payments - It's interesting how most things are digital these days. Even solar! ☀

Recently, I came across SundayGrids - they claim to make solar investments easy for those without a rooftop. They have approached it differently. Image Business model:
1. SundayGrids partners with a host to install a solar plant in their premises;

2. Investors "reserve" power generation from that project for 15 years;

• More than stock name, investment approach must appeals more

• Tailwind - a wind that blows from behind a moving vehicle

• Example - pressure cooking co - what's the innovation? why did they deliver 0 returns for 10 years and then 60x?

@TIA_Investors - Market extremes (bear) comes once a decade and you maybe get 5 opportunities according to Buffett.

Do you have the capability to act in a big way on those 5 days?

Such opportunities come rarely.

Speaker 4 Krishna Kumar Karwa, MD Emkay Global @KarwaKK When to sell is as important as when to buy

Sell when you have a requirement of funds.
It's okay to pay taxes. Don't postpone selling decisions based on taxation.

Sell on events like
- development in biz or management
- capital mis allocations
- changes in industry dynamics

Theme: Recent Developments in Artificial Intelligence & Investment Implications - ChatGPT - peak traffic to declining usage. The use cases are limited. 30%+ of people going to ChatGPT and openAI is for codes. Another 20% is kids doing their homework. So is it really earth shaking?

AB Capital. Was part of Indian rayon then got spun off and listed separately.

One of the largest nbfc loan book and started as a wholesale lending company. But post ilfs most of the wholesale lenders got de-rated. But here a transformation happened. Here you have to first ask what do I like about this co?

- liability side - Because of strong parentage, they have access to capital at same cost as Bajaj finance. Mahindra too had npa of 10%+, but due to parentage they still had aaa+ rating.
