I did a space with Prince
@AI_Feb21 last week. The topic was "Investing In Current Times". The link is the quoted tweet. Short summary here 👇
➡️Space was essentially for value investors
➡️Market kya lagta hain - I have no short term view. Correction is very healthy and though its always painful, its very much required. For LT investors, it's an opportunity. Markets still uncomfortable from overall perspective. Large pockets of overvaluation. Some are correcting. Others will. Excesses always get taken out over time. At the same time, there are always value buys in any market. One needs to dig deep. Currently most opportunities only in ignored, contrarian, temporary headwind sectors. Anything doing well is priced to perfection and beyond and offers very little margin of safety. Always benchmark your returns based on the risk you take.
➡️Uninvestable (3 parameters - management, balance sheet, valuation perspective. Any one parameter ticked makes the company uninvestible) companies in SME will be 95%, Microcap & Smallcap 80-90%, Midcap 70%, Largecap 50% .
➡️Am ready for a 30% fall in pf. But I believe most of what I have are tennis balls, which will bounce back. I essentially have a long-term bend and I am making investments with a 2-3-4-5 year horizon.
➡️Doing lot of work, meeting companies, making a list, as many companies are good but valuations are not in favor. On deep corrections, these can be looked at.
➡️Great companies invested at wrong time, can have huge impact on your pf. Opportunity cost of last 4 years golden period is lost if invested in these.
➡️Stay away from euphoria. In prev spaces had talked about Defence, Railways, SME, Microcaps, etc. Many stocks have corrected 40%. Same will happen in many theme-based stocks where valuations are out of whack. Some stocks are still unattractive even after 40% falls.
➡️Be careful of management guidance. Be extremely wary of managements which guide things like 100% CAGR growth till 2030
➡️Sectors I like - Financials, Cement, Paper, Energy, Sugar, select chemicals, select Building Materials, Real Estate
