Sat Sat Go!
Car has gears.
1st gear, 2nd gear, 3th gear..
Think you bought a car and always drove at 1st gear. 10 years. The car has never tasted the wheel moving at 2nd or 3rd gear.
What do you about the engine? You expect that your car will move at 3rd after 10 years very smoothly? Never.
Your heart is the engine of the body. It has gears system also. Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 3..
Zone 1 is at rest and normal act. At this zone, heart pumps at 50-60% of its max capacity. 90-110 beat per minute.
Your heart beats at Zone 2 when 110-130 BPM. Zone 3 is higher and zone 4 is even more.
In our childhood, you ran. Unless and until you play, ask yourself, when did you run last time?
Very light activity. Zone 1. We operate there for rest of our life.
To take care of the car and engine, we put some much of effort. We need to do servicing regularly.
Fun fact is...you can replace the car, not the body in this birth.
Majority of the mid-thirty, early fourties, have heart weak. Cardiac issues are not a shocker. It is part of our accepted setup of social fabrics.
When I understood this, I was never the same person I was before. I planned to do jogging a few days, in addition to my morning walk.
But I still was not doing jogging (zone 2) or running (zone 3).
Until I build a system. My system was simple.
I set an alarm before going to bed on Friday night. Alarm was to remind me for writing a sticky note on my door.
Sat Sat Go!
Saturday morning, I see that sticky note on my door. And I will run. After I return from running, I will put a tick mark on the sticky note.
Guess what ?
I have been running or jogging every Saturday. Almost 45 weeks / year.
Learning from the book , Atomic Habit by James Clear.
You don't raise to level of your goals. You fall to the level of your system.
System corrects you! Not your goals.
Today is Saturday. I don't need any sticky note anymore. I remember the writing on my sticky note...

Sectors
Retail investors are obsessed about buying multibaggers. The fact is...60-70% of stock return is tied with the sectors.
Even if the stock bets are incorrect, and the sector is right, there is a high chance that you will make money. I'm looking at these sectors now:
1. NBFC with MFI book
2. Auto ancillary moving to Aerospace
3. Platform business sitting at operating Leverage
4. CRDMO and Hospital
5. Manufacturing companies with explosive growth
6. Jwellers
7. Wires and Cables
8. Chemical companies with increasing revenues
9. QSR space
10. Retails
Fun fact: very few of them are included in Nifty 50.
When the fabric of the economy changes, broader index cannot capture immediately. Eventually it does, with a lag.
After 10 years, what do you think which sector will have more weightage in the Nifty 50?
1. IT or
2. CDMO or
3. Coal
Direction is important to understand. Stock pick is secondary.
I talk to people and they tell me that they are buying IT segment because it is a contra and value bets. 20-30% allocation in IT big companies.
People bought HDFC Bank because they listened to the fund manager saying ... it is a value buy!
And these people want to outperform the market!
My Strategy: If I am taking a contra call, it must be max 15% of my portfolio. And I will not keep buying the stock price tanks. Bcz allocation is my guardrail.
P.S. I took a contra and value call on NBFC MFI with max allocation 15%. A system is more important than my emotions.

Land and Price
Think you have 100 cent of land.
And by some magic, every year, it expands 20%.
Starting with 100 cent
1st year = 120 cent
2nd year = 144 cent
3rd year = 173 cent
You get the idea.
Let's say, the locality values your land 2 times of area.
Value in the beginning = 200 units
1st year = 2x of land area = 2 times of 120 = 240
2nd year = 2x of land area = 2 x 144 = 288
You get the idea.
Easy so far. Right ?
Now, let's say .. sometimes, there are floods in your locality. The price of land may reduce. Not 2x. Let's say 1.5x.
And sometimes, new airport is coming nearby. Land value will shoot up. 3x.
But, let's say, the land area grows at 20% on a constant basis.
Now, depending on the time you look at your land, the price will fluctuate.
Sometimes, 1.5x and sometimes 3x or even more.
If you want to buy a land in that area, when will you prefer to buy?
Answer is...when the price is 1.5x you can buy. Land area will grow next year. Apart from this, if the price goes up to 3x , you double your money. Even though the land area does not. This is re-pricing or re-rating.
Let's say, you buy the land at 1.5x and then stay put. Land area will keep growing at 20%. And you get double engine.
Land growing plus price doubling!
Replace the analogy with book value (land) and price to book for a lender.
ROE 20% means the land (book value) is growing at 20%. Price to book is the multiple 1.5x or 3x.
P.S. I was lucky to sell HDFC Bank when price to book was going down.
I was lucky to buy AU Bank at 2.6x with 7% allocation. Now, AU Bank trades at 4x. With 11% allocation. The thesis was simple. Buy the land with flood and wait for airport to be announced. Similar opportunity was abundant in MFI space one or two quarters back.
I am planning to record a paid course where I will explain in a way that you cannot forget. And the concept gets cemented in your mind. Obviously, it will take some time to record. Idea is to add value to your journey.

Direct Equity vs Mutual fund
Both are good and have their own advantages and disadvantages.
If someone does not want to take headache of research, mutual fund is a beautiful tool to invest.
Question comes ... Shall I invest in active or passive mutual funds ?
Over a long term, 9 out of 10 funds will underperform the benchmark. For large and midcap index.
For small cap funds, chances of under performamce is slightly lower.
Does it mean that index funds are better.
Recall what Rajeeb Thakkar said once..
All the index funds underperform the index itself. Bcz of cost.
Mutual funds are good with right expectations.
It gives you a slightly lower return than the index.
This must be the right expectation.
P. S. Mutual funds can beat the inflation comfortably without doing any hardwork

Facts
Nifty small cap 250 has come out of the base after almost two years. And it is now touching at an all time high.
Big mutual fund managers are calling out this index at higher PE multiples. And they are anchoring their funds with a large cap water base.
Valuation matters. With earning.
People has been calling out Nvidea in bubble. The stock has printed money bcz the earnings have been equally fast. Recent quarter, the guidance has been further upgraded.
Valuation matters. With earning.
Don't miss out the "with earning" part.
P.S. Only 30% of The IPOs In the last 2 Yrs have outperformed Nifty 500 by 5%. With Nifty smallcap 250 zooming now, the IPO will fall from the sky like rain. I will remain cautious and never apply in a quick money scheme on listing gain , aka IPO.

Active Mutual funds
Active mutual funds in large and medium cap space will underperform the benchmark. In 10 years. With 85-90% of the mutual funds.
Still, to feed our ego, the majority of the people will do SIP in these funds.
If you think , this is a wonderful theme to make money.
AUM business. It is easy to track. Check the fast growing mutual funds.
If industry AUM is growing at 15%, and any AMC is growing at a faster pace, it is shouting out loud. I'm gaining market share.
The AUM will be bigger with time. And cost will not increase at the same rate... Activating the most deadly denonator, called operating Leverage.
Track AUM growth and Equity share. And it takes less than one minute for each AUM business.
And there are only handful companies in this space.
1. Largest: SBI
2. ICICI prudential AMC
3. HDFC AMC
You will see a weird pattern here. Bigger gets bigger at a faster pace.
And smaller AMC keeps showing historical data because their AUM growth is slower than Industry growth!
You just need 30 min in a quarter to track all these AMC businesses.
Now experts will scare you uttering one matra. Repeatedly. Valuation.
Take three years forward earning here and calculate PEG. It will make sense.
Another set of people. They will tell you that how will I know my X AMC will remain market leader.
Answer is...you don't have to know. Because no CEO or manager or guru knows it. You have to track. Every quarter. And assess.
Remember?
When fact changes, I change my mind. What do you do, Sir ?

A beautiful way to break the loop is to read books!
There is no good day to start something than today. No one is stopping you !

Milky mist management - Concall Notes
95% of the paneer sold in India is from unorganized sector. Only 5% is organized.
Also, a high proportion of the paneer sold in unorganized sector is analogue paneer (a cheap, factory-made imitation of traditional dairy paneer that uses vegetable oils, starches, and chemical additives instead of pure milk).
Govt/FSSAI is planning to ban Analogue Paneer.
Milky Mist is having almost 20% share of organized market.
Their capacity utilization is just 50%, can generate 3X revenue from the current plant.

A very Boring Routine
People are mocking my process often saying that it is dead compounding. Well, I have nothing to defend.
I am a simple person with a plan. My routine and process are boring. Here it goes..
1. Get up and drink water and go to daylight before checking the phone. Non-negotiable.
2. Go for a walk for at least 20 min. Non-negotiable. Run weekly once at least. Non-negotiable.
3. Return, take bath and have a healthy breakfast. The menu can change but not the concept
A. Protein 25 gm
B. Nuts (almond, Kaju) for healthy fat
C. Milk or some dairy products
D. Any one fruit based on session
E. Chia seeds for fibre.
It's at no scale cheap, in fact, a very expensive one.
But my thought process is clear that I get only one body in this birth. I have to take care. Cars, Bikes, Netflix, movie tickets are not my priority. No OTT subscription I have currently. Only Claude and ChatGPT subscription for boosting my work and research.
You may criticize my routine. It is very monotonous. The fact is...I do not gulp any pill and plan to not gulp any in coming at least three decades.
P.S. The biggest challenge I face is... getting separated from the community because my approach is different. I have to learn to live with this.
