Self Propelling Cycles

We are surrounded by self propelling cycles.

Money: The more money you have, the easier it gets to make more money. The rich getting richer is a feature, not a bug.


Fitness: The more you move, the fitter you get. The fitter you get, the more you move. We end up thinking some people have blessed bodies.


Business: The lower your price, the more you sell. The more you sell, the lower your price. Call it economies of scale to sound smart.


Economy: Income pushes production and production pushes income. In a generation or two, a poor country becomes South Korea.


Social media: You see what you like & share. You like & share what you see. We polarize our opinions and lose the ability to see things neutrally. The sickulars and the bhakts going mad at each other.


Markets: Prices drive narratives and narratives drive prices. That’s why we see bubbles, and even the collapse of Lehman Brothers.


Reading: The more you read, the more you want to read. The more you want to read, the more you read. How does she manage to read so much? Because she loves it.


Relationships: You determine who your friends are. Your friends determine who you become. Choose the right companions.


We are surrounded by self propelling cycles. It just takes a kick start.

Mutual funds sahi hai! But which one?

Image
Investing in equity is unarguably one of the best, if not the best, investment options available to the long-term investors. If the economy has to grow, businesses in the country have to flourish; and if businesses flourish, so will the market price of these businesses and the investors’ wealth. Also, investing through mutual funds (MF) is the only sensible way to invest in equity for the majority of investors as against stock-picking . In the last couple of years a large number of Indian investors have realised this fact which is reflected in the steadily rising amounts being managed by the MF schemes. However, countless retail investors are observed confused about finding the best MF schemes for them. The misleading advertisements and mis-selling by the distributors make the matter worse. This article is an attempt to inform the readers about which MF is right for the purpose of long-term wealth creation while minimising the risks. To outline briefly, there are two types of equit...

How to Outperform Professional Investors Effortlessly

Image
You can outperform most professional investors with zero effort. Yes, it is guaranteed . We will first understand the why part of it and then the how part of it. The WHY Part Mathematics of the market: you and me Let’s imagine a simplistic scenario. There is only one stock listed in the stock market. Only one stock of only one company. And there are only two investors in the market—you and me. On a given day—any day, but let’s say 1st January 2022—the price of the stock is Rs. 100. You and I trade in that stock. When I sell, you buy; when I buy, you sell. On another given day—any day, but let’s say 31st December 2022—the price of the stock is Rs. 115. What’s the total amount of money you and I made? The answer is Rs. 15. If you earned Rs. 4, I earned Rs. 11. If you earned Rs. 20, I lost Rs. 5. If you earned nothing, I earned Rs. 15. Plain arithmetic. But wait. We also paid the brokerages, taxes and advisory fees. Let’s assume these amounts totaled to Rs. 3. Now how much you and I ea...

The Magic Formula for Investing in the Stock Market (Book Review: The Little Book That Beats the Market by Joel Greenblatt)

Image
One should always be suspicious of words like ‘secret’, ‘shortcut’, ‘formula’ etc. when it comes to investing, or most other things in life for that matter. Generally, there are no shortcuts in life. In the end, you must log-out of the Netflix and do the tedious jobs of working-out, eating broccoli and analysing a business in detail. Basically, almost all successful long-term equity investing is about (1) estimating future earnings of a business and (2) buying them at a price lower than the ‘value’ corresponding to those future earnings. This is a tough thing to do, no matter what ‘formula’ you have. Earlier I had written a piece on why most individual investors cannot beat the market-returns and it does not make sense for them to pick individual stocks . Forget about part-timers; majority of professional investors fail to beat the index-returns after accounting for their fees and transaction costs. Hence, it makes sense for most investors to buy the index and end up being an abo...

Book Review and Summary: Why We Sleep by Dr. Matthew Walker

Image
A living being is most vulnerable to the innumerable dangers in its surroundings while it is asleep. Further, a sleeping creature cannot hunt, eat or indulge in reproduction. In spite of that every species studied to date sleeps. Why is that so? Has evolution made a blunder by incorporating sleep in living organisms? Obviously not. Benefits of sleep outweigh, by wide margins, the obvious hazards caused by it. Sleep does vast variety of functions, without which it is not possible for brain and body to work. Not surprisingly, humans are the only species that intentionally deprive itself of sleep. In the book ' Why We Sleep ', Dr. Matthew Walker , a sleep researcher for two decades, explains innumerable functions of sleep and detrimental effects of lack of it. He unravels the underlying science along with description of numerous experiments supporting these findings. The brilliance of the author is reflected in his ability to explain the complex science of sleep witho...

Book Review: Sapiens (by Yuval Noah Harari)

Image
Where are the other Humans ? Tigers, lions, leopards and jaguars are evolutionary siblings (Genus panthera ). So are horses, zebras and donkeys (Genus Equus ). Where are our evolutionary siblings? From about 2 million years ago to until around 30-40 thousand years from now, our sibling species lived on this planet. We are Homo Sapiens . They were Homo Erectus, Homo Floresiensis, Homo neanderthalensis (the Neanderthals), and others. No, they were not monkeys. They were Humans . The other members of Genus Homo . Somehow, they became extinct, but we survived. Perhaps we had played a role in the extinction of the Neanderthals ; but we’re not quite sure. Slowly, we spread out from Africa to the rest of the world, and we are thriving—at least for now. We chose to call our humble selves Homo Sapiens ; meaning ‘wise man’ in Latin. Nearly fifty millennia ago, a magical spark happened to our brains that enabled us to imagine things. We call it the Cognitive Revolution, when we become intellig...
