Debts, Loans and Mallya #3 Multibagger Magic Mantra

-


Debts (loans) are sometimes necessary to run a business, to acquire companies and for manufacturing capacity expansion.

But, very high debts can literally kill a company!


It is better to go to bed hungry, than to wake up in debt!

Think about this, would you invest if Vijay Mallya started a new venture? Lol 😂

Stay away from companies whose debt/equity ratio is more than 1
In fact, I personally wouldn’t invest if debt/equity ratio is more than 0.5
Let's take an example of a company with good debt/equity Ratio: Maruti Suzuki (link)


Now, let's take a bad example: Idea Cellular (link) 



Worst Case Scenario

There are few companies with negative debt/equity ratios, like Suzlon (link).
Stay away from such companies too!
Negative debt/equity ratio means the company's net worth is negative.
Very few bankers extend loans to such a company with a negative net worth unless there are extenuating circumstances, and there are assets that the company can pledge.





To summarize, while picking a multibagger stock, always check the company's debt/equity ratio.
Make sure debt/equity ratio is between 0 - 0.5.
Stay away from companies with debt/equity ratio of more than 1 and less than 0 (negative).

Shareholding Patterns - #2 Multibagger Magic Mantra

-
Image
Shareholding pattern in simple words explains how much of the company's ownership is held by the promoters (Owners of the company) and how much is held by the public shareholders. Imagine a company where promoters (Owners) themselves are selling out their own stocks ! This is a BIG red signal! How can outside people be confident about the stock’s future if the promoters themselves are exiting the stock! On the other hand, if promoters are super-confident of the company’s future revenue and profits growth they themselves will buy more stakes from the open market . They are betting their own money on the company's growth! Imagine how confident they would be about the potential ahead of them! This is a BIG green Signal! A quick check can help you understand the shareholding patterns and make a decision. Here is a good shareholding pattern of a company - Maruti Suzuki ( link ) Here are the shares pledged (that can be sold by promoters any...

Well, everyone wants to make tons of money in stock market, nobody comes to do charity! 😜 While everyone is trying to figure out different ways and techniques to make profits, there are two approaches to which you can broadly classify all of them into. They are - Trading and Investing. There are millions of traders who have made lots of money and who believe trading is better than Investing and of course vice versa. So which one is the right approach? The answer is both! In cricketing terms, it is like asking the coach if straight drive better or off drive better?? Again, the answer is both! you need to know how to play the right shot the way for the right ball! The trick is to understand the underlying mechanics and first practice before you can play for real!! Trading: In trading, typically one either buys and sells the stock within a day or maybe holds it for a few weeks max! Traders generally look at the charts to identify certain patterns, trends and ma...

5 reasons why invest in stocks!

There are several investment options out there, but investing in stocks is perhaps the best option and here are five reasons why. 1. Start Small You can start investing in stocks even with small amount of money, as little as 500 INR ($7.75) per month. On contrast, If you want to invest in real estate you would need huge capital to start with which many of us cannot afford to. Hence, investing in stocks is a great way to get started! 2. Liquidity You can cash-out and exit stock investments anytime . If the circumstance arises such as any emergency you can easily exit all your stock holdings and take the money out with just a few clicks. On contrast, it is very difficult to sell any real estate property etc. 3. High Growth Stock market is the best way to build your wealth. If you look at some of the richest people in the world, they all had more than 90% of their wealth made in stocks . Legends like Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, Mukesh Ambani, Benjamin Graham etc. all of ...
