Many investors assume that using a home loan will always create more wealth because it shows a higher ROI and here leverage is being used. But when I compared a self-funded property purchase with a home-loan strategy, the results told a very different story. One option showed a better return percentage, while the other actually left the investor with more money.
Amazon spent 20 years making losses, and made its investors extraordinarily wealthy because of it, not in spite of it. Out of 850+ new-age tech IPOs listed in India since 2021, I found 10 companies operating on that exact same strategic logic. They are deliberately sacrificing profit today to dominate the market tomorrow.
Most retail investors reject a tech stock the moment they see a high P/E ratio. We assume that it is overpriced. But for high-growth tech companies, a high P/E is often a deliberate choice, not a warning sign. Understanding why changes the way you evaluate these stocks completely, and it starts with questioning one assumption you have always taken for granted.
Indian IT companies like TCS, Infosys, and Wipro have already survived Y2K, the dot-com era, and the SaaS disruption. Each time, people predicted their decline. AI is genuinely more disruptive because it compresses the actual knowledge work these companies bill for, not just where software runs. But history suggests a familiar pattern is unfolding, and the companies that adapt fast will come out larger than before.
Depreciation is not just an accounting entry – it is a promise that a company will recover its invested capital over time. The Rithala case is the story of what happens when that promise gets cut short, leaving Rs. 94.59 crore stranded on a balance sheet. Six numbers explain the whole thing – and once you see them, you will never read a depreciation schedule the same way again.
Warren Buffett’s investing principles — retained earnings, wide moats, and patience — work just as powerfully in India as they do in America. In this post, I have applied these exact principles to identify six Indian companies across large, mid, and small cap segments that are worth holding for the next twenty years. The names and the numbers inside will surprise you.
Warren Buffett has been writing letters to his Berkshire Hathaway shareholders for over sixty years now. Hidden inside those letters is some of the most practical investing wisdom ever written down. These letters teach ordinary investors like us how to think about money, businesses, and patience in a way that no finance textbook ever does. The five learnings I picked from these letters quietly changed how I look at equity investing forever.
After running Nifty 500 stock through five strict fundamental filters of ROCE, EPS growth, debt levels, free cash flow, and relative P/E, only 21 companies made the quality cut. A full DCF analysis with a 15% Margin of Safety (MoS) then narrowed this down further to just 2 stocks currently trading below their intrinsic value, plus 4 high-quality names very close to their buy price. All 6 stocks are named and analysed in detail inside.
A falling stock price does not automatically make a stock undervalued. These are two very different things, and confusing them is the most common and costly mistake investors make. Finding genuinely undervalued stocks requires a structured three-step process: (a) screening thousands of stocks through five specific filters,(b) calculating the intrinsic value of the business, and then (a) buying only at a price that gives you a meaningful margin of safety. This post explains the entire method, step by step.
Most investors look at RIL’s Rs. 10.5 lakh crore revenue and assume the company is untouchable. But when I ran it through a structured Excel-based stress test, the results were genuinely surprising. A mere 5% fall in revenue, combined with a 3% rise in costs, caused RIL’s net profit to collapse by 90% and free cash flow to turn deeply negative. I am going to show you exactly how I did this analysis, step by step, with real numbers. [Downloadable Excel Template is available for subscribers].
I look for multibagger stocks by studying the business first, not the share price. I check three things carefully: profits, balance sheet strength, and whether the stock is available at a fair price. This simple method helps me avoid weak companies and spot long-term winners early.
Not all stocks recover after a market crash — only a specific type of company bounces back strongly, and there is one metric that identifies them before the recovery begins. That metric is Return on Invested Capital (ROIC), and when you learn to read it correctly, it changes the way you pick stocks forever. In this post, I explain exactly how ROIC works, how to use it alongside WACC, and which Indian companies currently sit on my high-ROIC watchlist. Here is a list of 11 high ROIC stocks that I’m tracking.
