Saw a few posts where #LaurusLabs is being floated as 100x candidate from here.

That would mean it would need a market cap of 35 lakh crore+ ($466 Billion) to achieve that goal.

Not going to happen.

Most optimistic goal is a 3 lakh cr market cap ($40 Billion) in next 10 yrs.

Don't fall for accounts selling you false hope
Apply some common sense

Folks who bought Laurus at its lowest of Rs 52 per share may (Big May) see a 100 bagger, entering now will not

Laurus is my largest position, so this is not a criticism, just setting realistic expectations

It's the weekend!

Grab a cup of coffee, in this thread I will explain

1. What is a Dividend Discount Model?
2. What are its main components?
3. How to use it to value a business?

Lets dive right in.

Before I explain what a Dividend Discount Mode is, lets understand what is the main crux of valuations?

The entire reason behind valuing something is to determine, how much return your investment will generate within a specified period of time.

Return here stands for the cash flow generated by the asset.

Every asset by its nature, will generate returns.

For Fixed Deposits = Returns are Interest Payments

For Real Estate = Returns are Rent Payments

For Debt Securities = Returns are coupon payments

For Stocks = Returns are Dividends + Any Appreciation in Stock Price

To perform the exercise of valuation means to determine what these returns are worth today.

Why?

Cause Rs 100 today is worth more than Rs 100, 10 years later.

" Zen and the Art of Happiness "

It's a simple book but it makes you think .

Few of my takeaways ( with random 2 min doodles).
👇
Firstly,
What is Zen ?

#Zen is a Japanese word that is derived from the Sanskrit word Dhyana meaning "Meditation" .

2/21
Zen is a journey of exploration & a way of living that , in and of itself doesn't belong to any one religion or tradition as such.

Zen doesn't teach. It merely
points, enabling us to wake up & become aware.

Ever noticed how zen stories rarely have predefined morals? 🤓

3/21

The zen of doing anything is doing it with a concentration of mind , a calmness & simplicity of mind, that brings the experience of enlightenment and, through that experience , happiness.

It could be something as mundane as sweeping or peeling potatoes !

We are the authors of every NEXT moment.

Therefore the best way for us to get that new experience is to CHANGE our response to what happens.

By natural cause & effect , that NEW RESPONSE will create NEW RESULTS , thereby a NEW REALITY.

Try it to believe it !
#Wisdom

5/21

Unknown to most of us , we all have a life philosophy . A perspective of looking at things , at events & circumstances that befall us.

Our personal #Philosophy determines how we respond to events that occur in our life .
This ultimately is responsible for our happiness.

When Christmas reading is like a bus-person’s holiday... one book whose general subject area motivated me to do a PhD on the impact of organisational structures on ⚽️ talent development and the other which features some of the resulting research ☺️🎅🏻📚 @marktigheST

17 Lessons From the Book
"Super Coach"

📚#DDBook Thread🧵

1. We think we are experiencing reality but what we are really experiencing is our thinking.

2. The most important choice you make is what you choose to make important.

3. If we really want something, there is always a way.

4. What we decide is less important then how we respond to life.

5. Our intuition already knows what we want to do but we create reasons to keep us locked out.

6. Every emotion we feel is a response to a thought, not an event.

7. Your day doesn’t create your mood, your mood creates your day.

8. When you feel a sense of urgency, it’s usually a better idea to slow down.

9. No Matter what seems to be going on, you don’t have to do anything. Being overwhelmed is just a thought.

10. Everything we do or don’t do is simply a choice. To do more, use a system of clarity, structure and boldness of action.

15 quotes to hit your ego from the book EGO IS THE ENEMY:

1. Wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, your worst enemy already lives inside you; your ego.

2. The ego we see most commonly goes by a more casual definition: an unhealthy belief in our own importance. Arrogance. Self-centered ambition.

3. Ego is when the notion of ourselves and the world grows so inflated that it begins to distort the reality that surrounds us.

4. We will learn that though we think big, we must act and live small in order to accomplish what we seek.

The Courage To Be Disliked is an extremely logic oriented look at happiness and life.

Snippets of it may sound patronising at times but it leaves you with more questions than answers - It forces you to think!🙂

Some takeaways via a 🧵..

The world in itself is simple. Life in itself is simple.

It is WE who make it complicated.

How ?
By Comparison.

We all live in a subjective world that we OURSELVES have given meaning to from OUR perspective.

So how can then they be the same for all ? 🙂

3/28
Ever observed how the world seems beautiful at times , sometimes mean & selfish , at times helpful ?

So does the world actually keep changing or does our subjective world change due to the change in our projections ? 🤔

Something worth reflecting upon !
👇

4/28

Not everyone who has faced trauma / calamity as a child grows up to become a bad person.

We determine our own lives as per the meaning we give those past experiences.

WE decide HOW we live - In constant conflict or at peace.

How have you decided to live your life? 🤔

5/28
What differentiates us humans from machines is primarily the fact that we possess Emotions.

Each emotion is merely a tool .
It can be used effectively or in a detrimental way.

But then again , what is effective and what is detrimental is all subjective ,ain't it ? 🙂
