Individual Investing is a very personal journey where we need to match our strengths and strategies to our goals, while ignoring all the noise but also constantly learning and improving our process.

W/O understanding the other person's situation, interests, competency etc we shouldn't quickly offer unsolicited advice that they should be doing this or that with their portfolio.

Like "Why don't you just own ARK funds instead of holding so many SaaS stocks"? Maybe that's because I like searching for and studying solid companies from different sectors in my own free time, and buy each one after personally understanding them...

...and buy them at my own timeframe slowly over the years. As long as the med-long term Portfolio results are better than the indexes and comparable ETFs, that's a worth-wile endeavor.

A THREAD 🧵

Please Like & RT this if you find value 🙏

The 52-week index filter on @screener_in is one of the most effective ways to filter out stocks for #equity segment.

Here's how it can help you 👇

1/ The 52-week index is simply a stock in its 52-week band.
The formula is:
(𝘊𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘦 - 𝘓𝘰𝘸 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘦) * 100 / (𝘏𝘪𝘨𝘩 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘦 - 𝘓𝘰𝘸 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘦)
𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗶𝗻 %

2/ Now you may ask what is the 𝟱𝟮-𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗱?
Lets understand this with an example -
Take this example of #Birlasoft.
Current Price= ₹531
52-Week High= ₹538
52-Low= ₹216

So, its 𝟱𝟮-𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗱 comes at -
= (531-216)/(538-216)*100
= 97.5%

3/ What does this mean?

Basically, we want to look at stocks that are in the top half of their 52-week band (the highlighted area in the diagram) or within 75% of its 𝟱𝟮-𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗱.

4/ The main reason we want to select these stocks are because we want stocks wherein the demand is more than its supply.

A stock within its 52-week band means that buyers are still activated here. This simply shortens our filtering process.
