Mr. Vijay Kedia built a net worth of over Rs. 800 crores.

But you probably never read past that headline.

So I binged hours of interviews to learn his investing principles and strategies.

Here are 20 lessons on investing from @VijayKedia1 Sir:

Collaborated with @AdityaTodmal

 Before I start, a quick disclaimer, please don't ape his portfolio.

As the entry price, horizon and risk appetite would be far different than yours.

Rather lets draw inspiration and try to learn his stock picking skills.

Now let's DIVE IN👇
1/ Started off as a trader:

- Soon, beginner’s luck started to fade out and loses started to mount, to an extent where his mother was about to sell her ornaments.

- Although he was able to dodge the situation.

- This incident taught him the biggest lesson to have a stop-loss.
2/ Punjab Tractors:

- In 1990, he made his first investment by putting in his 10-years savings of Rs 35,000 in this stock, based on a news trigger that tractor industry will witness a turnaround.

- It worked and fetched him 4-5 times which he calls it as a fluke.
3/ He believes that an investor must possess three qualities:

i. Knowledge,
ii. Courage, and
iii. Patience.
4/ Patience is a virtue:

- He picked 5% stake in Aegis Logistics at Rs.20.
- The stock didn't move the next year.
- Finding a gem isn’t enough, finding the courage to stick through without fear & disappointment is.
- Eventually, the stock rallied to Rs. 300.
5/ Stock investing should be simple:

- One cannot get a small company that is cheap and has prime return ratios too.

- Focus on the core qualities of the business model.

- Look at the underlying story of the stock and the industry.

- Management should be transparent.
6/ Framework for picking stocks: SMILE principle:

He chooses a small cap & mid cap companies which has the following ingredients:

• S: Small in size
• Mi: Management with medium experience
• L : Large in aspirations
• E: Extra large market potential
7/ S: Small in Size

-Small in size refers to the company’s market share to the total market size of the industry.

-Don't be under the wrong notion that small in size means with reference to market capitalization.
8/ Mi – Management with medium experience

- Management must be aggressive, transparent, and dedicated.
- He looks for management who would have gone through about 2-3 up & down cycles.
- Management should be motivated to grow the company and add value for all stakeholders.
9/ L – Large in aspirations

- For a company to grow from small to medium size, the management should have large aspirations.

- If management aims to become a billionaire only then the shareholder will become a millionaire.
10/ E: Extra large market potential

- For a company to grow from small size to medium or from medium to large, the market and the underlying asset should have that potential.
11/ Stay in a Sunrise industry at any cost, stay out of a Sunset industry at any cost:
12/ Prefer no debt / low debt companies:
13/ When does aspirations of a company take a hit: Part 1

Acronym CHANGE:

• C: Chamchas
• Ha: Health
14/ When does aspirations of a company take a hit: Part 2
Acronym CHANGE:

• NG: Next Generation
• E: Ego
15/ Don't get carried away with the market mood:

Neither be an optimistic during an uptrend nor be a pessimistic in a downtrend.

His investment mantra is to – ‘Buy like a bull, sit like a bear and watch like an eagle.
16/ Sizing makes you earn serious wealth.

- Finding the right companies is not enough if you don't own a substantial piece of it.

- He doesn't fear the quantity because his aspiration in future is to allocate is even bigger than what it is today.
17/ Snippet of his holdings:

18/ Market is a sea of opportunities

- Presents various types of risk rewards.

- Know your type and act accordingly.
19/ People who are living far below their means enjoy a freedom that people busy upgrading their lifestyles just can’t fathom. - NAVAL

- Don't fall in the trap of upgrading your lifestyle.

- Cut down your expenses on depreciating assets.
20/ Investing is a blessed business:

-One should be prepared to get immersed into this business of investing to reap the fruits out of it.

The most valuable aspect in trading you aren't using:

POSITION SIZING

Sizing is the key, you'll make big money only if you own a significant size without compromising on risk.

Here are 10 of them, and they are for free: 🧵

Collaborated with @AdityaTodmal

1/ For a faster growth, one needs to have a bigger size:

• What difference would it make if a stock moves by 300%?

• But then, what if you had only 1% capital allocation?

• Despite the stock performing spectacularly, your account won't reflect the same, due to small sizing.

2/ Three types of position sizing:

1. Fixed absolute Rupee amount that one is willing to risk.
2. % risk of the total capital.
3. Basis the edge.

Risk tolerance should be taken into consideration while determining appropriate position sizing.

3/ Fixed absolute Rupee Amount:

• Eg: Total capital is Rs. 10 lacs and the max risk per trade is Rs. 7500

• Lets say a stock is trading at 1200 and your SL is 1120 (i.e. your risk per unit us Rs. 1200-1120 =Rs. 80)

• Optimum qty: 7500/80 = 94 units

4/ Percentage risk of total capital:

• Lets say you want to risk 1% of the total capital on each trade.

• Considering the total capital of Rs. 10 lacs, you shall risk Rs. 10,000 i.e. 1% of 10lacs on each trade.

• Quantity to be traded/invested calculation remains the same.

1/Closing price different from the last trading price (LTP)

•There is so much noise regarding PE premiums going up or CE premiums losing their value tomorrow morning at the opening ( in case flat).

•Remember that the LTP usually differs from the closing price.

2/ This is because the closing price is the weighted average price of the last 30 mins of trading.

•The difference today is noticeably more as the market made a sharp upmove post 15:00 hours i.e. the last 30 mins.

Since April 2019, I've been a full-time trader.

Have been selling index options on weekly basis for the past two years and consistently making returns.

Option Selling 101 course worth 50k for FREE 🧵

Collaborated with @AdityaTodmal

1. Know where the market won't go:

Our minds are usually wired to be curious about where a stock or an index will move. ,

However, when it comes to option selling, we need to know where the market certainly won't go.

2: Theta/ Time Decay:

Option is a wasting asset, hence theta/time decay is a friend of option sellers.

Option sellers have a natural edge because the value of the option decreases as time goes by.


3. Benefit of premium eating of OTM options:

OTMs usually have a higher probability of going to zero, option sellers try to gobble up these strikes, and adjust their positions or exit with an SL if need be.

4. When to play non - directional:

When an index is trading within a range.

Let's say, BNF is trading within a range of 44000-42500 then one can look to sell CE options of 44k and above and PE strikes of 42500 and below.

Let's Understand why Narrative is important in investing and how to create a Thesis that can help you to hold a stock in spite of the market environments

Time for a thread with international and Indian examples, Please retweet so that everyone can benefit 🧵🧵🧵🧵

The world we see and defined is given meaning by the words we choose to use. In short, the world is what we make of it. Something similar applies to creating a thesis before investing in a stock. Your thesis is what makes you hold a stock thick and through in spite of bull/bear

Example 1: Amazon- In May 1997, Amazon became a publically listed business. The target price set by analysts was $18 per share. It finished its first day at $23 per share. (So much for targets). In 1999, in the middle of the tech bubble. Same stock was trading at $100 per share.

Analysts were giving targets of $300 per share. However, after the collapse of the bubble many internet businesses went bust, but Amazon survived in spite of a 78% drop from 1999 highs. As we all know, Price changes perception. Same analysts started claiming it was massively

overpriced and claimed its days were "numbered". By the end of 2002, it was trading at 90times cash flow (so much for multiples to account for future)

This is my son, Sam. He’s 5. And today he learned how shitty and harmful #ToxicMasculinity is. My rage meter is spiking right now so excuse me if this is a little raw but there are some things I want to say about BS #gender norms (a thread)


Sam is my middle child & he’s a terror. A “boy’s boy” as so many (not me) would say. He’s rough and tumble, he’s loud, he’s always dirty, loves trucks, plays sports and knee drops me from the couch. But he also loves a lot of “girl” things.

Sam has a collection of purses because he likes to carry things around. And he also loves to have his nails painted bright colors because he thinks they “look beautiful.” And he’s right – they are beautiful…


So he proudly wore his red nail polish to kindergarten this morning because Sam has absolutely no concept of nail polish only being for girls or reason to think anyone would possibly have a problem with beautiful nails.


But his classmates did have a problem. A big one. Sam was ridiculed for being a boy with nail polish. They called him names and told him to take it off. This lasted the entire day.

Make them irrelevant > Hold a grudge

Holding a grudge is the easy thing to do.

But holding a grudge is not the right thing to do.

A grudge puts poison in your body & rewires your subconscious mind.

You consume the poison & destroy your reality while your attacker sleeps like a baby.

प्राचीन काल में गाधि नामक एक राजा थे।उनकी सत्यवती नाम की एक पुत्री थी।राजा गाधि ने अपनी पुत्री का विवाह महर्षि भृगु के पुत्र से करवा दिया।महर्षि भृगु इस विवाह से बहुत प्रसन्न हुए और उन्होने अपनी पुत्रवधु को आशीर्वाद देकर उसे कोई भी वर मांगने को कहा।


सत्यवती ने महर्षि भृगु से अपने तथा अपनी माता के लिए पुत्र का वरदान मांगा।ये जानकर महर्षि भृगु ने यज्ञ किया और तत्पश्चात सत्यवती और उसकी माता को अलग-अलग प्रकार के दो चरू (यज्ञ के लिए पकाया हुआ अन्न) दिए और कहा कि ऋतु स्नान के बाद तुम्हारी माता पुत्र की इच्छा लेकर पीपल का आलिंगन...

...करें और तुम भी पुत्र की इच्छा लेकर गूलर वृक्ष का आलिंगन करना। आलिंगन करने के बाद चरू का सेवन करना, इससे तुम दोनो को पुत्र प्राप्ति होगी।परंतु मां बेटी के चरू आपस में बदल जाते हैं और ये महर्षि भृगु अपनी दिव्य दृष्टि से देख लेते हैं।

भृगु ऋषि सत्यवती से कहते हैं,"पुत्री तुम्हारा और तुम्हारी माता ने एक दुसरे के चरू खा लिए हैं।इस कारण तुम्हारा पुत्र ब्राह्मण होते हुए भी क्षत्रिय सा आचरण करेगा और तुम्हारी माता का पुत्र क्षत्रिय होकर भी ब्राह्मण सा आचरण करेगा।"
इस पर सत्यवती ने भृगु ऋषि से बड़ी विनती की।


सत्यवती ने कहा,"मुझे आशीर्वाद दें कि मेरा पुत्र ब्राह्मण सा ही आचरण करे।"तब महर्षि ने उसे ये आशीर्वाद दे दिया कि उसका पुत्र ब्राह्मण सा ही आचरण करेगा किन्तु उसका पौत्र क्षत्रियों सा व्यवहार करेगा। सत्यवती का एक पुत्र हुआ जिसका नाम जम्दाग्नि था जो सप्त ऋषियों में से एक हैं।
