Saved by @patil_rushikesh

A Thread of our threads on the Business Analysis of specific companies 🧵👇

RT if this adds value to your investing journey.

 1/ Chemcon: A specialty chemical company that is a globally dominant player in its molecules, most of which go into the Pharmaceutical industry & have a high criticality attached to them.
https://t.co/Y44jZNmQsX
2/ Aegis Logistics: An oil & gas logistics company, with a stronghold on the LPG supply chain & riding the tailwinds of increased exports owning to weak domestic production. Their fight to grow much larger is on, short-term demand problems stay.
https://t.co/dD1xb2DdmB
3/ Varroc Engineering: An auto ancillary company that has propelled down under its own enterprising projects fueled by a ton of debt. Will the fortunes ever illuminate for this significant participant of the global automobile industry?
https://t.co/268m6F8csX
4/ Jubilant Ingrevia: A specialty chemical company that has redefined backward integration as it begins from the basic chemicals to achieving complex vitamins & many more. Their fight to outgrow commoditized parts of the business goes on.
https://t.co/Wcyhd1s3cQ
5/ GMR Airports: An infrastructure player turned airports operator changing the economics from one end (commoditized, weak cash flow, cyclical, capital intensive) of the business quality spectrum to the other end (Monopoly, Cash cow, Secular, asset-light)
https://t.co/OnWWuyFXoX
6/ Indiabulls RE: A real estate developer with a ton of land & half-baked properties. Can the change in promoters (Embassy) bring positive optionalities to this business or many more skeletons out in the open? Variant perceptions are being discussed.
https://t.co/1RYrNyI8hl
7/ Likhitha Infra: An oil & gas infrastructure player which brings nothing unique to the table other than delivering on time, strong financial muscles & powerful tailwinds which reflect on the giant order book.
https://t.co/UJwcUboaGh
8/ EPL: A packaging company that has a certain level of global dominance with strong economics. Will the Blackstone appointed management, bring in the evolution (gain in market share+ foray into newer segments) that the market is not currently pricing in?
https://t.co/k4TfYFJJIR
9/ Excel Industries: A specialty chemical company where potential risks (one of the molecules being banned) & high cyclicality makes it trade at throwaway valuations. Not much else to say as information is scarce. https://t.co/pTUAkdAG11
10/ Petronet LNG: An oil & gas logistics company, with a stronghold on the LNG supply chain & riding the tailwinds of increased exports owning to weak domestic production. Their fight is with themselves as the leadership seems to be all over the place.
https://t.co/hEkmSBIiLN
11/ Natco: A Pharmaceutical company with a DNA of taking oversized decadal bets showcasing capacity to suffer, with a seasoned R&D team & a spirited leader at the top.
https://t.co/ZXNWORKIEJ
12/ IRFC: A financier specifically dedicated to the Indian Railways & adjacencies by law, growing at a pace even envied by the best banks in India with zero NPAs. 'Where is the ROE going?' & 'What if the government loses its mind?' are the key questions.

A product which provides a fixed income which is better than FD & an upside like equity.

Should you invest in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)?
A Thread 🧵👇


1/ REITs are a vehicle to invest in income-producing real estate properties managed by professionals.


2/ In India, we have REITs primarily focused on commercial real estate properties having 7-9% rental yields.

In listed REITs, Most of the completed properties are pre-leased to big companies.

Why no residential? As yields of 1-3% make them unattractive to investors.

3/ How do you get the benefit of such yield?

REITs have to distribute at least 90% of their taxable income to their shareholders.

Both listed REITs trade at 6-7% dividend yield (which is also tax-free)

4/ Moreover, 80% of their total value must come from completed & income-generating properties + it must avoid speculative land acquisitions.

What about debt then? There's a restriction there too.
Not more than 49% of the total equity.

MDZS is laden with buddhist references. As a South Asian person, and history buff, it is so interesting to see how Buddhism, which originated from India, migrated, flourished & changed in the context of China. Here's some research (🙏🏼 @starkjeon for CN insight + citations)

1. LWJ’s sword Bichen ‘is likely an abbreviation for the term 躲避红尘 (duǒ bì hóng chén), which can be translated as such: 躲避: shunning or hiding away from 红尘 (worldly affairs; which is a buddhist teaching.) (https://t.co/zF65W3roJe) (abbrev. TWX)

2. Sandu (三 毒), Jiang Cheng’s sword, refers to the three poisons (triviṣa) in Buddhism; desire (kāma-taṇhā), delusion (bhava-taṇhā) and hatred (vibhava-taṇhā).

These 3 poisons represent the roots of craving (tanha) and are the cause of Dukkha (suffering, pain) and thus result in rebirth.

Interesting that MXTX used this name for one of the characters who suffers, arguably, the worst of these three emotions.

3. The Qian kun purse “乾坤袋 (qián kūn dài) – can be called “Heaven and Earth” Pouch. In Buddhism, Maitreya (मैत्रेय) owns this to store items. It was believed that there was a mythical space inside the bag that could absorb the world.” (TWX)

18 Things I Would Do At 18:

I was a dumb 18-year-old. I thought I had the world figured out. I didn't.

I stayed up till the wee hours. Drank every liquor invented.

Partied non-stop. Woke up after noon.

Surfed the web aimlessly.

Read BS self-help.

Repeat.

If I could do it all over again, here's 18 things I would do...

PHASE ONE: GET MY MIND RIGHT

ACTION #1: Break the chains - I wish I made the decision earlier. I didn't. I was scared. Anxious. Nervous. I knew once I made the decision, there was no going back.

Don't be like me.

Make the decision at 18. The decision to pave your own path in life. To go against the herd. To choose your own adventure. To commit to whatever sets your heart on fire.

ACTION #2: Cut off every negative person in your life.

Scroll through the contacts in your phone...

Notice how the names make you feel.

Delete any and all names that fill you with doubt and negativity.

ACTION #3: Condition your mind to embrace the producer mindset instead of the consumer mindset.

Consume 20% of the time. Produce 80% of the time.

Case closed.

ACTION #4: Set an intention to make $10k a month and write it out every MORNING and NIGHT as if you already achieved it (in the past tense).

Visualize yourself already having the money as you write.

Cheesy?

Yes.

Does it work?

Yes.

PHASE TWO: EDUCATION

SRI KANTESH HANUMANTHA, KADARAMANDALAGI (KAR)
#bharatmandir

KANTESHA means Prabhu full of brightness.
Here, Sri Hanuman appears with a front face and sparkling eyes. Earlier, the village was also called KANTESHPURI on the name of Kantesha Hanuman.


Several thousands of years ago, Hanuman lived in this village. He once saw the Sun and mistaking it to be a fruit, began flying towards it. Since then, this village came to be known as Kadara Man Dalagi. (Kadar means rays, mandala is cluster of rays).


It is believed that King Janmejaya had set up the shrine to get rid of his difficulties.
There is a small pond on the right side of the kshetram where Teppotsava (Float festival) is celebrated.

Kanaka Dasa has praised Sri Kantesha in his various poetic compositions.


Kanaka Dasa was the first devotee to popularize the power of Kantesha. It is said that once Kanaka Dasa was deeply wounded in a battle. To seek blessings, he visited Tirupati but Sri Venkatesha appeared in his dream and advised him to see Kantesha first before seeing him.

A brief thread on Jovan Hutton Pulitzer, the crazy con man who is now claiming to have hacked into the Georgia voting machines in Fulton County. 90s kids and tech aficionados might remember Jovan as the inventor of the CueCat, the dumbest gadget of all time.

Also, for anyone who wants to claim that Jovan Hutton Pulitzer (not his given name, but one he changed legally after the CueCat debacle) invented QR Codes: he did not. Like that other right-wing crazy man who claimed to have invented email, Jovan didn’t invent QR Codes.

He did invent the CueCat, a product that somehow raised $185 million dollars for a tethered barcode scanner for magazines and newspapers, so you could get ads from your ads. As I said, the dumbest product of all time. Good backup barcode scanners after they were hacked, however

Oh, that’s another thing. When CueCat was a thing, its systems were hacked. I guess that’s what makes Jovan a security expert. His bankrupt company from 20 years ago was hacked and widely mocked. He’s a genius.

In recent years, Jovan pivoted to being a treasure hunter who was featured on and widely mocked on Curse of Oak Island, because the man is insane.

WHEN GH0RI TOOK TO HIS HEELS WHILST FIGHTING A HINDU QUEEN

THE BATTLE OF KASAHRADA (Kayadara)
1178 AD

Strategy! Bravado! Glory!

(Thread)


The narrative set by left historians about one of their favorite poster boys "Gh0ri" is that he went unchallenged upon entering the Indian subcontinent with one king falling after another.(1)

They conveniently deleted this event. Why? An agenda aimed at making us feel weak and inferior against the invaders in an attempt to glorify them. Simple strategy: To destroy a civilization tamper their history.(2)

Gh0ri defeated Prithviraj Chauhan at the 2nd Battle of Tarain in 1192 and laid the foundation of Delhi Sultanate. What is not well known is the fact that 14 years before he won this battle, he was defeated by the queen of Gujarat "Naiki Devi"!(3)

In 1173 Md Gh0ri had conquered the Ghaznavids in Afghanistan. A ruthless, persistent and deceptive Gh0ri was successful in conducting massive raids deep inside Indian territory.(4)
