As promised I am now posting details on #RIL #JIO stack. I shall discuss some advantage that #JIO stack has over peers. Pl do not take this as reco to buy stock. This is purely for information purpose

 Unfortunately, majority of market participants only see the deal value #RIL has managed to clock & there is entire segment of investors who hate #RIL stock.
Those who understand the technical/business depth of #RIL #JIO #RelianceRetail know the scale and future ahead
Talking first about #JIO stack from telecom PoV, it has tons of advantages over likes of Airtel/Idea-Vodafone that #JIO is pure 4G VoLTE network.
Airtel/Idea-Vodafone are forced to maintain 2G/3G network as more than 50% of their customer base is on old network that is cost intensive & burns into profits
Because #JIO is pure 4G VoLTE, they do not have to maintain separate networks, no need to maintain switching function for calls, reducing costs, giving pricing power
Telecom companies are bundling host of services for a reason - to make up for the lost money on maintaining old network/infra.
These bundle of services are typically music streaming, payments/wallets, OTT content etc. What is lost on one side is attempted to be made back via such services
So the application ecosystem is even more important & is a key to understand #JIO stack well. #JIO is an ecosystem, not just telecom play
JioTV, JioCenima, Saavn, Jio Fiber, Jio Holoboard, and soon to be launched gaming set top box are part of this ecosystem along with JioMoney, JioMart, JioCloud, JioCalls, JioSecurity are other apps in the same ecosystem
So while Airtel/Idea-Vodafone trying hard to push content & apps, #RIL has real businesses behind the apps to support. So the business levers are extremely strong compared to anyone else in the domain
Let us focus back on #JIO stack. The entire #JIO ecosystem is much deeper than most know.
#JIO Stack is made up of hardware layer where Jio Smartphone exist, then comes the #JIO network layer, again #RIL owns this too, then comes identification layer, Payments, Account Aggregations and finally comes application layer
Application layer is where most of the #SuperApps are competing at. Payments apps or even apps like PhonePe, PayTM etc are only competing at application layer, while #RIL is present at all layers except identification
That is the biggest advantage of #RIL & #JIO ecosystem. Even TATA is trying to build #SuperApp, SBI YONO is another attempt, but they just don't have any presence on other layers of the tech stack
Aggregation Layer is even more important because it controls the data transmission on a cross app ecosystem

#RIL has account aggregator license since early 2020 and is authorized by RBI already. Seeing the advantages?
#JIO stack controls entry point into Digital Ecosystem for nearly 100 million Jio Phone users. And WhatsApp can provide another 400 million customers an entry point into #JIO ecosystem
Who else control such huge use base + owns entire ecosystem + controls 90% of the tech stack + has pricing power? Nobody!
Embedded Insurance + Embedded Finance is next scale of opportunity for #RIL #JIO via same ecosystem.

Airtel already provides 2L worth term cover on a recharge of 179. That is embedded insurance.
WeChat launched WeSure and TenCent go access to 50 million+ more users. Amazon/Flipkart have bundled insurance very innovatively into their checkout process.
Insuring package is soon becoming norm in E-Commerce domain. Logistic companies work with insurance companies & e-commerce players to provide such bundled services
If #RIL bring insurance into their ecosystem it will be a very big as the customer base is already large enough.
Because apps such as PayTM, PhonePe etc. do not have account aggregator license, they cannot push the insurance products at easy across their stack. They can sell only at application level
Insurance on #JIO can be offered on multiple levels - On recharge/SIM purchases, on wallet transactions, on e-commerce purchasing, and it can be pushed easily via WhatsApp.
WhatsApp can be used single source to push products at easy to large number of customers across different business segments

This is where Facebook comes in as a platform advisor & can help complete the circle of this entire value chain.
With #RIL PoS adoption, micro-finance can reach wider reach! Small ticket insurance can be offered via PoS systems in brick & mortar stores
#RIL acquisition of NetMeds pushes this whole game on a very different level. Opens up entire healthcare domain via NetMed

#RIL also owns NowFloats that boasts of connecting 54mn businesses with over 526mn users in India. Understand the reach?
The potential of #RIL #JIO platform is humongous. If there is someone who really has a chance to be India's TenCent, it is #RIL

However, with such larger than life expectation come many execution risks. Failure of JioChat is one example. WhatsApp pay hasn't pickup steam either.
Is #RIL trying to do too much too soon? The question is at only execution level and not on capability level

I strongly believe FB, Google are in for a reason. They will help build the ecosystem & help it reach wider audience eventually. Until then it is wait & watch game
Many have doubted #RIL's capabilities where doubt should not be on capability, but speed of offerings & reach

Another risk seem to be of succession plan of #RIL as Mukesh Ambani is not in his 40s anymore!
#JIO will mostly list in 2021 on NASDAQ and #RelianceRetail will go for similar listing in India eventually
No matter whoever else tries to build a SuperApp, it is not so easy to become one. It needs whole ecosystem of applications that are backed by real businesses. In my view, if someone has any realistic chance to be one then it is only #RIL

One segment I have been absolutely upbeat is IT/Tech. Tech has always been the hidden moat for many companies - AP/BFL to name a few. Tech is no longer a vertical in market. It has become horizontal that cuts across every single vertical.

Be it Pharma/API, Finance, Insurance, Manufacturing, Retail, CD, or any other segment, Tech is going to give you edge over peers.

The spend on IT/Tech is going to increase stupendously in coming 4/5 years to levels we haven't even imagined. The investment in tech is going to help big get even bigger and put very hard survival barriers to new entrants.

BFL/HDFC Life from Fin/Insurance segment have one of the best tech platforms. IndiaMart relies on customer data monetization, Dmart has a very small but extremely strong team of data scientists

Even Nestle has very strong data scientist pool, Asian Paints story is well knows to everyone now. Not investing in IT/Tech is going to be your biggest mistake in investing journey.

After getting good feedback on yesterday's thread on #routemobile I think it is logical to do a bit in-depth technical study. Place #twilio at center, keep #routemobile & #tanla at the periphery & see who is each placed.


This thread is inspired by one of the articles I read on the-ken about #postman API & how they are transforming & expediting software product delivery & consumption, leading to enhanced developer productivity.

We all know that #Twilio offers host of APIs that can be readily used for faster integration by anyone who wants to have communication capabilities. Before we move ahead, let's get a few things cleared out.

Can anyone build the programming capability to process payments or communication capabilities? Yes, but will they, the answer is NO. Companies prefer to consume APIs offered by likes of #Stripe #twilio #Shopify #razorpay etc.

This offers two benefits - faster time to market, of course that means no need to re-invent the wheel + not worrying of compliance around payment process or communication regulations. This makes entire ecosystem extremely agile

Beautiful setup #routemobile. If you discount the Feb month sudden rally, price has returned to its mean channel & is moving within. It has finally formed a breakout pattern. 1800+840 is very realistic target here. Fasten your seatbelts.

and we are in the range now! 15282 is the low of the range. I start buying between 15666-15282. Big Q is, will we stop in the range & reverse? Honestly, I don't know. All I know is range is here, deserves some allocation in core conviction ideas. #niftymasterchart https://t.co/RXuJb0dTWi

A thread.

Earnings Trades Simplified.

Earnings announcements are public announcements that display a company’s earnings, or lack thereof. As the earnings announcement gets closer, implied volatility tends to increase. After earnings are announced,...

1/n

the uncertainty of what will happen diminishes, and usually we see a rapid decrease in implied volatility because of it. Because of this phenomena, we tend to stick to premium selling strategies when it comes to earnings plays. We can take advantage...

2/n

of the implied volatility crush by selling premium prior to the announcement, and buying it back after the announcement.

Earnings trades are not for everyone, as they involve high amounts of uncertainty and random movements.

3/n


Why Trade Earnings -

-Increase number of occurrences, many trades available so increases of our probability of profit.

-High IV opportunities

-Short term Binary event leading to drastic volatility crush.

4/n

Factors to consider when placing earnings trade -

1. Expected Move
2. When to place trade
3. Historical Moves
4. Strategies based on market conditions

(Thread) Why do I own individual stocks?

Thesis:

1. The digitalization of our world is 10% complete.
2. This megatrend will continue for at least another decade.
3. If you enjoy spending your free time on individual stocks, then the potential for outsized returns is possible.

What is my approach?

There are two parts to my portfolio.

- 40% in Vanguard All-World ETF. This is on autopilot w/ regular contributions.
- 60% in what I consider to be high growth stocks

I keep a balance by adding cash. No shuffling around unless it gets too out of whack.

The latter is the interesting part.

I invest in companies that can

1. successfully disrupt an industry with new business models $TTD $SQ $PTON $TDOC

2. further enable the digital transformation with their services and infrastructure $ZS $HUBS $TWLO $CRWD

I intend to hold my shares indefinitely and allow my investments to compound over time.

I don’t believe that it is possible to time the market. Markets go up and down. I hold on knowing that quality businesses tend to bounce back.

The list of reasons to sell is always long.

If you have full conviction in your holdings, then no single piece of “infotainment” should make you change your mind.

Ignore it + people who make predictions about the economy.

"A trend once established, is more likely to continue than it is to reverse"

A thread on Trend (Market structure)-


A trend is a path of least resistance, basically the side where the smart money is betting upon.

And our work is to be on their side, to make some money.

Why do we use trend?

In an uptrend, the sum of the rallies will always be greater than the sum of the declines.

In a downtrend, the sum of the declines will always be greater than the sum of the rallies.

How to Find the trend?

There are 3 methods which one can use-

1. Swing points method.
2. Moving averages.
3. Trend lines, channels.

1. Trend identification by using swing points-

• UPTREND in simple words - Higher highs, higher lows

• DOWNTREND in simple words - lower lows, lower highs.


• Flat trend - The price stays in a range

Life is a continuous journey of going through peaks and troughs of Happiness and struggle.

We can only see the Happy part of other lives, but ignore what they might have gone through to achieve that.


But let me tell you, even if someone is at ease right now, doesn't mean that he will continue to be at ease for their whole life.

The struggle will come again and we will have to go through it ,whatever we do, whoever we are , we have to cross that river of pain.

Even,In trading there are times when nothing works out, you go through long time and money draw-downs.

Even if you think you are a master, you have to go through it.

If you are struggling right now, don't lose hope as the tables will turn.

But remember to work as hard as you can and do as much good work as you can in your ease or Joyful time of life, because the tables will turn again.

Thank you for reading.

Overthinking - The art of creating problems which weren't even there.

Thread on How Over-analysis leads to decision Paralysis-


What is Analysis paralysis?

In simple terms, analysis paralysis is a person's tendency to over-analyze or over-think upon a decision to such an extent that he/she fails to make a choice resulting in a paralyzed state of inaction.


How a retail trader trades-

A trader named Rahul, He know all the basics of markets, He also has made a system which gives signals on nifty, he has also encorporated good Risk management and Position sizing into his system.

One day he gets a signal to buy Nifty at 13500 with stop at 13450, he wanted to take the trade, but he wanted to get sure that the trade he has take should be a winner.

So he says just let me check the RSI if its above this level I will buy , he checks it and it was above his

level, then again he wants to check another indicator named MACD, he wanted to get sure man, Now he do the most intelligent thing to get sure he gets right.

He goes to twitter and ask his twitter Friend Trader knight he ask him that should I buy nifty at 13500,

In 1937, a trucker got frustrated waiting for his cargo to be unloaded. He later sold his company for $1.1 billion.

Here’s the story of how Malcom McLean made a billion dollars and which startup could be following in his footsteps. (Inspired by our episode with @laurabehrenswu)


In the early 1950s, the shipping industry was a dying business.

New York’s docks were handling half as much domestic cargo in the early 1950s as they had been in the depressed 1930s.

In thirty years, no one had invested significant money in coastal shipping.

Why?

As McLean found out, loading ships was difficult and slow.

A truck or train would deliver items to the port. Each item was unloaded separately, recorded, and carried to storage.

When a ship was ready, each item was taken from storage, counted again, and hauled on-board.


The cost of this labor was significant. As one expert at the time explained:

“A four-thousand-mile voyage for a shipment might consume 50 percent of its costs in covering just the two ten-mile movements through two ports.”


Yet, despite the industry’s issues, it felt little pressure to change.

Foreigners were barred from operating domestically. Cartels ran international routes. And gov. subsidies eased the pain of labor costs.

Reshaping the industry needed an outsider.

Enter Malcolm McLean.

I just finished Eric Adler's The Battle of the Classics, and wanted to say something about Joel Christiansen's review linked below. I am not sure what motivates the review (I speculate a bit below), but it gives a very misleading impression of the book. 1/x


The meat of the criticism is that the history Adler gives is insufficiently critical. Adler describes a few figures who had a great influence on how the modern US university was formed. It's certainly critical: it focuses on the social Darwinism of these figures. 2/x

Other insinuations and suggestions in the review seem wildly off the mark, distorted, or inappropriate-- for example, that the book is clickbaity (it is scholarly) or conservative (hardly) or connected to the events at the Capitol (give me a break). 3/x

The core question: in what sense is classics inherently racist? Classics is old. On Adler's account, it begins in ancient Rome and is revived in the Renaissance. Slavery (Christiansen's primary concern) is also very old. Let's say classics is an education for slaveowners. 4/x

It's worth remembering that literacy itself is elite throughout most of this history. Literacy is, then, also the education of slaveowners. We can honor oral and musical traditions without denying that literacy is, generally, good. 5/x

UNTOLD STORY OF QUEEN BHAVASHANKARI OF BENGAL - A 🧵u must read

Know the role of Naga Sadhus

PART-1

One of the most underrated empires to ever grace India is the kingdom of Bhurshut from central Bengal.

1/


A medieval powerhouse this kingdom stood firm against the Pathan invasion from Orissa twice, and with each time devastating the enemy forces.

Along with this, we also have to note that this was the time when the empire was under the reign of a widowed queen named Bhavashankari.

She wasn’t even born in a royal family and yet she achieved what most of the kings couldn’t do

This begs the question, why does no one remember this great kingdom?

3/

Bhurshut empire thrived from 15th century till late 18th century as an independent kingdom while acting as tributary state with full autonomy.

4/

What’s even more puzzling is that no one knows about the great queen Bhavanshakari who thrashed the Pathans single handedly without the aid of their allies.
