1. Listen to various competitors
2. Put your neck on the line (invest your hard earned capital - experience comes by paying tuition fee)
3. Read non-investing books as well (Psychology, history, biographies or whatever non-fiction you like)
4. Read this :

All these are Pharma sector companies. Company F consistently reports -ve cash flows. It's stock price never compounded. All other examples reported multi-years of +ve cash flow generation. These stocks have been multi-baggers over the years.

Focus on Cash Flows vs News Flows.

Only one Indian company is making the country pound in the US when it comes to Biologics #Biocon @Bioconlimited 👏👏

Company floated and nurtured by a women despite all the gender biases. How can the gents be beaten by a lady?

On this auspicious day of #GuruPurnima, happy to share an easy to read and an exceptionally worthwhile investment. I plan to make a thread that will hopefully help us invest and live better. Thank you @awealthofcs 🙏🏻

Experience has taught me that less is always more when making investment decisions. Simplicity trumps complexity. Conventional gives you much better odds than exotic. A long-term process is more important than short-term outcomes.

And perspective goes much further than tactics. Tactics are useless to investors in a matter of days—sometimes in a matter of hours. But perspective is something that stays with the investor for a lifetime. It allows you to adapt to the changing market and economic landscape.

While keeping it simple won’t make it any easier to predict the future—no one has a crystal ball—it can give you the necessary capacity to make rational decisions, no matter what happens next.

Perspective is so important because, without it, even the most intelligent of investors can be ruined from a lack of self-awareness in their own abilities. Investors that fail to put the news or market moves into the proper context....[1/2]

Unseen rule 1 :: whatever be the reason, never justify the valuations of a rising stock price

Unseen rule 2 :: whatever be the reason, never defend the quality/reason of a falling stock price

Unseen rule 3 :: never react in an impulsive manner to a rising/falling stock price

If cash flow is not growing / compounding - why do you expect the share price to make newer ATHs ?

Ultimately, the stock price is a function of underlying business and the quality of cash flows

"Quality vs Quantity" of cash matters. Small and Mid Pharma have outperformed Large!

@harindersnanda @ishmohit1 @soicfinance @punitbansal14 @nison_steve Both should do well. Prefer Zoetis for leadership, best in class margins and management's execution. Elanco should improve with Bayer Animal boosting companion proportion in its overall mix.

#SeQuent will under-perform next 1-2 years due to #ESOP (unless a surprise M&A happens)

Private Equity is "smart money". They enter only when there is a potential to unlock value.

CVC Capital (#HCG)
Carlyle Group (#SeQuent)
#Biocon Biologics (True North)
KKR (in talks to buy a controlling stake in #JBChemicals & Pharmaceuticals)

| Smart money is after my holdings!

Healthcare is a big (correction : very big) opportunity with a multi-decadal growth runway looking at the demographics and decades of underinvestment in India.

Keep averaging-up as the business performs.

Not easy.

Capacity to suffer consolidation/underperformance is paramount.
