The intelligent investor written by Benjamin Graham is considered as the holy Bible of Investing. Each and every Investor should read this book first hand before starting their journey. It has 20 sweet chapters and we will discuss one chapter a week. Today it’s all about the preface and Introduction of the book.
Dear investors today I decided to talk about My Investment Philosophy. This is where and how I like to invest. My time horizon is 20 to 50 years from now. So I usually don’t worry about the short term or medium-term volatility. Because investing is not a T20I or ODI it’s a TEST MATCH and it is played 365 days a year. So I like to stay in the crease as long as possible because if you stay long enough in the crease you know how the track is and how the ball is swinging. You may score 0 runs in your first 50 balls, score a 50 in the next 25 balls, you get to hit boundaries once in a while and all this will happen only if you stay in the crease.
So from the last post I hope you have picked your company and the next step is to analyse whether they are fundamentally strong and financially stable. When you analyse a business there are lot of parameters to look for, sometimes it is overwhelming to look at the data that you have collected from their annual reports, rating agencies and other financial sites. So first let’s make that process simple and easy.
Let me explain some of the key financial ratios that compulsorily needs to be looked when analysing a business.
Before I start I want you to read this:
Even if you start with 1 Lakh, a kid who is starting at the age of 20 and goes on till 70 has a better chance to make it to 1Lakh Crore. The reason for starting early is because of the power of compounding is not as much about the rate but more about the longevity of the rate. I mean 25% is a very high rate but 25% in 5 years is 3 times, in 10 years it is 10 times, in 20 years it is 100 times and in 50 years it is 100,000 times.

Firstly I would like to thank all the front line warriors who are fighting the Covid-19. As we all know, we are facing unprecedented crisis in the the name of Covid-19 which brought the whole world and the economy to the grinding halt. Again a big thanks to all the health care workers and the government who are doing everything in their power to protect us from these unprecedented times.
