Stock allocation Vs. stock picking

 👉

 It's from the Upanishads: 

You are what your deep, driving desire is

As your desire is, so is your will 

As your will is, so is your deed

As your deed is, so is your destiny 

(Brihadaranyaka Upanishad)

 Your life becomes where your desire goes. The most important thing to building a portfolio is not stock picking but giving the right allocation. better put more time thinking about the right allocation than finding new stocks.
       When somebody tells you that I had made five-time money last year in one stock. but the problem is he had put only 1% of the portfolio so the overall portfolio is not gain from this stock. right knowledge is important for your conviction and conviction is important for allocation. people find that fund managers have the right knowledge and conviction from starting point but that is a myth. here, I will tell you about how people build conviction about allocation over some time. what I do is:

      If I got any tailwind stock or sector I will put some skin in the game like 1000 rupees. after that, I start searching about business over their website ( annual report conference call, investor presentations)  and once I have the right knowledge then I will put more allocation to that stock if the valuation is right. that is all about quantitative factors which I know. The most important thing is trustful management but how can we find out that is the important thing. " trust builds when words reflect in actions" over a period when you understand them and put more allocation. this is how you can build your conviction about any stock. 

           "Borrowed conviction is more dangerous than borrowed money."

Experiences produce physical changes in the brain either through new neural connections or through the generation of new neurons. Studies suggest that the brain can change even during the day. This means that the anatomy of the brain varies from individual to individual. Even identical twins with identical genes don't have identical brains. They have had different life experiences. Experiences are the reason that all individuals are unique. There are no individuals with the same upbringing, nutrition, education, social stamping, physical, social and cultural setting.

Unveiling the Multi-bagger Myth

In the world of investing, the allure of multi-bagger stocks is undeniable. These stocks have the potential to deliver exceptional returns and create substantial wealth for investors. While conventional wisdom often highlights certain financial metrics as indicators of multi-bagger potential, a deeper understanding reveals that what most people know isn't worth knowing. In this blog, we will challenge the common beliefs surrounding multi-baggers and explore the factors that truly drive their success. 1. Looking Beyond High ROCE/ROE While high Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) and Return on Equity (ROE) are considered important financial indicators, they do not guarantee multi-bagger status. Instead, it is crucial to identify companies that have the ability to consistently improve their ROCE and ROE over time. 2.
