Management Quality

 Having a little experience in investing journey I find out that one of the most important factors to find our stocks is the quality of management. this topic always raises the contentious issue of whether retail investors have the opportunity to talk to management and understand insider information. I consider what we have control over.let me share some insights which I had figured out in the last some years that how to find efficient management. 

                      First of all, I look for consistency which is the most important part of your business. look at things which management had done in their down period. having consistency over ten or more year in their cash generation and operation margins make their acumen to business. If consistency is not there look at what management had told in their investor presentation or AGM. After some period of time, all CEO & management become a salesman. they just want to sell their company to investors. be aware of these things. here, you can check the integrity of management and wether they are bluffing about their consistency or not.

                    The second factor which I look at in efficient management is how they manage their working capital and inventory. how they can manage this two things which you can understand.

                    Third factor is capital allocation which management does for their investors. whatever cash they had generate over the year period how they manage thier cash. Is are they paying more for their acquiring new companies. Is they are giving dividend to investors before paying debt in their company.

"MOAT"

In simple terms, MOAT means competitive advantage. When you are competing with others, you need some advantages over other people. For example, when you have a good book or mentor who doesn't have anyone for the exam. People always find mistaken moats. Moats like great products, strong market share, great execution, and great management. Let's analyse real moats for companies. 1) the cost of switching; 2) intangible assets  3) cost advantage 4) The network effect      C ommonly, switching bank accounts is mentally hectic .

Heart vs. Mind

There is always a conflict between heart and mind. weather in a life partner, career, money spending, investing, etc. your heart is weak to make decisions. heart always follows short-term gratification which is mostly wrong. so here we can discuss the difference between them.       The brain changes continually as a result of our experiences. 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. This creates different convictions, habits, values, an...
