In my recent journey of reading "What I Learn About Investing from Darwin" by Pulak Prasad and "How to Think, Trade Like a Champion" by Mark Minervini, while they have contrasting strategies regarding the market I discovered striking similarities between these two legendary investors. Here are some key points:

Believing in Yourself: Both Pulak Prasad and Mark Minervini stress the importance of self-belief in investing. They encourage trusting your instincts, conducting thorough research, and having confidence in your decision-making abilities.

Discipline to Follow Process: Both investors emphasize the need for discipline in adhering to an established investment process. They advocate for creating rules and guidelines and diligently following them to avoid impulsive decisions driven by emotions.

Avoiding Outside News Flow: Pulak Prasad and Mark Minervini advise limiting exposure to external news and noise. They argue that excessive information can cloud judgment and lead to impulsive actions. Instead, they suggest focusing on fundamental factors and performing in-depth analysis.

Taking Small Risks: Both investors highlight the importance of taking calculated risks. They suggest starting with small positions and gradually increasing exposure as confidence and experience grow. This approach helps manage risk effectively while participating in potential lucrative opportunities.

Compound Your Money, Not Mistakes: Pulak Prasad and Mark Minervini emphasize the power of compounding wealth over time. They advocate for patience and long-term investing, allowing gains to accumulate and multiply. Learning from mistakes and avoiding their repetition is crucial for wealth accumulation.

Recognizing Repeating Patterns: Both investors acknowledge the presence of repeating patterns, albeit in different forms. Pulak Prasad focuses on patterns within businesses and industries, while Mark Minervini emphasizes patterns within stock charts. Studying and identifying these recurring patterns can provide an edge in making informed investment decisions.
