Chemcrux Enterprises

Rural areas offer a more favorable environment compared to metropolitan cities. During my second wave of COVID vacation, I had the opportunity to spend time in my hometown and I discovered that it was a source of great inspiration and ideas. Although I have always been intrigued by stock market books, most of the ones I came across were from Western countries. This led me to search for books specifically focused on the Indian stock market, and that's when I came across an incredible book titled "How to Avoid Loss and Earn Consistently in the Stock Market" by Prasenjit Paul. I read the entire book during my journey from my hometown to Ankleshwar and upon finishing it, I was deeply moved by his story. While I generally have an independent mindset when it comes to my investments, I find myself giving a second thought to stocks recommended by individuals like Prasenjit Paul.

Having right education

 It is obvious that Indian parents spend more on their children's education than anywhere else. We cannot pass judgment on that, but the question is what is the proper education? Spending wisely or simply influenced by their neighbors? Tuition classes always make sales pitches based on their top students. I have many topper students in my friend's circles. I believe more than 60% of their success is due to their hard work.         First and foremost, there is the issue of having the proper education. As per basic Indian education, I always found that memory is the test of our marks. Almost all school exams test students' memory. Topper is always full of memories. Nobody teaches how to use that memory. Having little experience in the corporate sector, because of Google, you play very little role in contributing to your business. As per our degree certification, memory is our intelligence. In my view, intelligence is the right use of memory. Intelligenc...

What makes every human different?

My sister always behaves completely differently than me. I am always shocked at why she behaves differently. We have both been staying together since she was born. Mostly, whatever I eat and drink is the same as hers, and we even studied in the same school. But I discovered many differences between myself and her .  when I met one of the twins' sisters. I am curious and want to ask some questions about this. Are they the same? Are they the same in all circumstances? I got an answer of no. Why do people change their behavior? Why do people change over a period of time? Why do relationships change over a period of time? I had always listened that she/he changed now.  I found all these answers in the book of peter bevelin seeking wisdom: From Darwin to Munger,         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...

Never, ever, think about something else when you should be thinking about the power of incentives.” — Charlie Munger

"Incentives are what drive human behavior. Understanding incentives is the key to understanding people. Conversely, failing to recognize the importance of incentives often leads us to make major errors." In the One of my favourite book Poor's Charlie Almanak suggested two examples for this: Federal Express . The heart and soul of their system – which creates the integrity of the product – is having all their airplane come to one place in the middle of the night and shift all the packages from plane to plane. If there are delays, the whole operation can’t deliver a product full of integrity to Federal Express customers. And it was always screwed up. They could never get it done on time. They tried everything – moral suasion, threats, you name it. And nothing worked. Finally, somebody got the idea to pay all these people not so much an hour, but so much a shift and when it’s all done, they can all go home. Well, their problems cleared up overnight. Early in the history of X...

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. Rethinking Debt/Equity Ratios Low Debt/Equity ratios are often seen as a positive sign, indicating financial stability. However, merely focusing on reducing debt levels doe...

My notes from " All I want to know is where I'm going to die. So I'll never go there"

  "Big life issues like choosing the right spouse, education, career, friends, a place to live, investment, or taking care of your health. A wrong choice in these matters may haunt you a long, long time or may even 'kill' you."  • "A lot of success in life and business comes from knowing what you want to avoid: early death, a bad marriage , etc. Just avoid things like racing trains to the crossing, doing cocaine, etc. Develop good mental habits. .. Avoid evil, particularly if they're attractive members of the opposite sex."  • "You should make the right decisions, and one of the most important decisions you will make in your life is choosing a good spouse. You need everything to be stable, and if that decision isn't good, it may affect every other decision in life, including your business decisions."  • Old saying: If you want to be happy in marriage, improve yourself as a spouse before you try to improve your spouse's qualities as a ...
