Our Investment Experiences with Mr.Tendulkar and Mr.Dhoni

Greetings from Hitesh! Thanks for making our last post “ना खुशी खरीद पाता हूं, और ना गम बेच पाता हूं!” a super hit. Most have liked the same and it has become the most forwarded in last two days. Thanks a lot for the same. Today I am going to share my Investment experiences with Mr. Tendulkar and Mr.Dhoni.

Let me start with some facts.

Tendulakar played from 1989 to 2013. He played 200 Test Matches and he has the recognition of the best BATSMAN ever.

Dhoni Played from 2005 to 2014. He played 90 tests and he is known for as a shrewd captain and a player. In many respect – he had the potential to out-smart Mr.Tendulkar. But he retired last week!!

Let us see Cricket V/s. Investment?

As batsman your goal is to score maximum run while saving his wicket and as an investor your goal is to make maximum money on your investments while conserving your capital.

As a Batsman when you want to score a single run / 4s or 6s / 50s or 100s you need two things – skill set and staying capacity on the ground.

Same way when you invest and you want to make tons of money – you need Skill set and Capacity to hold your investments.

How Normal Investors Plays in the market?

Most normal investors believe that to be successful – you just need Knowledge (Right information or right TIP!!). Do you remember what happed to PAKISTAN in 1971-72 war against India– in spite of having the latest technology? Watch movie BORDER, if you have not.

They do not have the right mindset and skill sets to execute the above 

TIP!!

Most small investor’s want to make fast money and to achieve that goal – they go for Margin Trading. In Margin trading – you have to pay 10% to 25% margin and you can create a position for 100%. In other words, if you have Rs.1 lakh – you can buy shares worth of Rs.4 lakhs!! When market goes up – he ends up making more money than the guy who has just invested Rs.1 lakh.

The problem comes when market falls – the way it has fallen today – he is forced to pay the differences or close the position with a huge loss (loss on Rs.4 lakh!!). He gets wiped out and retires like Mr.Dhoni.

But if he had purchased shares worth of Rs.1 lakh only – he can hold on to his position as he is not required to pay any additional money when market goes down like this. He has the holding capacity in this case.

Most important quality which contributed to MR.TENDULKAR’s success was his staying capacity in successes and failures!!

What is our Call on Market?

We have always maintained that this is a BULL market but it will be volatile depending on the issues that come up from time to time. Today it is GREECE. Tomorrow it can be PAKISTAN and things like that.

The challenge is to have holding capacity. You can increase the holding capacity gradually.

Great Opportunity for Fresh Investors:-

In a typical bull market – fall leads to new highs over a period of time. If you use the fall to accumulate stocks – you make great money over a period of time.

In fact, many new investor friends who joined us in the last month – were happy as they got inaugural discount in the first week of 2015.

What Next?
