Dear Reader,
Samvat 2081 (2024-25) Diwali Muhurat Date: 01 Nov’24 Time: 6.00 PM to 7.00 PM
Muhurat trading is the auspicious stock market trading for an hour on Diwali (Deepawali). It is a symbolic and old ritual, that has been retained and observed for ages, by the trading community. As Diwali also marks the beginning of the New Year, it is believed that muhurat trading on this day brings in wealth and prosperity throughout the year.
The "muhurat" trading session will be of 60 minutes, to be conducted today on 01st Nov 2024 between 6.00 PM to 7.00 PM on leading bourses NSE and BSE. The special trading session would be conducted to pay obeisance to Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth and prosperity. It would also mark the New Year for traders as per the Hindu calendar, or Samvat 2081.
Since last year Diwali day i.e. 12th Nov 2023, Sensex and Nifty have given returns of 22.3% and 24.6% (as on date) respectively. The probability of getting similar returns like that of last year from small and mid caps in Samvat 2081 is high considering recent correction in broader market, modest inflation and expectation of lower interest rates going forward.
The future looks bright for Indian equities considering the reforms done by the Govt over last few years. Higher infra spending, incentive linked schemes to encourage investments in various sectors, favorable policies to boost local manufacturing are some of the initiatives which will continue to play a major role in supporting economic growth. Moreover, with good monsoon this year, pick up in rural demand and stable interest rates, we expect the companies from various sectors to report better revenue and profitability over next one year.

We continue to follow our simple but effective approach by evaluating each stock on the basis of below mentioned criteria’s.
(i) Top Quality management with high integrity:
This is an absolutely non-negotiable condition. If the management is not honest, will they want to share the goodies with you? No, they will look for the first opportunity to siphon off the profits and pull the wool over your eyes.
(ii) The scale of opportunity must be big:
Multi-bagger stocks are created because they are able to scale the opportunity rapidly. Titan Industries is a great example. In 2003-04, Titan‘s market cap was 500 crores. In 2024, it is more than 2,90,000 crores. The fact that India is a booming marketplace of 140 crores consumers means that most products and services have a head start at trying to scale up their activities.
(iii) Low debt; free cash flows:
We learnt from the great crisis of 2011 and 2019 that companies with high debt on their books simply get slaughtered. While debt per se is not bad (if the company is able to borrow at a lower rate and deploy it in its business at a higher rate, the operating leverage works in its favour), excessive debt with high interest and repayment obligations can crunch the stock in times of downturn. So, as a long-term investment philosophy, it is best to steer clear of high-debt companies.
(iv) High ROE – Efficient users of capital:
Some company’s management is able to squeeze that little extra of every buck. A ROE of at least 15-20% is necessary to make into the hallowed list of model portfolio.
(v) No High Capex Requirements – No Serial Diluters of Equity:
We know from past experience the demerits of investing in stocks like Suzlon & GMR which have an insatiable appetite for more and more capital. To feed their perennial hunger, these companies dilute their equity by making FPOs, GDRs & FCCBs resulting in total destruction of shareholder's wealth. Companies should be lean and mean requiring minimal capital but generating huge returns there from.
(vi) Reasonable growth expectations:
“If you get a tax-free return of 18% for your portfolio, you must be very happy”. So, stop craving for that overnight multi-bagger. You’ll only end up losing your precious capital that way. Instead, look for well established small, mid and blue chips companies that are growing at a reasonable rate of return (15 – 25%). With time and the magic of compounding, you will have your muti-bagger in your portfolio.
(vii) Valuations:
Most investors are obsessed about valuations, refusing to buy any stock that is “expensive”. However, one must remember that “expensive” is a relative term. If a stock is compounding at 25% on an annual basis, paying a price of 30 times earnings may be very reasonable. A stock like Nestle, for instance, has always been “expensive”. However, if an investor had gone ahead and bought the stock, he would have had an incredible multi-bagger on his hands. On the other hand, in trying to buy a “cheap” stock, one may get saddled with unsavory companies. After all, there is a reason why such stocks are “cheap”.
Of course, one should be careful not to buy in euphoric or bubble times when the pricing may be extravagant and not at all reasonable.
(viii) Concentrated Portfolio:
We like Warren Buffett approach, a believer in the concept of a concentrated portfolio. If you believe in the prospects of a stock you should be prepared to put a substantial chunk of money in it – or nothing at all. There is no point in buying a bit of this and a bit of that because that dilutes your returns.
Of course, we are no match for Warren Buffett and we do not have his conviction levels. So, we’ll stick to 10 stocks to begin with, which means that from 5% to 12% of the wealth will be invested in each stock.
(ix) Diversification:
Last but not the least; a proper portfolio must be diversified across sectors. A bit of Finance, a bit of consumption, some autos, some IT with a pinch of chemical, pharma etc will make a balanced portfolio.
