1/ My Mission: To Spread Financial Wellness (thread)
Here’s what "financial wellness" means to me
⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

Humans are programmed to think short-term
Evolutionary, thinking short-term makes sense. It helps with survival.
Financial wellness is all about training yourself to develop a long-term mindset
Not easy -- it takes practice
3/ Mindset
If you join the right tribes, you can’t help but improve

If you pick stocks, you MUST learn how to read an income statement.
Here’s everything you need to know:
The income statement shows a company’s revenue and expenses over a period of time, usually a quarter or year.
It’s also called:
▪️Profit and Loss statement, or “P & L”
▪️Statement of earnings
It follows this basic format:
Most public companies show their income statement in their quarterly earnings press release, but not always
Find them by looking at:
▪️10-Q (quarterly report)
▪️10-K (annual report)
▪️Aggregator websites like @theTIKR
Let's use Home Depot fiscal 2021 as an example
Step 1: Get the data
▪️ Go to https://t.co/OO3BfNGWVl
▪️ Search "HD"
▪️ Click the "10-K" from March 23rd
▪️ Scroll to "Statement of earnings"
The income statement flows in a step-down manner.
The top number is revenue (sales), and costs + expenses are subtracted as you go down

Get a cup of coffee.
In this thread, I'll show you how to read and understand a company's Balance Sheet.
As investors, we should be able to judge businesses by looking at their financial statements.
And the Balance Sheet, of course, is 1 of 3 key financial statements: pic.twitter.com/6D0HA0vmEN

Building conviction on existing portfolio stocks is complex topic. I am still learning and have only 2-3 years exp. Lot of learning is inspired from @varinder_bansal as part of omkara family, listening to old colleage @connectgurmeet on news channel and @unseenvalue posts
https://t.co/KQkupOeFzp financial statements and results on quarterly basis to evaluate whether your thesis on company is still intact through growth in revenue, profits and cash. You cannot rely only on whats app forwards or brokerage updates.
2.Quarterly Con-Calls post result covering enviornment of the sector in which company operates, future expansion plans, & companies confidence in responding to fund managers. (For eg, in my evening walks, i listen to con-calls on You tube rather than music to utilize the time.)
3. High conviction is build when you compare py qtr or py year con call scripts and see whether company giving forward statements were met in subsequent quarters or not. For eg company said they will be doing CAPEX for 100 crores in FY 2020 and then we can see current state.
4. Profits not growing qtr or qt or yr on yr is not the sign for low conviction. You need to screen the balance sheet to see if the company has taken huge R&D expenditure which they believe is right for company as they build new products for future years, then that make sense

MDZS is laden with buddhist references. As a South Asian person, and history buff, it is so interesting to see how Buddhism, which originated from India, migrated, flourished & changed in the context of China. Here's some research (🙏🏼 @starkjeon for CN insight + citations)
1. LWJ’s sword Bichen ‘is likely an abbreviation for the term 躲避红尘 (duǒ bì hóng chén), which can be translated as such: 躲避: shunning or hiding away from 红尘 (worldly affairs; which is a buddhist teaching.) (https://t.co/zF65W3roJe) (abbrev. TWX)
2. Sandu (三 毒), Jiang Cheng’s sword, refers to the three poisons (triviṣa) in Buddhism; desire (kāma-taṇhā), delusion (bhava-taṇhā) and hatred (vibhava-taṇhā).
These 3 poisons represent the roots of craving (tanha) and are the cause of Dukkha (suffering, pain) and thus result in rebirth.
Interesting that MXTX used this name for one of the characters who suffers, arguably, the worst of these three emotions.
3. The Qian kun purse “乾坤袋 (qián kūn dài) – can be called “Heaven and Earth” Pouch. In Buddhism, Maitreya (मैत्रेय) owns this to store items. It was believed that there was a mythical space inside the bag that could absorb the world.” (TWX)
