In my view, different stocks play different roles in a portfolio at any given point in time.

If you had frozen the March 2020 Portfolio of PPFAS flexicap as it is then in 2 years, their domestic folio beats overseas by 2.5:1

#PPFAS

I believe PPFAS suffers from typecasting. most investors believe the differentiation is an overseas component and not other features like going into cash/ value/ safety first etc.

no one looks at tax-efficient way of looking at returns along with risk is taken/ churn happened.
Persistent/ Mphasis/ CDSL are 4 to 7 X and with meaningful weight.

IEX is now 2.5-3X (though not part of Indian portfolio)

including dividend, ITC has beaten up amazon since then

There is no scientific way to find out which stock worked well. Only fund house knows buying prices.

this exercise can be done by any investor at any given point of time from factsheet date to any date. (relevant enough in my view)

So the cryptocurrency industry has basically two products, one which is relatively benign and doesn't have product market fit, and one which is malignant and does. The industry has a weird superposition of understanding this fact and (strategically?) not understanding it.


The benign product is sovereign programmable money, which is historically a niche interest of folks with a relatively clustered set of beliefs about the state, the literary merit of Snow Crash, and the utility of gold to the modern economy.

This product has narrow appeal and, accordingly, is worth about as much as everything else on a 486 sitting in someone's basement is worth.

The other product is investment scams, which have approximately the best product market fit of anything produced by humans. In no age, in no country, in no city, at no level of sophistication do people consistently say "Actually I would prefer not to get money for nothing."

This product needs the exchanges like they need oxygen, because the value of it is directly tied to having payment rails to move real currency into the ecosystem and some jurisdictional and regulatory legerdemain to stay one step ahead of the banhammer.
