Imagine what you want in a company, codify it in the form of filters, create a screen. Example below:
A lot of people ask: how do you find companies to invest in? very good question.
How did you find RACL, Pix?

Imagine what you want in a company, codify it in the form of filters, create a screen. Example below:
AND
Market Capitalization < 3000
AND
((Average return on capital employed 5Years > 25 AND
Price to Earning < 20) OR
(Average return on capital employed 5Years > 15 AND
Price to Earning < 10))
AND
Sales growth 5Years > 10
AND
...
Operating cash flow 5years /5 < Operating cash flow 3years /3
AND
Operating cash flow 7years /7 < Operating cash flow 3years /3"
smallcaps with a min mcap,
which have a bare minimum average ROCE & valuation accordance to the unit economics
which are also growing topline
and where operating cash flows are also increasing, on an average basis
One first needs to have a thought about what one is looking for, then one can codify it in screener. Another type of cos i look for are turn-arounds.
AND
(short term sales growth > 7 OR medium term sales growth > 7)
AND
(short term opm growth > 10 OR medium term opm growth > 10)
AND
Market Capitalization < 2000
AND
medium term ocf profit ratio > 0.3
AND
ROIC > 12
2. looking through PF of & tracking super-investors.
For funds/people with sizable PF sizes like @LuckyInvest_AK sir & @SunilBSinghania sir
I track trendlyne portfolios to generate ideas.
1. Study https://t.co/3jeqlXO0QH thread for the company
2. Study company's conference calls, investor presentations
3. Study industry structure through industry reports, webinars on YT
4. Study company's annual report
6. Estimate future growth rates for industry and company's competitive positioning
7. Assign a fair value range for the company
(i) there is significant discount to fair value
& (ii) significant sales & profit growth visibility & triggers
& (iii) Sources of durable competitive advantages which act as the 'moat' around the profit growth and market shares.

what better way to start sunday than a #kilpest thread: a classic peter lynch pick & shovel investment for the diagnostics sector. If you like the thread, please retweet this tweet to help educate max investors. 🙏🙏
Before I dive into Kilpest, some words on microcap investing. Everyone **needs** to be aware of what they are signing up for.
Two interviews from @varinder_bansal sir’s Omkara capital with very successful microcap investors (one with @iancassel sir: https://t.co/WDSOOIcUn8 ...
@iancassel & one with @hiddengemsindia sir: https://t.co/iC8iKOsKWz) do a wonderful job explaining all the landmines & things to keep in mind. Do watch these, please before you buy any #microcap
@iancassel @hiddengemsindia My own take is that one has to create a diversified PF of uncorrelated microcaps (if you'd typically invest in 5, make it 10 and so forth). Understand that liquidity risks will always remain.
Which one of these 4 companies should I make next thread on?

Given the immense interest in this #investment #process thread about how to get investment ideas, thought of creating a logical follow-up 🧵
Given that I have an idea & some sense for valuation & growth, how do i construct a portfolio?
If you like the thread, plz RT.
First thing worth mentioning is that I am only describing my own process. Others can follow a different process which could work for them.
Opposite of a good idea can also be a good idea
Before understanding the process itself, it is important to understand the problems the process is being designed to solve for. What are the key hurdles or troubles I have faced in designing my PF.
Hurdles
1. At any given point in time (in the past) i have only known deeply about 5% of the listed universe in India, or lower. When I say know deeply I mean read an annual report, an investor presentation, a concall, understood why the business is how it is.
2. I only started my corporate life 4 years ago, so my pf size is small compared to yearly savings. This means that I need to deploy large incremental capital every year at least for next few years. This cant be a buy & track pf, this is a keep buying & tracking for a few yrs pf
