Transcripts
Hi, everyone. Welcome to today's video.
So today we are going to understand how
much knowledge of finance do you need to make money in the stock markets.
Now, many of you comment on my videos that hey Akshat,
you analyze stocks really well.
So can you please give us some tips on how we can get started in the stock market?
Which books should we read?
Which course should we take?
So I'll break down this topic on this video
that what are some sequential steps you
need to take to make money in the stock markets.
I'll explain a simple four step process, nothing major.
I'll give you real world examples.
So please stay tuned till the end of the video and there is a homework for you.
So please don't run away and pause this video.
It's a very interesting homework. Please complete it.
That would indicate to me that you actually learn something from my video.
And please press the like button.
That would mean a lot to me and it will make me super happy.
So let's get started and let me start this
video by asking you a very simple question.
The question is that what percentage of people or what percentage of retail
investors do you think lose money in the stock markets?
The short answer is that there are a lot
of people who lose money in the stock market.
In fact, majority of the retail investors lose money in the stock market.
Some studies indicate that close to 95%
retail investors lose money in the stock market.
Right.
So almost all the retail investors net- net lose money in the stock market.
This is a very scary situation, but there is a very important lesson here.
What is the lesson?
The lesson is that majority of the retail investors lose money in the stock market
because they are not fundamentally educated about the stock markets.
If you have knowledge in the stock market, you can make money.
Big players like Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, RadhaKrishnan Dhamani, they have been making
insane amount of money in the stock market for decades.
Right?
So it's not a blind game that you just come into the stock market,
make random bets, and just make money in the stock market.
So the lesson is that if you're a retail
investor, then you must learn about the stock market and then only enter it.
So stock market is a game where people
with knowledge make money and where people with bad knowledge lose money.
So it is very important for you that if you are interested in the stock market,
you understand the following four points about it very, very systematically.
Point number one, you need to have a basic understanding about finance.
More importantly, you must have an intuitive understanding
about finance and business because at the end of the day in the stock market,
you're investing money in companies which are businesses.
Therefore, you must understand fundamental analysis.
How good the fundamentals of a particular business are.
Number two, you must understand what the industry outlook is.
Is it likely to grow or shrink?
You must also understand some of the basic ratios.
Right?
I'll speak about it in a minute, but you must have a basic understanding
of financial ratios, how to analyze businesses, how to analyze basic stocks.
So point number one is that you must have a basic understanding of finance.
Now, why is it important?
Because when you are investing your money
in the stock market, for example, if you're going and buying Bharti Airtel or if
you're going and buying HUL or Tata Motors, what are you doing?
You're eventually buying a business.
So you must at least understand that what the business looks like.
What are some of the good things,
bad things about Tata Motors, some of the good things, bad things about ITC.
Similarly, you must also understand what the industry outlook is.
So this is called as forwardlooking analysis of different industries.
So you must pick certain cues, which industries
are going to grow and which industries are going to shrink.
Similarly, you must understand basic ratios.
You must understand how to look at the balance sheet,
at least the basics of it.
So now let me illustrate this point by giving you two real world examples here.
So let me jump to Tickertape and let me talk a little bit about industry analysis.
What is it that you need to keep in mind when analyzing different industries?
So you might have read a lot of articles around telecom industry, that telecom
industry in the past has been very unprofitable.
There have been a bunch of companies,
a bunch of mergers and acquisitions that have happened in the telecom space.
And eventually we are moving to a point where there are going to be two or three
key players. Which are two three key players in the Indian telecom space?
One is Jio. Of course it's Reliance.
So many international investors, like Google, Facebook,
are pouring money in Reliance Jio, and it is a massive stock from that angle.
So of course, you can understand just
by looking at the mergers and acquisitions that is happening in this industry,
that something big is happening in this industry.
Reliance is focusing it's almost entire business now on Jio platforms.
They're moving away from the oil and gas industry.
So if I were to ask you a simple question, so from this discussion and tell me
in the comments that do you think that oil and gas industry is dying?
Is it going down? Comment
yes or no. Second, do you think that given this information what I have told you
and this is something that you would read in news, you will consume information
about? Do you think that the telecom space? Is it growing or shrinking? So
the correct answer is that, hey, the oil and gas space is going down,
unfortunately, and the telecom space is going up.
So what are some of the major players in the telecom space?
Reliance Jio
is there, Airtel is there, these are two prominent companies right now.
Now, if we go and take a look
at Bharti Airtel stock, you will see a bunch of information being played out.
Right. So if you are doing industry analysis,
what is the first thing that you will consider?
You will consider the first question as
that hey is Bharti Airtel going to survive in this race?
The answer
seems like yes, there is going to be Reliance, Jio and Bharti Airtel is surviving.
So what gives us that strength to say that Bharti Airtel is going to survive?
So let's look at financials very quickly before jumping into the financials.
What did we do?
We did a very quick industry analysis and ascertained that telecom stocks look fine.
It's a growing industry, good industry to pick.
Second step. What are we going to do?
We are going to do stock specific analysis.
Right. So we are looking at Bharti Airtel.
Why? Because our hypothesis or our belief is
that Bharti Airtel is going to go up going forward.
So let us validate that now. Why am I saying that
Bharti Airtel has a good chance of survival in this race of acquisitions, mergers
and whatnot? The reason is that if the revenues are
growing for any company, it means that its sales are going up.
People are still continuing to use Bharti Airtel.
And that is one of the surest signs that this is a very positive sign,
irrespective of whatever else is happening.
So one is that the company is able to sell
more units of whatever product it is selling.
And this has gone up in the last few years.
There has been a consistent growth, which is good.
Number two, what specific thing you need to know
in terms of fundamental analysis? You must understand that okay
hey, the company is generating revenues.
But is it still profitable?
If not, why not? Right.
So here let's take a look at net income. So you will see that
hey, some years it has been positive.
Some years it has been negative and it has been negative.
So this looks like a worrying trend.
Now, after looking at net income, you might get really stressed out that hey
this is a loss making company and something might be wrong.
Most of the occasions the equation holds true that
if the company is making consistent
losses, then probably it's a bad company to invest in.
But you need to see this in conjunction with the entire industry.
Right.
Don't just look at one single stock, look at the entire industry.
So even compare Bharti Airtel stock with its peers.
For example, if you take a look at who we
peers or competitors of Bharti Airtel, you will see that
ok.
Tata Communication Limited is one of the peers.
Right.
So let's look at the financials of Tata Communication.
Now, here we are.
So total revenues have they been growing for Tata Com? The answer is no, right.
It has almost stayed flat.
Since 2018 net income has been negative, negative, negative.
And then suddenly it became positive.
Now this is a very interesting thing, right?
That one company, Bharti Airtel, its revenues have been going up,
but its net income is still fluctuating, negative, positive.
But Tata Communications,
its revenues has stayed stable, but its net income has become positive.
Now, why does such a scenario play out?
You need to further investigate in terms of understanding the industry.
So essentially, what happens in the telecom industry is
that the company first has to build a lot of infrastructure.
For example, they have to buy a Spectrum, 4G, 5G.
Then they have to establish data cables
when they have to establish offices, hire a lot of staff,
and then they start selling the Internet or any other additional services.
The same scenario played out when Jio was launched.
That Jio was incurring massive amount of losses,
insane amount of losses when they started doling out Internet for free.
But once people bought jio services, they stayed put.
So the customers switching was very less.
Similarly, the customers switching from AirTel to Jio is also very less.
So that's a good sign.
That's a good matrix that you need to consider.
And both Bharti Airtel and Jio are doing well on that bit that's point 1 and point 2 is that
now this net income actually becomes
positive for infrastructure heavy industries as the sales pickup.
So the point that we need to note down
for our telecom based industry is and this is something that you will understand if
you read a lot of articles along the telecom industry that telecom industry
stocks are good if the customers switching is less and the revenues are growing.
So from that angle, Bharti Airtel is agood stock. Now this is not a stock buying recommendation.
I'm just trying to tell you how to do industry analysis and firm analysis.
This is stuff that people would not teach you.
Please understand this fundamentally and do it from a learning purpose.
So this is how you do industry analysis.
This is how you do basic stock analysis.
There are a bunch of different things
depending on the stock, but this is where you get started.
Now let me move on to the next point, which is about analyzing financial ratios.
Now I'll make a separate video on this how to analyze financial ratios.
But in case you're just getting started,
you need to understand two three things things about financial ratios.
First and foremost,
there is a lot of misinformation that if the PE of a stock is high, do not buy it,
or if the debt of a company is very high, do not buy it.
It really depends on the industry again.
For example, on the previous case, Bharti Airtel, of course, they are going to have
debt because they are an infrastructure heavy driven company.
They have to establish so much infrastructure, they have to buy Spectrum.
Whatnot?
So they have to spend a lot of money up front.
So at that period of their business, the debt will be high.
But as the money starts rolling in, after a while, the debt will go down.
So if the debt is high on such businesses, it is okay, they will still survive.
But if the company is very small and it is using capital inefficiently in an industry
where companies do not have high debt, then of course that's a bad company.
So just don't generally assume that the debt is bad, right?
It really depends on the industry.
Second, many people believe that, hey, the price to earnings ratio,
if it is high, if it is greater than 30, then do not buy the stock.
That is completely incorrect.
So let me prove that via an example.
So let us look at the finances of one
of the top stocks in India right now, which is HDFC
asset management company, also called as HDFC AMC.
Now, if we take a look at the P E ratio.
So let us compare rather with peers.
So you will see here that hey HDFC AMC has 46 P/E ratio.
Now, if you ask me, hey Akshat, would you buy this stock?
The answer is yes.
I'm actually buying the stock. Right.
When Bajaj Holding has only 11.84. Right.
Nippon has 36. This has 23.
So why are you buying this?
Because as I explained on one of my earlier videos, also that PE ratio
is also an indicator of growth.
People are giving this stock a high PE
because they believe that going forward, this company will grow.
Now, what is the way to check if a company will grow or not?
And then you can ascertain whether this company deserves a high PE ratio or not.
So let me quickly show you that how you can check
if a company can actually grow.
Now, a bunch of different things will go into it.
But first and foremost, you must see that if the company has a history of growth.
So if you take a look at the sales of the company.
So if you take a look at 2016, the sales were approximately 1500
and now it has gone up to 2194 in a matter of five years.
So the company knows how to grow.
The profit has more than doubled, more than doubled in a span of five years,
which is great growth for a company with such a high capital under management.
Now this is a big company and it is
increasing its profit at a rate of 2x in five years.
This is massive growth.
This is massive growth because the company itself is quite big.
So this growth is very high.
So the point I want to prove is that the company knows how to grow profitably.
It has done it in the past.
And if the industry outlook looks good,
then this company can again quadruple its sales
quadruple its profits.
Why does this happen?
Because companies as they become bigger
and if they know how to churn out profits, their ROCE becomes very high.
So if you check the ROCE for HDFC AMC, it is 39.9, which is massive.
It shows that if you are putting or if you're giving RS100 to HDFC AMC,
it can turn out the profit of approximately Rs40, which is massive,
which is a massive ROCE for a company like HDFC.
Now we were comparing it to Bajaj.
Now let's do the same analysis for Baja Holding.
Now you tell me if the ROCE of Bajaj Holding is what? It's 11.6. So therefore,
this is what ratios and understanding ratios can help you uncover that
if you understand that a company's growth rate has been very high,
it is growing profitably, and it has a consistent history of growth
with very high ROCE, it means that it is a very effective company.
It definitely deserves a high ROCE.
Now, its competitor, Bajaj, does not have the same ROCE.
That is the problem.
And that is the reason why HDFC AMC commands a very high PE ratio.
So you must know at least this level
of understanding before you start directly investing in stocks.
So the first point was a little longer
because I was teaching you the fundamental analysis of the business.
The second point that you need to note
down is that how do we understand the stock market?
There are certain points that you must understand.
And there are a few things that I've
observed people getting wrong about stock market.
First and foremost, they assume that the stocks move in a straight line.
If they're buying a stock next day, it should go like this.
If they are selling a stock next day, it should go like this.
It should just fall down.
It doesn't work that way.
Pick any stock and it will have a consistent up and down
trajectory. Right.
Stocks will move like this. Right.
So please keep this in mind.
This is the first key misnomer that people have about investing in stock markets.
The second key point,
that the price of a stock, for example, it's HDFC AMC is trading at 2864.
Right.
The price of the stock is determined by what?
The price of the stock is determined
by the intersection of demand and supply curve.
Right.
If there are more buyers than sellers for the stock, the stock price will go up.
If the supply is more than the demand, then the stock price will go down.
Right.
This is a very important concept, and this needs to be seen in conjunction.
This has got nothing, absolutely nothing with the intrinsic value of the stock.
Right.
I can't stress on this point enough.
For example, many a times you might have seen that ITC or any other company would
have posted great results, but the stock price actually came down.
Now, why?
Because of this fact. Similarly a lot of companies post
horrible results but their stock price go up.
Now, latest example here is Zomato.
So when I made the IPO of Zomato analysis,
in fact, I said it on the Zomato analysis also and you can check it
towards the end of the video,
I categorically said that there might be listening gains.
That is extremely short term. But people kept on commenting that hey
Akshat you got your IPO analysis wrong about Zomato.
No, I was doing a business and fundamental analysis of the business.
A few days after I had posted that video,
Professor Aswath Damodaran wrote a blog around the IPO of Zomato.
Right? This is the link.
You can actually go and check this entire article.
He categorically pointed out on this blog
that the intrinsic value of Zomato stock is Rs41.
It got listed at approximately Rs70.
Now it's trading at 140 Rupees.
See, what is happening here is that this is short term, right?
This is extremely short term.
It is extremely volatile.
Even when the bad news of yes bank came
into the picture, the stock fell like this.
Then it jumped. Right?
People made like 100% return and then it fell back, so on and so forth.
So there is a lot of fluctuation that goes on in any stock.
But if you talk to any person who understand finance, for example,
professor Aswath Damodaran is considered one of the principal authorities on valuation.
He has written books on valuation,
Wall Street companies go to him to take advice on how to value companies.
If he's saying that the valuation
of Zomato is Rs41 per share, I am going to believe it 100%.
And that is precisely the reason why
Rakesh Jhunjhunwala also came out with the Disclaimer that hey,
I'm not investing one rupee in this company unless I see profits.
Now, this does not mean that I am
fundamentally against Zomato or any other company.
But you need to understand a more indepth point here.
The indepth point is very simple
that the price of a stock is determined by demand and supply equation.
Now demand and supply can be manipulated by news.
It can go up, it can go down.
Problem that happens is that retail investors lose money because a lot
of people will get stuck with Zomato, or any other company.
And if the business does not pick up,
then you're stuck at Rs140 or whichever price it hits.
Right. That's the problem.
And then you will never get an opportunity to get out of that stock.
So this is the principal problem that you assume that just because the price is
hitting 140, Zomato has an intrinsic value over X million dollars.
Right? That is not correct.
Please do not assume it.
So please develop your skills
to understand the intrinsic value of the stock because whether the stock
goes down, whether the stock goes up, you will at least not do panic selling
in that stage. There are enough stocks from which I have made 100% return.
Right?
It's not as if that I am regretting not investing in Zomato IPO.
First and foremost, if you are investing in IPOs, you hardly get allotment.
And even if you somehow magically do the allotment amount is very less.
It hardly makes any difference.
But important point to note is that you
must develop your skills to understand what the intrinsic value of stocks are.
So I will highly encourage you to read
this entire article which is written by Professor Aswath Damodaran.
He has explained categorically how companies are valued.
This will be an excellent case study for you to absorb and understand how to do
intrinsic valuation of different companies.
Now you might say that, you know what?
What's the guarantee that you are right about Zomato?
No guarantee.
But we can all learn from history and previous data.
For example, you might have heard of 1990s dot com bubble.
At that stage, companies were raising
millions, raising millions without even a pitch deck.
Right?
If you're a tech company, if you're a tech founder and you were
talking tech tech tech, you were raising millions of dollars.
But eventually what happened? At some stage
this bubble burst. Same goes for financial crisis of 2008.
It's not as if the people were not able to avail loans.
They were availing loans.
This bubble kept on going up and it eventually popped at certain stage.
So please do not assume that investing in housing was great by the time 2007,
2008 hit because the housing prices were soaring.
Yes, they were soaring for a little bit of time.
And then the bubble burst.
So please keep all these specific points
in mind before you start making massive investments.
Understand and fundamentally evaluate what
the intrinsic value of a particular stock particular industry is.
If you have no clue,
then please adopt simple strategies that are outlined on some of my other videos.
So moving on to point 3 many people ask that hey
Akshat, what sequence we should learn about stock markets?
Should we do FNO first, should we do intraday trading first?
Should we do swing trading, or should we just do long term investing?
So first and foremost,
if you are a complete beginner, number one goal should be that you must
understand how to compute the intrinsic value of industry and stock.
Okay, that's one.
If you don't understand it,
play the mutual fund game or smallcase game till then, right?
That's one very important.
If that is also complicated,
please invest your money in passive mutual fund, for example, Nifty 50 or Sensex.
You cannot go wrong because you're betting
on the economy in that respect and you will not lose money.
I've said this statement in the past
that you will start making money in the stock market.
That is not a problem.
You just have to stay long enough
in the stock market and not get burned in the initial days.
If you're just starting out learning about
stock market and if you start taking FNO trade, it's bad, right?
You can get badly burned and you will never come back to the stock market.
So here is the sequence that you should follow.
First and foremost,
keep learning about calculating the intrinsic value of different stocks.
Once you feel comfortable,
then only jump in the stock market in terms of direct equity buying. Number two,
if you have to start investing, then start with mutual fund.
Start with Sips. Start with small cases.
Those are much simpler to understand.
So start making investments there and start aggregating your knowledge here
in terms of computing the intrinsic values.
Once you have that little bit
of experience in buying direct equities, after you have understood how intrinsic
values are calculated, you move on to doing different trading.
To start learning more about technical
indicators, you start learning more about technical indicators.
Then you move on to FNO and more complicated gmaes from there. Point four,
and the final part of this video is that where should you get started?
Should you start by reading books? Should
you start by watching YouTube videos? It does not matter,
right? What I would recommend is read a book called as Psychology of Money
that will help you understand more about money in general. Right?
Not just stock markets, because stock market is a combination
of psychology, history, business valuation, trading patterns,
whatnot?
So it's a very complex, animal, complex beast, right?
So don't jump into and read a book on stock market investing.
Read the book Intelligent Investor.
It's a wonderful book to read.
It's slightly complex, but you will understand some of the key concepts.
Watch videos of people who talk about fundamentals.
I try to put out a lot of fundamental videos.
I teach about ratios, analyses, etcetera. Watch those videos.
It might become simpler for you to understand.
And then finally, you can handpick certain books to develop what?
To develop the understanding of computing intrinsic value of stocks.
Once you get to that stage, you are comfortable.
You can start learning more about stock markets.
It does not matter which resource you want to follow.
So as a homework, once you have read professor Aswath Damodaran's
blog, do try to compute the intrinsic value of this YouTube channel.
Do try to compute the intrinsic value of this YouTube channel.
There is a site called as Social Blade.
You can get a lot of data from it about this particular YouTube channel.
Go figure it out and try to compute
the intrinsic value and let me know in the comments.
So I hope you enjoyed the video, and I'll see you the next time.
