SmallCap Hunter : Trying to find the dark horses with triggers (18-09-2023)
All your above posts are simply talking about your PF changes. You are literally converting this thread in your PF discussion.
If you want to start a PF thread then do so. If you believe participation will not be great then thats up to you and the forum members. Get a financial advisor if this doesn’t meet your requirements.
I’ll delete my post soon
SmallCap Hunter : Trying to find the dark horses with triggers (18-09-2023)
@ajayt001 @StonePitbull @avneesh @ChaitanyaC @jitenp
Thank you all for taking the time to consider and replying my query. I wish to clarify that my intention is not to divert or take over the current discussion.
With my limited experience, I am eager to learn from experienced individuals about
1.how sectors move and identify trending or cooling sectors.
2.Identify small-cap stocks within the trending or cooling sectors.
Some senior privately suggested me about starting my PF thread. but Given my current level, even if I start my PF thread, I presume it might have a limited participation which may not significantly contribute to the idea of identifying treanding/cooling sectors and small-cap stocks within them.
Hence, I thought of seeking guidance and insights by posting my question at this a thread dedicated to small-caps.
Could you please guide and provide further suggestions ?
Is it possible to ask to moderators/known experts about starting small-cap stocks within the trending or cooling sectors thread ? Can i ask any of you to start such thread ?

Cutting losses, and that too as quickly as possible is a learning on investment journey. I used to be slow to take losses and often took hits of nearly 20-40% on my positions. But during Covid crash, I somehow managed to exit extremely quickly during the first phase of fall itself and that helped me get over the mental block of booking losses quickly
Usually whenever you are attempting something new, first couple of times, its difficult, but once you start doing it regularly and start seeing the results, it becomes second nature.
The only drawback to this strategy is that sometimes after your quick exit in any position, the stock price will start moving up and often with vengeance. We have to learn to make peace with this kind of scenario. That too comes with experience. This kind of stuff has to be taken philosophically. You cannot win them all. You win some, you lose some. But whenever you are in a winning position, make sure to make the most of it.

Leverage is a double edged sword. If you know how to use it, it can win you wars, and if you don’t it can hurt you.
While using leverage, the key remains to control greed. A definite level ( as you mention 30-40% ) of leverage has to be fixed beyond which no matter what, you will not go. If there is this kind of discipline, then maybe there can be a case of leverage. Other aspect is that if markets turns in the direction opposite to your anticipation, you will have to take quick decisions.
I do not have any experience of leverage except in my early days when for a brief spell I used to dabble in F&O, but was lucky enough to exit with minimal scars. Those days luckily I did not have enough money to lose. I have heard some friends use leverage on their own holdings to buy other holdings, but this thing has never appealed to me.

Thank you so much and my deep gratitude to you for always handholding investors so that their learning curve is fast with less mistakes. Am amazed and wonderstruck with the regularity with which you have been replying to learning investors like me over a long period, with practical solutions. Practical suggestions like you give are never found anywhere else in any book.
Have followed averaging on the up rather than down after your suggestion long time back and have found it to be comfortable now though initially it was uncomfortable as it was going against the instinct.
I have often found myself unable to cut losses when it goes down.
How does one be nimble and decisive without being regretful ? How to change this instinct ?

For the Indian electrical industry, flagship initiatives like the Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS),National Smart Grid Mission (NSGM) and Integrated Power Development Scheme (IPDS), which aim to modernise and fortify the power distribution infrastructure, offer substantial potential
to stimulate demand. The government’s commitment to ‘Housing for All’, ‘Power for All’, digitalisation of the economy, and the promotion of indigenous manufacturing are also expected to
create a positive climate for industry growth.

reach ` 30 Crore.
Notably, we reduced our inventory days by 38 days, demonstrating our efficient inventory management and diligent monitoring of accounts receivable.
We closed the year with a strong order book of ` 1,500+ Crore,which ensures revenue visibility for the short and medium term.The metering and systems segment constitutes 82% of this
order book, reflecting a substantial surge in demand due to the implementation of government schemes.

a positive indicator as these attract higher realisations and contribute to improved profitability
