Just wondering…as the company has fair bit of exposure to US markets, and few economists already anticipating a recession in US mid next year, how this is going to impact SBCL’s growth/projections?

Investing Basics – Feel free to ask the most basic questions (08-10-2023)
If you are a new investor, how are you sure enough that you will earn more than the index?
I think you should put your ability to test first by investing some amount in mutual fund and some amount in stocks of your choice over atleast one bear and bull cycle.
SOIC tells us to test our ability at least for few years in comparison with the mutual fund.
For reference, I currently invest only 25 percent in direct stocks, because I am not completely confident of my ability. I have recently decided to increase that percentage. I have started investing in mutual funds in the late 2019. Direct stock investing in mid 2021.
How do you know that a mutual fund NAV is at all time high?
Except maybe smallcap mutual funds, being tactical in mutual funds does not help much.
My selection criteria for a good mutual fund for your reference →
- AUM is not too high
- Managers is good and can invest in all caps
- Change in AUM due to fresh money is not high as there are not many good ideas every month to invest into.
- Low beta(should not take too much risk) when compared to the alpha
I prefer the Parag parikh tax saver fund.

In even psychology of money, it is written how by regular SIP you can get a better returns than timing your SIP.
Finally to your question
You will learn it in your journey and it is investor dependent.
For reference, I like keeping my SIP on until and unless, I see some opportunity and skip my SIP to invest in direct stocks that month.
I have also planned to keep less than 10 percent in fixed assets to invest in company directly when I don’t find many good ideas and to keep the allocation to direct stocks at least to the minimum defined.
Disclosure – I can be too stupid at times and take this advice with the pinch of salt and sugar maybe.

Investing in MF and stocks are 2 different things, SIP or otherwise.
SIP is MF is due to the reason of not timing the market, which is time consuming to certain extent, and the investor may feel to not invest and wait, citing high valuations or low valuations, and as such, he may miss certain periods of time, which may impact the overall return. So, invest irrespective of the levels of the market, irrespective of the valuations, at regular intervals. There have been some articles, studies done on SIP or other ways yielding results, one can look at them to see the differences, if there are any.
SIP in stocks is different, one can look at business, valuation, chart and take decisions, which need not be at regular intervals. Even, if one wants to build a position in a stock, it need not be at regular intervals, there are many ways to do it depending upon a lot of things, say market falls in a particular week, and the stock falls by 10% in the same period, and this could be an buying opportunity. Many ways to do this.
Mrs Bectors Food Specialities: Can it beat the industry? (08-10-2023)
I believe company is good and follow cookie cutter model. They can replicate established model of production and distribution to many cities. After last quarter result stock price popped up and stays at around same price. It happens, when company report good numbers but stock price do not react to earning to fill valuation gap. It happens to me in Syrma SGS Technologies. Two quarters good numbers but stock price stay at same. However which 3rd result it just blast. We need to be patience with these types of good, high growth, small companies where growth highway is big.

Semiconductor world – CPU/GPU Wars (08-10-2023)
Intel asset fire sale continues. Only fab is the end goal (IMHO). At this rate, they might have planned spinning off design team too.
They are going to IPO altera… they acquired it in 2016.
IDFC First Bank Limited (08-10-2023)
To drive share price, valuation pays equal part as growth. I have sold my RBL bank in 2018 at 5 times book value. So valuation still have scope to increase with consistency in reported earning and increase in RoE. Though none of the private bank is trading at 5 times book now, we do not know valuation given to banks will increase or collapse? If both shows increasing trend, valuation will increase and vice versa.

Lemon Tree Hotels – Market leader in mid-priced hotel sector (08-10-2023)
As it was mentioned in concall, last quarter company did not increase price, focused on occupancy. Upcoming two quarters I believe they will increase price due to events and short supply with already increased occupancy rate. Looks disposable income is rapidly rising and people are spending on higher ticket spending such as occupying branded hotels, travel, buying luxury goods.
