In equities, independent thinking will help you make money.
What’s hot is already known to the world.
Buying an opportunity when nobody cares about / knows about makes money.
Hardly 1% of the investors do the research. Rest don’t know what’s happening & what’s going to happen.
Knowing the businesses of companies gives you an edge & conviction.
Time after time, independent thinking have made massive money for me & people connected with me.
To name a few, ITC, ONGC, Daawat, Tata Elxsi, P&G, RVNL, IRCTC, Britannia, Tata Motors, etc.
Think. Sharpen your thinking process. Build a knowledge reserve. Read as much as you can. It will help you think better. It will help you see where there’s an opportunity to make money. Eventually, this will help you in the long run as an investor.
It’s your thinking process that makes money in stock market. Not the buying & selling of shares.
