 🙂 Are you yet Alive in these Markets !?  😯 Wish to remain so ?

Interpretation of Financial Statements
Indian Equity ~ (St)Ripping Annual Reports ~ Bullshit or Badass
Full Saturday, August 24, 2019

Limited Seats so do book yours right away here => www.jsalphaa.com/register.php

No prior Financial or fundamental knowledge is required. Just come with an Open Mind dressed with Common sense to realise how uncommon it really is ! At the time of Registration or even later you can even request for a Specific Company you wish who’s Annual Report be (st)ripped at the Workshop 

Here’s a warm testimonial from a participant who flew in from Accra,Ghana for the June 22,2019 workshop on Sensex at 40000 ~ Treasure & Traps where we covered Risk Profiling & Returns ,Scenarios & Scrips,Macros & Mistakes,Treasures & Traps ~ assessing many on Value Vs Price ~ 😀 Yes, the workshop did go on till much later than scheduled close,as is usual….there was so much fun interaction,again as is usual

” It was a privilege to attend your workshop.I gained a lot of wisdom & knowledge.Many thanks & God Bless ” 

& another from a repeat participant ” Many many thanks Gaurav.It was really wonderful.Really appreciate all the efforts and the sharing of your knowledge.It was outstanding ” 

There’s a comprehensive Workshop Template on the Registration link that details out why you should attend & what benefits you can expect to derive

Here are a few extracts from this  Workshop Template that should convince you to be there on Saturday,August 24,2019

It’s been a market meltdown of frightening proportion across the Board, except in a few ,visibly an (un)lucky 13 that constitute high weightage in the Sensex & Nifty that has kept these Indices alive at 38000 & 11000 yet

The ‘Fun’ in  ‘Fun’damental Stock Stories too has vanished with Equity Portfolios showing strong depression in almost all stock selections across sectors & Market Cap segments  

Company Annual Report ~ Can we yet revere it as the Bible or Bhagvad Gita or Quran for Company Performance !?

Never judge a Book by it’s Cover.We’ve seen the Annual Report sabotaged, painted & tainted by sub standard supervision , monitoring & assessment ,intentional or otherwise, by Banks & other Lending Institutions, Statutory & Internal Auditors , Regulators & Credit Rating Agencies. read more

Bulls on & around the Table !…Yup! don’t miss the NYSE Dow & BSE Sensex Bulls on the Table !

Wow! What an engaging Marathon Saturday it was in Mumbai at the Fundamental Equity Value Vs Price Workshop….began at 9.30 am & if the participants had insisted would have also arranged dinner !…am told the raw film is 9 & a half hours !

They rocked!…A great Mix…very intelligent & interactive from novices to veterans of the market….from leading FPIs & Broking Houses & Small & Big Industry to retail investors & even the midcap content contributor to a leading stock portal that’s also a part of a leading stock channel group who presented a case study of his latest idea…they came from Gokak & Dubai & Hyderabad & Cochin & Pune & from across Mumbai…a young yoga guru who we thought had gone into a trance but was actually meditating a stock idea !…and of course our fourth consecutive workshop attendee who we presented with a special memento for this ongoing record !

The sentiments they expressed & which poured in as below post the workshop can easily go to my head !…fortunately God’s blessed me with more heart !  🙂

“Powerful seminar. Valuable talk. Thank you”
“Truly enjoyed… and seeked everything for which I have came… and God bless me to apply  it gainfully 😊”
“Leo’s are known to be great hosts, you are one 👍🏼🙏🏼. All the arrangements were perfect. Please convey our regards to the entire team.”
 “Thank you sir for your knowledge sharing in a very structured manner with us!”
“Sir completely blown by away by amount of knowledge you have .. You really have changed the way at I used to look at market …Thank you for all the ideas n great experience that you have given which I will carry forward …Looking forward to your next workshop n any other venture”
 “Thanks for the great session”
 “Sir, it was a wonderful session, lot of learnings. God bless 🙏🙌😇”

We covered Exercises in Practical Compounding & how to approach Markets seeking at least 20% CAGR in Equity over the coming few years & when to adopt Tactical Strategies & when to leverage through Options using JP Associates as an illustration

The 20 questions(The Workshop Theme was after all 20-20 & 2020 🙂 ) Corporate Tambola began with a quick prize winner…she won ‘Jaldi 3’ with just the first three questions !…but then ‘Full House’ went down to the wire…Sample some of the questions posed  & participants got them to win Chocolates ! Can you?:

“The MD is N Bhuvaneswari,the wife of the current CM of Andhra Pradesh,Mr Chandrababu Naidu & the daughter of late Mr NT Rama Rao the founder of the Telugu Desam Political Party.The Market Cap is under Rs 3000 crs & has been wooed for acquisition by leading MNCs.Name the Company”

“A noble flower in the Swiss Alps getting nobler on BSE & NSE & a classic song from the classic Julie Andrews starrer ‘Sound of Music’”

“Henkel re-entering India through this Company?”   

💡 A thought provoking question posed by a participant ” With falling Interest rates can we shift allocation from Fixed Deposits to Index Investing ?….Nifty 50 has recorded a CAGR of just over 11% from inception 1995 till date while the Sensex has scored a 16% CAGR from base in 1978 but just as much as Nifty in shorter periods…if precedence has to be considered they offer potential of better Returns going forward than FD with arguably not much compromise in risk & that too tax free as of now…that’s another cushion…Worth a thought for at least when pitching against 5 to 10 year FDs & Bonds read more

Saturday Fundamental Equity Workshop ~ Tambola & Time just Flew!

Workshop Photos

It was a wonderful Saturday for all of us ~ a Full House ~Time just Flew!

The Mumbai Equity Workshop on Wealth Destroyers having the Potential to bounce back kicked off at 9.30 am stretched into 7 pm…began with a Tambola or Housie where they had to guess the Wealth Destroying company on the questions posed & strike off the name if it’s there on their Ticket…In fact each pulled out a question & posed it for all…Prizes for Jaldi 3 & Two Full Houses & a question Bank on 25 companies…like “Chor ! Chor!” & they got it ! ~ Kingfisher Airlines ! or Ethopian Counsel yet destroyed his Company  &  promptly the answer shot back “Karuturi”! Chocolates were given for each correct answer too while I spoke a minute or two on each company & how it was destroyed & whether it can revive

Covered Valuation,Sentiment,Momentum & Liquidity…the power of Compounding for Wealth Creation…FPI Flows Impact…Impact of Global & Domestic Economic & Geo-Political Head & Tail winds…the impact of three leading rates~inflation,interest & exchange….how to protect capital while growing it through the discipline of asset allocation & when to adopt tactical strategies & staying true to ones’ risk profile

…& if convinced on Equity & India…showed them why they should be…then should you go for passive index investing through Mutual Funds Schemes & be content with CAGRs of 10% to 15% over the years or should you go directly into Equity for specific selections for potential of higher gains…& why the latter should be your strategy…& why Fundamental rather than Technical Approach…& not to mistake luck for skills in such bullish markets

Tea & Coffee & a variety of Cold Beverages & Biscuits & Wafers were served through the day & we had to switch from a Copper Chimney Lunch Buffet arranged to a Soup,Salads,Sandwich & Desserts Buffet at Pizza By the Bay as the former’s kitchen had grappled with a fire the previous day & was closed on Saturday

Must Thank the Full House with Participants coming in specially from Dubai,Malaysia,Delhi,Cochin & Ichikaranji too…there were a few repeats from earlier workshops in Bangalore & Mumbai ~ take that as a thumbs up!…gratifying that within three to four days days of announcing this workshop end May 2017,it got full…surely Sensex at 31000+ and climbing has something to do with this ! 🙂 read more
