Should I Regret or Should I Learn? My Love Story with the Stock

I bought my first stock on 13 Oct 2008, at the age of 24 years. My journey starts from one stock to another stock, but whenever I invest I always look for long term prospect of my investment. I don’t have any analytical skill or any business skill. That time I have zero knowledge about financial analysis of company, in nutshell I was zero…

But, I start my investment, like a new business for me. I was not bothered about the price and value. I invest only on my common sense and the business I know little bit about it.

Two days back, I was searching my old documents, which I did every year, in the old documents I found old contract notes of my investments, in which I found few great things, that’s the main purpose of writing and sharing this post with all of you…..

The date was 5 May 2010, I bought few stock of one of the well know company, at the price of Rs 234.61 with brokerage, service tax and all other cost include, It cost me around Rs 235 per share, and sold it on 15 Nov 2011 at the rate of Rs 303 per share, book profit of 29% within a span of 6 months, I feel great, but I sold it to do the down payment for my new flat, these are the my real reason, and excuses.

The story is over for the stock, I never go back and invest In that stock, I fell happy in my new flats….

But on 24th January 2019, the contract note tell me different story, let’s dig dip…

As on 26th January 2019 the same stock trading at Rs. 1757 per share.

Here is the contract note of my buying at Rs 235 per share.

Look at the today’s story….  

Buy 5/5/2010 Sold 15/11/2010 Today’s Price
235 303 1757
29% Profit 648%
Buy Price Today’s Price XIRR
235 1757 25.90%
Include Dividend Rs 126/Share till Date
Buy Price Today’s Price XIRR
235 1757 28.82%

I book 29% profit in just six month, but if I not sold this stock, and hold it till date, I can generate 648% return. If I calculate the XIRR it is 25.90% without dividend and 28.82% with dividend. If I hold this stock over the next 22 years, it will be in crores of rupees.

So, long story short.. I lose crores of rupees, just not holding this stock.. and it’s a very expensive mistake I done……!

In the above story, you see the performance of the stock… What about business performance? …. Let’s see…..

It’s a consistent business in a well-established sector. Sales CAGR growth over the 8 years is 8.86%, Operating profit margin is 12% to 20%, it’s not a fluctuating business, and the company does not compromise on margin to boost sales, it’s a regular dividend paying company. Its products are market leaders in the segments. Pays tax on a regular basis. Net profit margin is in between 12% to 15%. It’s a debt-free company.

Over The 8 Year Period
From 2010 to 2018
Net Profit 33043 Cr
CFO 33574 Cr
Capex 5095 Cr
FCF 28479 Cr

In short I lost a GEM…..!

So, the big question is Should I Regret or Should I Learn?

Why I will Never Regret?

  1. I started with nothing, so why regret?  
  2. It’s a decision I make it for buying a Home,
  3. Buying a home was my first requirement  
  4. Decision matters… result may vary
  5. If I don’t learn, then it’s an expensive mistake

My Learning’s….!

  1. I contradict with my thesis, of not holding for long term.
  2. I Disturb Compounding.
  3. Avoid Business Performance, it’s an expensive mistake.
  4. No control over greed to book profits.
  5. Read great book on behavioural economics to control my emotions.
  6. Reading & Learning need to be a part of my life.
  7. Opportunity come and go, but learning’s remain forever
