Having followed financial markets in India closely since 2005, I started investing into bluechip companies that made up the NIFTY FIFTY S&P India index. I worked my way up studying low and mid cap companies poised for massive growth seeking greater insights into their corporate practices, quarterly reportings and highly observing their debt to equity ratios as well as healthy cash flows. This strategy allowed me to pick up good companies well ahead of time based on their P/E ratios to their earnings. As the markets collapsed following the Lehman collapse and the housing bubble being burst, I went more aggressive into lower caps believing they would provide a better ROI on investments as compared to their peers. Today the same low caps now have a mid cap capitalization and a better stock value compared to yesteryear's.

I believe markets are cyclical in nature and there is always a time when value recedes and then picks up once the fear is gone. Focusing on macro is my forte as to what policies the reserve banks announce and the impacts they may have on listed entities which always allowed me to invest into better and cheaper stock valuations for those listed companies. As a believer into maintaining a diversified portfolio, I always balance investments into high growth, stable growth and risk growth companies allowing me to invest into banking, auto and the pharma sector respectively. Retail and fast moving consumer goods would always be in my healthy portfolio as well.

Since price action is always seen on multiple chart structures using various time frames, I read those charts well to analyze where my buy entries would be. This allowed me to invest ahead of time eliminating any fomo factor that may have harsh implications on investment strategies.

Overall my focus has always been on greater compounding factors starting from low investments while turning them into mid or large size targets.
