The owner of the investment company Basant Maheshwari Wealth Advisers LLP and the author of the well-known value investing book “Thoughtful Investor”
In a Marwadi commercial family in Kolkata, Basant was born. When Basant was a child, his uncle, a broker at the Calcutta Stock Exchange, would take him to the exchange.
He developed an early interest in the stock market as a result of this exposure.
He met several close pals in college who were quite interested in stocks. To check the stock markets, Basant and his friends would frequently skip class.
He joined the family firm after completing his education, and his father granted him a salary that he used to buy stocks on the first of each month.
He had lost all of his investments in the 2000 crisis. ‘One Up on Wall Street’ was unintentionally introduced to him. He experienced an awakening as a result of this book on stock picking. After that, Basant started reading about investing on a regular basis.
In 2001, he returned to the stock market with more knowledge, and he never looked back.
Investing tips from Basant Maheshwari
Buy stocks with a return on equity (above 30%) that pay regular dividends.
Invest in companies with high sales growth that is 25-30% sales growth for 5-6 years is less likely to be loss-making propositions.
Never buy a stock which is not a sector leader.
Buy stocks that are trading at a market price/face value of more than 100.
Companies with debt can also be good if the debt growth is significantly lesser than sales growth.
