@Stefan_B_Trades Thank you for not un-subscribing me, had a lot of personal issues with health, finances and my job. I'll do my utmost to be more present! Apologies.
🧵 THREAD: The Secret the Upanishads Reveal About Manifestation (5 Ancient Truths)
Most people think “manifestation” means:
✨ think positive
✨ visualize
✨ wait
But the Upanishads say something far deeper:
👉 Reality doesn’t respond to your wishes
It responds to your state of being.
Here are 5 ancient truths that modern manifestation gurus won’t tell you… 🧵👇
⭕️How to select a stock (fundamental checklist + explanation of each point):
1⃣ Revenue & growth quality (Is growth durable?)
→ Revenue CAGR (5y) > 8–10% (business expansion)
→ Forward revenue growth (next 2y) > (markets price the future, not the past)
→ Organic growth
→ Gross margin stable/expanding (≥ 40% for high-quality businesses, ideally)
→ No cyclical picks unless clearly understood
2⃣ Profitability & capital efficiency (Are returns strong?)
→ Operating margin > 15% (business with edge)
→ Net margin > 10%
→ ROIC > 12–15% (kinda core metric I would say)
→ ROE > 15% (without leverage distortion, make sure to always check it out for not falling into a trap)
→ Stable or improving margins over time
3⃣ Balance sheet & solvency (Can it survive stress?)
→ Debt / Equity < 0.8 (how much the company relies on borrowing?)
→ Net Debt / EBITDA < 2 (how many years it would take to repay the debt?)
→ Interest coverage > 5x (how easily the company can pay interest?)
→ Current ratio > 1.5 (short term liquidity/can the company pay bills in the enxt 12 months?)
→ No refinancing risk in next 2–3 years (we don't want this scenario)
4⃣ Cash flow quality (Is it real money?)
→ FCF margin > 10% (cash left after operating costs + necessary investments)
→ FCF conversion ≥ 80% (how much profits turn into real cash?)
→ Positive FCF for 5+ years (shows business strength)
→ Capex under control (no constant heavy reinvestment just to survive)
→ Share count stable or decreasing (to avoid dilution)
5⃣Valuation vs growth (Am I overpaying?)
→ P/E < 20 (or justified by growth) (How much do I pay for $1 of profit?)
→ EV/EBIT < 15 (Enterprise value/operating profit -> more complete than P/E as it includes debt)
→ Price/FCF < 15–18
→ Compare vs peers, not absolute only (no distortion betwen different industries)
6⃣MOAT & competitive positioning (Why this company?)
→ Market share stable or increasing
→ Pricing power (can raise prices without losing customers)
→ High switching costs or strong brand
→ Industry structure favorable (not hyper-competitive)
→ Clear edge vs competitors
7⃣Management & capital allocation (Who's running it?)
→ ROIC sustained over time
→ Smart use of cash (buybacks at good prices, not peaks)
→ Insider ownership -> alignment (if they own stocks they're incentivized to do well)
→ Clear long-term strategy
8⃣Catalysts (Why now?)
→ New products/expansion markets
→ Margin "explosion" potential
→ Industry "external boosts" (AI, energy, demographics, etc.) -> Make "1+1" in order to find connections
→ Turnaround or inflection point (example: from loss to profitability?)
→ Not just “good company” but time the opportunity (no premium!)
⭕️Bonus: (not so bonus) Simplicity & conviction (Final filter I would say)
→ Can I explain the thesis in 2–3 sentences?
→ Do I understand how it makes money?
→ Is the story consistent across metrics?
→ If it’s complex → position size smaller or skip
@maygodbewit1@Stefan_B_Trades Bro... no one is making anyone do anything, be grateful that there are traders willing to share their expertise and ideas to help people learn. Maybe you should target your comments towards the scammers and shillers that lose their followers constantly.
