These Are the Best Long-Term Stocks

Aug 12, 2021

This video should be of interest to investors as well as traders.

I want to tell you what I think is the best kind of stock investments.

I haven't done a sector analysis. Rather, this is about a huge megatrend that is playing out right now.

If the stocks you buy are riding this megatrend, then you stand to profit.

If not, I think it would be a good idea to kick it out of your portfolio.

Watch the video and let me know if you agree.

Hello friends. This is Vijay Bhambwani. I hope you're able to navigate through the ups and downs of the
markets far better with my videos and I hope my videos are adding value to your knowledge.
Now, this video is actually about a phenomenon that I have seen accelerating in the past few quarters,
especially after the lockdown was imposed.

It's resulted in a few tick marks on my mental spreadsheets and it's triggered off a chain reaction of a few
thought processes, which should result in higher profitability for an average investor and trader in the
Indian financial markets.

You see, even before the lockdown was imposed, we were doing a lot of stuff online. We were filing our
tax returns online. We were paying our taxes, bills, and other levees online. We were transferring money
online, but after the lockdown, a whole lot of things went online.

We are able to buy fruits, vegetables, home provisions, buy medicines online, and that too at steep
discounts.

Initially, I thought that there would be a catch somewhere or possibly there would be a marginal decline,
or maybe even a significant decline, in the quality of stuff I would be delivered, which I was buying at a
discount online, whereas the friendly neighbourhood mom and pop store was charging a significant
premium in the lockdown because of his costs going up.

Now, come to think about it, why are popular medical apps able to offer you a 20% discount on a strip of
tablets or a bottle of syrup, or whatever it is that you buy from them? Think about it.
Now when I recorded a video, a recent video, on the RBI opening retail direct gilt accounts for
investors wherein you could buy and sell directly on our bees platform without being any intermediary
charges, it should have struck you.
If you are buying insurance from any insurance company, take for example, Life Insurance Corporation of
India, the largest insurance company in the country, you will instantly connect with what I am saying that
LIC is actually able to charge a lower premium for certain policies that you buy online.

If you were to go through an insurance agent, the same policy would entail a slightly higher premium.

Why? Because the LIC is passing on the agent's commission that it pays to the agent onto the policy
buyer. Now that the middle man has been done out, the same policy can be bought cheaper online.

Similarly, recently, my mother in law wanted to make a fixed income investment, and she was told by her
agent that if she made a direct payment online, she would get a slightly higher rate of interest.

Why? Because they were cutting out the middle man's commission. Now this is why it results in cost
savings on stuff that you buy online but does it necessarily mean that the company, which is selling stuff
at a discount or at a lower price, is earning lesser profits. I don't think so.

I think what is clearly happening and this is something that I know very well as a commodity trader. The
one fact that I have been betting on and saying that crude oil will not cross US$100 a barrel, is the fact
that at higher levels in prices, commodities witness what is known as demand destruction. So higher
prices results in lower consumption.
Similarly, lower prices, on the other hand, trigger consumption and if I'm getting something cheap, believe
me, chances are I might just wind up buying five instead of four. Natural human tendency.

So what is happening is that businesses are getting commoditised. You basically try and sell more at a
lower rate, so the profitability per unit might come down, but the overall profit will go up.

The more and more you're seeing internet penetration are really spread in the country and within two
months you're going to have 5G roll out in the country itself, which means your internet is going to get
faster, penetration is gonna get deeper, and you gonna have a whole lot more Indians going online.

Now what does it have to do with your portfolio? If you're investing in the stock of a company which still
follows 100% pure off line model, which means it's not selling its stuff online, believe me, chances are that
it is at a disadvantage.

Today, even the most cumbersome goods that are being sold, are being sold online. Take a look at a
huge HCV, a heavy commercial vehicle. Aren't the auto companies, also going online and selling you
premium cars, two wheelers, and commercial vehicles online?
They are because they know that missing out on the online platform could result in a severe dent in their
topline, which is in the sales.
When you are choosing the next investment bet that you're making, do make sure that the company
whose stock you're buying, is online, without which it will severely miss out on the younger generation
and even the catching up middle-aged people like me. I am actually 55, so that on the internet domain my
children tell me, I'm a senior citizen.

So even guys like me who are buying online now without as much scepticism as I nursed a few years
ago, the topline or the sales of companies which are going online, are definitely going to result in a higher
price premium on the stock exchange trading floors.

So as a fractional owner of a company, the very concept of a joint stock company whose shares that you
buy, makes you a part owner of the company to the extent of the shares that own, you are a part boss
and part owner of the company, make sure that you boot out the companies which are not online and
stick to the stocks of those companies which have a huge online presence.

Take a look at Bata. Take a look at ITC. Take a look at a whole lot of other companies that are doing
business online, which you thought five or ten years ago as unthinkable.
There was a company in America called America Online. It was an Internet based company and I think
IOL or 'India online' should be the mantra for investors and traders.

For investors and traders on the other side, we talked about the concept of investing in companies that
are online. Let's not talk about the concept of investing from the point of view as a trader or an investor.
You know, when I started trading in 1986, I used to pay 2.5% commission on every crore of transactions,
which means for every crore of buying and selling, I used to pay Rs 2.5 lakh as brokerage commission to
the broker.

Today, thanks to the online model, the broker is able to service millions of clients on cell phones, laptops,
tablets, and desktops. So his cost has come down. What is the brokerage that you're paying? Rs 10 per
lot, Rs 15 per a lot, Rs 20 per a lot? I pay Rs 100 per crore.

Why is this possible? Because business has now gone online. So from Rs 2.5 lakh a crore are now
paying Rs 100 a crore. Where is the remaining money going? In my pocket as savings.

Which is exactly how you're saving by buying medicines online from companies that are giving you a 20%
discount.

So going online is a win-win situation. The future is in online. Which is why Equitymaster is online on this
YouTube channel. Bank on us. Bet on us. We are going to get you there.

bye.
