Dear Readers,
Apologies for being AWOL. It’s been a combination of finding valuations expensive + being busy with our day jobs.
Today we write to you with a performance update on stocks we wrote about. On average we got a 67% return with a 7-month holding period if we equally bought all the stocks.
Our risk was fairly managed with a good balance between safer deep value companies, combined with our listed startups and special situations. As shared before the goal of this blog is to document our research on interesting companies we come across and not buy/sell recommendations. We do not sell any financial products and don’t aim to in the near future.
Our plans for 9A1:
1. Two interesting posts every month on the 1st and the 15th.
2. Making a private Smallcase equivalent (to launch soon) to track our performance.
3. Adding our 3rd member Raghav Ruia.
