THE RICH INVENT MONEY – RICH DAD POOR DAD

Often in the real world, it’s not the smart who get ahead, but the bold.

Our financial geniuses require both financial knowledge as well as courage to build wealth. If our fear is so strong then our geniuses also do not work. So that we have to be bold, have to take a calculated risk. We need to convert our fear into power. When our mind is emotionally unstable then we cannot make a wise decision and also, we invite situations which are harmful to us only.

Many of us waiting for the opportunity but we should create an opportunity to get out of the rat race. This thing requires financial intelligence.

We have to understand that money is not real, the important is our mind. If we train it well, then we can defiantly create an enormous fortune.

We can use many available opportunities or can create an opportunity for inventing money. Many of the people save money and invest in the assets from where they get safer interest. But this interest is being taxed. This is a safer option but not a smart option. We have to be financially intelligent to think and make all such wise decisions.

The problem with “secure” investments is that they are often sanitized, that is, made so safe that the gains are less.

Great opportunities are not seen with our eyes. They are seen with our mind.

Winners do not have a fear of losing in the mind. But losers always have it. This fear stops losers for achieving success.

If we want to become a more professional investor then we need to acquire skills such as –

• Find an opportunity which everyone else missed – we have to focus on the opportunities which all others have missed and work on it.
• Raise money – we need to identify alternatives for raising money except for bank.
• Organize smart people – we need to hire people smarter than us to get advice.

What we know is our greatest wealth and what we do not know is our greatest risk. We need to manage risk, need to learn rather avoid it. More we train our brain; more we acquire knowledge the more we can become opportunistic to acquire more wealth.

10 – ONCE A DARLING, NOW AN EVIL

The tenth part of Series “Once a darling, now an evil”. This series is based on the companies which were once upon a time darling of the market and now, it has wiped out the majority of all those gains. I am trying to put some of the number-crunching facts by which we have identified ongoing issues in the companies and have saved our wealth.

I am starting this part with one of a jewelry company that has an all-time high price of ~Rs.649 in 2013 and now last traded price at Rs.1.05.

In the first instance this company having huge sales and profit growth. This creates a temptation to buy with missing out of the opportunity. But after the series of articles, we know to not get tempted with sales & PAT growth.

So, we go deeper ….

Huge debtor days, Debt/equity increasing so RoE% is due to the higher leverage.

I would like to go further detail of it.

If we look at the common size balance sheet then the majority part of the assets side was other assets that have receivables & inventories. Also, cash getting reduces and borrowings getting higher. Also, when a company growing at a higher rate then what is the need for higher borrowings after using good cash balance?

The company got debt at a lower rate. Curious and that is also at the time of higher interest rate. Also, the company has to pay lower taxes. Wow… lower interest rate and lower taxes.

The company has FCCB which is a more dangerous kind of foreign debt.

Negative CFO in two years and also if we compare cumulative CFO with cumulative PAT then CCFO<CPAT.

The company owns ~39 subsidiaries and associates companies which can be suspicious.

Company has given ~Rs.1400+ cr of loan and advances to subsidiaries companies on interest-free basis and repayment is beyond seven years.

MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS – RICH DAD POOR DAD

We have seen in the previous chapter that many of us working for the others and lastly that would keep us into the financial struggle. We consider many things as an asset such as a car, wristwatch, expensive products, smartphone etc. But does it have the same value when we going for sold?

Though we are doing a job we need to build an asset which has a real value. This act only can help us to become rich.

When we earn during our job, we need to focus on buying an asset rather than spending money on luxury items. Rich spend last on luxury items but poor spend it on first. These luxury items will create an impression of a rich person but actually, we stuck into the more debt trapped. We should focus on not to look rich, but to be rich. We need to understand the difference between looking rich and being rich. Looking rich is easy nowadays and anyone can look rich but being rich is difficult. We have to control our emotions, saved ourselves from social traps, not falling into the debt trap, etc. We need to make an arrangement that our assets earn for us and we buy luxury from that income rather buy it on the credit. Credit help us to fulfil our temptation immediately but using that we cannot put our step forward to being rich.

Poor and middle-class people suggest that rich people should get punished through tax but actually, middle-class people get highly punished through taxes. They try to look rich and buy an asset which does not have real value so that they have to pay a tax when they acquire depreciating assets. And rich people buy appreciating assets which don’t have higher taxation compared to depreciating assets and also earn income from it.

09 – ONCE A DARLING, NOW AN EVIL

The ninth part of Series “Once a darling, now an evil”. This series is based on the companies which were once upon a time darling of the market and now, it has wiped out the majority of all those gains. I am trying to put some of the number-crunching facts by which we have identified ongoing issues in the companies and have saved our wealth.

I am starting this part with one of an India-based Education company which has an all-time high price of ~Rs.1025 in 2008 and now last traded price at Rs.1.20.

On the first instance this company having huge sales and profit growth. This creates a temptation to buy with missing out of the opportunity. But after the series of articles, we know to not get tempted with sales & PAT growth.

So, we go deeper ….

Huge debtor days, declining fixed assets turnover ratio, high RoE% but if we look at Debt/equity then it’s also increasing which tell us that higher RoE% is due to the higher leverage.

I would like to go further detail of it.

If we look at the common size balance sheet then the majority part of the assets side was other assets which have receivables & Cash are most but what others? Also, cash getting reduces and borrowings getting higher. Is this a service company or a finance company where other assets are higher? Also, when a company growing at a higher rate then what is the need of higher borrowings after using good cash balance?

The company got debt on a 2-3% rate. Curious and that is also at the time of higher interest rate.

Company has FCCB which is a more dangerous kind of foreign debt.

We can see that sales growing rapidly but provision for doubtful debts not growing.

The company needs to make provisioning for the doubtful receivables which have two entries – one goes to the income statement and other goes to balance sheet.

On Income statement

When we make a provision for the doubtful debt then increases to the doubtful debt provision goes to the income statement as an expense vice-versa, if decreases into the provision then it will be added to the profit to the income statement.

On Balance sheet

Provision for doubtful debt is getting reduced from the receivables on the assets side of the balance sheet.

So, less provision will boost up your profitability.

Also, when we look at the annual report then the company has made investment worth of ~Rs.70 cr in subsidiaries and from those company generate just ~Rs.24 cr in sales and ~Rs.1 cr in PAT which is just a 1.43% on investment. The company almost doubling investment into the subsidiaries every year.

Also, the company has ~Rs.187 cr worth of contingent liabilities which was ~65% and ~262% of sales and PAT respectively. If this will arise the company’s profitability will be gone for a toss.

The company requires to have a high capital employed for generating high sales growth with negative FCF, this having a better chance to get blow up.
