Part 5: Process or How the heck do I Invest in Equity Successfully?
5.4 Know when a stock deserves your hard-earned money and forget the rest?
What are necessary and largely sufficient data points to look at to make an informed assessment about a potential opportunity? Can you identify the reasons to eliminate mediocre opportunities and study the good one without wasting time? What will make you better at doing this? How can you know when a stock becomes an opportunity worth looking at in the future?
Ask anybody why they bought something, anything and the most common answer is quality, “Achhi Quality Ka Hai”. I don’t think you are any wiser after such an answer. So, if you are smart you will ask “What did you see in it that convinced you that this is good quality?”. You need to ask the same question when talking about the quality of a stock.
How to assess stock and conclude about its quality? Let us understand this with the help of cricket. There is no doubt about the talents that Sehwag and Dravid had. If you had to select only one, who would you select? There can be much debate around the answer – depends on the other team members, current form, who are we playing against, and is it a T-20 match or a Test match. But what if you had to select between them for a Test match? The answer overwhelmingly would be Dravid. Why?

MoneyWorks4Me method for rating and ranking mutual funds for SIP
MoneyWorks4Me rating and ranking of funds for SIP is available to subscribers only. Moneyworks4Me is not a rating and
ranking agency, however it is required that users have a way of selecting funds and building a Portfolio. The method used by it are described below to enable users to understand the logic behind the rating and ranking Subscriber will find more details on this in the
various content made available from time to time. In case you need more please write to besafe@moneyworks4Me.com
MoneyWorks4Me rates and ranks mutual funds based on the following data-driven system:
Performance Consistency: This is measure based on whether the fund has beaten the benchmark index consistently. For
this we compare the 3-year rolling returns of the fund with the benchmark for a minimum of 5 years and preferable 10
years. The period of rolling is one month and holding period is 3 years. Fund are color-coded Green on Performance when
the fund beats the benchmark more than 90% of the time. It is Orange if it beats 80% to 90% of the time and Red if less
than 80%. Funds with less than 5 year data are color-coded Grey.
Quality of Portfolio Holding: Moneyworks4Me has color-coded stocks as Green, Orange and Red based on whether the
company's performance has generated a ROCE above a threshold level (cost of capital) over 10 years (minimum 6 years) and
generated positive Free Cash Flow. For Banks it checks whether ROE is greater than 15% and sales has grown over previous
year. Stocks that perform consistently on these combined metrics are color-coded Green (min score 14 out of 20), Orange
(between 8 and 14) and Red (less than 8 out of 20).
Fund are color-coded Green provided the portfolio has 70% holding in Green stocks but not more than 20% in Red stocks.
Funds with more than 20% Red stocks in the portfolio are color-coded Red. The rest are Orange funds
Funds ranking in screeners: Performance Consistency and Quality are two parameters used for ranking funds for SIP. The
ranking as follows GG, GO, GR, OG, OO, OR, RG, RO and RR.
With the same color-coded funds, the one with the higher Average 3-year rolling returns (over 5 to 10 years), the number
that appears in the Performance tag, ranks higher.
Here is the summary:
The third tag Upside Potential is not relevant for SIP. It is relevant for lumpsum investments in Mutual Funds.
