Across most of my recommendations, I am the classic Ben Graham BUY and SELL guy.
For us Grahmians, the intrinsic value of a company is mostly static. It does not grow with time.
So, we buy a stock whose intrinsic value we figure out to be Rs 100 at a discount of 35%-40% and then sell as soon as the stock reaches intrinsic value.
Put differently, buying at Rs 60 to Rs 65 and selling when the price reaches Rs 100.
We are usually happy with our gains and once we book our profits, we move on to other stocks with similar characteristics.
I like to call the money made from such stocks as the more CERTAIN money.
As long as the fundamentals of the company are expected to remain sound, your returns are more or less certain.
However, CERTAIN money usually does not go hand in hand with BIG money.

India Rushes to Prepare for a 2-Front War
A 2-front war is here.
China and Pakistan seem to be acting in sync... when it comes to attacking India.
Both countries have increased their military activity in the border region like never before.
And that's exactly what India is rushing to prepare for.
In fact, the Indian government has already allocated Rs 90,048 crores for 2020-21 itself.
Plus, an additional Rs 4 lakh crore would be spent over next 5-7 years.
This money will secure our borders. And...it will potentially trigger a mega growth opportunity for a select few Indian defence companies.
With this flood of money flowing their way... their stock prices could potentially shoot up to record highs in the coming years.
You can learn everything about this massive opportunity tomorrow at our Explosive Profits Summit.
At this summit, you will also get the details of what we believe is India #1 defence stock pick.
It's a potential 10x opportunity in the long term.

It is difficult if not impossible, to make both CERTAIN money as well as BIG money on the same stock using the Graham philosophy.
In order to make the BIG money, you need a different strategy.
The really big gains i.e. 500%, 1,000% or even 2,000% are made when you buy like Ben Graham and sell like Jim Rogers.
Wait, did I say Jim Rogers?
Yes, I did.
The following story will tell you why.
The story dates back to the year 1967.
It was the initial days of the famous Arab-Israeli war. The Arabs, led by Egyptians, were fighting with a lot of Russia made weapons while the US was a strong ally of Israel.
The first few days of the war left Jim Rogers baffled. He was surprised by how the Egyptian air force was shooting Israeli jets out of the sky.
On learning that Egyptians had deployed advanced electronic warfare equipment received from the Soviets, he immediately hopped onto a plane and started visiting US defence contractors.

Lockheed, a company flirting with bankruptcy caught his attention. The troubled company had an advanced projects division that had come up with just the kind of sophisticated weaponry that the US needed to close the gap with the Russians.
Rogers investigated other companies like Northrop and then made his next big discovery in the US capital of Washington.
He discovered that even the Doves in the congress - the so-called peace makers - were in favour of the US Government spending on advanced electronic warfare.
Popular opinion at the time was that the US defense spending would be curtailed due to the end of Vietnam war and that defense firms were not on a solid ground. Therefore, there weren't many takers for defense stocks.
However, Rogers' meticulous research suggested otherwise. He was aware of big, fat contracts of defense companies that if renewed, could provide new earnings to these companies.
He was also aware of the changing nature of the modern battlefield. Rogers was convinced that a lot of the incremental US defense spending would fall in the laps of companies like Lockheed to help it achieve superiority over the Russians.
Thus, this high priority insight convinced Rogers and his partner to go big on defense stocks and which is exactly what they did.
It was a classic BUY at Ben Graham prices manoeuvre where the valuations were depressed but the upside was not Rs 60 going to Rs 100.
The upside was Rs 60 going to Rs 600 or even Rs 1,000.
Guess how well did Lockheed perform over the next 8-10 years?
Well, it blew even the most optimistic projections out of the water. Lockheed went up a hundred times over the next few years.

It is a classic case study on what happens when a Ben Graham bottom up approach is mixed with a high probability top-down insight that Rogers was able to zero in on.
Are there any such opportunities in India currently?
Well, you have to look no further than my colleague Tanushree and her high probability insight on India's defense sector.
Yes, the same sector that landed Jim Rogers a huge 100-bagger.
Please note Tanushree is in no way implying that India is going to war anytime soon.
However, the truth remains that we have two increasingly belligerent neighbours breathing down our necks. We thus need to spruce up our defense capabilities to teach them a strong lesson should the need arise.
And this means no longer relying heavily on arms imports.
Tanushree believes that India's decision to ban imports of foreign weapons will lead to billions of dollars flowing to Indian companies.
In fact, she won't be surprised if few years from now, India boasts of its own home-grown Lockheed or even Boeing for that matter.
The opportunity is huge. We are talking of numbers of the size of 4 lakh crores over the next 5-7 years itself.
Tanushree believes that a handful of companies could reap solid profits from this opportunity and could see their stock prices rise exponentially.
Thus, even stocks that had more or less a static valuation of a few billion rupees could witness their earnings and therefore, valuations jump manifold due to the fresh defense earnings stream.
