What Porinju Says About Stocks and Market

Dec 2018:Look at the 52-week highs and today's price, unbelievable? Wait for next Dec and check the 52-week lows and prevailing prices, trust me it would be equally unbelievable. Applies only to non-index, sound stocks

July 2017: Nifty: 5,000 to 10,000 in 10 years, next 5000 points will take only 2.5 years - though not much relevant to stock-pickers

April 2017: Don't take cue from bulk deals, after the move. Look at India-relevant futuristic businesses, not in fancy (in plenty)
