2021 Could be for This Stock What 2004 Was for Titan

The world was barely recovering from a pandemic.

Indian stock market had seen one of the worst corrections just a few months back. The BSE Sensex had been hammered by more than 20%.

Bad loans of the banking sector were just coming off the peak ratio of 9%.

Most corporates were gasping for breath. Many had been referred to the Insolvency Board (BIFR).

The year was 2004.

The coronavirus was SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome).

It took grit, determination, and discipline for a long-term investor to invest in Indian stock markets even back in 2004.

The macro environment as challenging as it is today. Even the best businesses seemed to be in distress.

A particularly well known, trusted and well managed consumer durable company was bogged down by debt. Its debt to equity ratio (of almost 3.5x) made its return on capital of 9% look measly.

But one particular segment of the business had the potential to explode.

And explode it did!

With profits soaring, over the next five years, the company became debt free. Its return on capital multiplied to 34%.

After that there was no looking back.

The stock of Titan gained over 350% in six years after I first recommended it to StockSelect subscribers in January 2005.

So, every lakh turned into Rs 4.5 lakh.

Holding on to the stock till date would have fetched Rs 1.4 crores!

And there is more to it.

You did not even need a big sum to accumulate these crores. Even a tiny investment of Rs 1,000 per month in the stock of Titan, since 2002, would have led to mouth watering results.

Take a look at how the power of compounding has gone wild here...

It's possible to accumulate a few crores by investing small amounts in good businesses. Especially when the business is in distress and comes with margin of safety in valuations.

Like the stock in my latest special report - First Stock to Potentially Rs 7 Crore Long-term Wealth.

Business headwinds and macro and regulatory issues have kept the stock out of favour in most of 2020.

Given its pedigree, balance sheet strength and cash flows, the stock has a very high chance of rerating once the temporary clouds of uncertainty disperse.

In fact, I believe that 2021 could be for this stock what 2004 was for Titan.

Of course, the broader markets may be volatile. So, the plan to increase exposure to the stock may have to be staggered.

But I recommend conceding a few battles to win the war.

What excites me about this business is its ability to bounce back from the temporary crisis.

More importantly, the stock could be among those to create immense wealth for its long-term investors.

Meanwhile, I am putting down the exact blueprint to accumulate several crores in safe long-term wealth, in a guide - Eight Steps to Your Eight Figure Fortune.

You will hear more from me about this stock soon.

I will talk about the guide as well as the stock in detail at the Great Indian Wealth Project special online event later today at 5 pm.

I will also show you, how to potentially accumulate Rs 7 crore in wealth over the long-term.

And there is a lot more I'll cover.

I'm excited to talk about this huge wealth creating opportunity and by the number people who have already booked their seats for the event, I can tell my readers are too.

In fact, I'm expecting an attendance of more than 10,000!

I hope to see you online at 5 pm today.

Book you free seat here.
