Nifty gave 5% while portfolio gave 3.63%. While before year 2020, this portfolio was almost 0% CAGR. You know just 1 year rally in reliance ( recent one) was enough to cover the gap. Probably we will attribute this to Luck this time.

Yes.
A person with zero time to research, no clue about the stocks name or what its business is about. He/She just makes a new year resolution to invest 3 Lakh into top 3 stocks by picking date as January 1st of every year…has actually beaten an actively managed index fund. Funny and hurtful. Its like that back-bencher beats the topper without even touching book. ouch.
so far, You have spend more time reading this article than the IDIOT strategy demands.
Every 3 Lakh invested when held until august 2020 is…shown below
Lets me break down individual CAGR returns. Check out how 2017 gave 31% CAGR. Literally doubled money since 2017.
Too much concentration in one stock.
Do notice how Reliance took 10 Lakh out of 36 Lakhs invested. And reliance was an under performer until year 2017! You are lucky that reliance industries did the right thing by 2020. This single stock could make or break your portfolio for good or bad.
But then ofcourse, if not Ambani then who? is an unsolved question.
Secondly, Even though TCS is higher than Infosys in market cap.
Infosys got 6 Lakhs out of 36 Lakhs that you invested.
Thirdly, icicibank and HDFCbank concentration.
However The IDIOT missed YesBank, DHFL, Rcom and many such dubious (in hindsight) companies.
For a person who plans all his 20 year Home Loan EMI, retirement Planning etc based on his salary is already volunteering for single source of income. This is also an concentration risk. Remember, that company can remove you with 30 days notice period.
We should be happy that IDIOT is atleast ending up with strong companies will be for sure around for next 2-3 decades. I can see you are not thinking alot. Probably this approach worked in past 12 years. Might not work in next 10 years. Ofcourse you are right. IDIOT missed BajajFinance and so many other great companies.
The IDIOT wins when all this active fund managed cannot beat NIFTY by substantial margin while a 0 time, 0 research trick gets the job done.
Investing is not a rocket science. It is a check-list to be followed with discipline.
