Well, the answers to all the above questions are quite closely related.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before we proceed with the answer, let’s take a look at a real example<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the year 2003, a brand-new Maruti Zen would have set you back by Rs. 3.5 lakhs. Imagine if instead of buying a Maruti Zen car you would have invested the same amount in the IPO<\/a> of Maruti Suzuki India Ltd. the worth of your investment today would be approximately Rs. 2.10 crores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Imagine if you had invested the same amount in 4 other good companies, such as RIL, Infosys, MRF and Eicher Motors<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The total worth of your investment would be worth a whopping Rs. 11,48,63,448. This does not include additional gains made by way of dividends or bonus shares issued if any. If we include that in the above calculation, the total worth of investment would be much higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now let’s take a look at the worst-case scenario. Apart from Maruti if you had also invested in 4 low-quality stocks and all 4 turned out to be duds, eventually becoming penny stocks<\/a> or wiped away even your investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the above table you can see that even in the worst-case scenario where 4-5 of your stocks grossly underperformed, despite losing 80% of your capital invested, one good investment (shares of Maruti) would have still made you very wealthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now let\u2019s focus on the answer to the question:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHow to become rich by investing in stocks?\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
To become rich by investing in stocks, one needs to do two things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Invest in good companies<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
When we talk about investing in good companies<\/a>, how exactly does one choose good companies?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Check the growth potential of the company<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
When it comes to finding good companies to invest, the company’s growth potential is one of the most important factors to consider. Look for companies with consistent growth in factors like revenue, sales, and net profits. Stocks of companies with an annual growth rate of 25-30% can be considered as good stocks to invest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Low or zero debt matters a lot<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
When looking for good stocks to invest, it is vital to find a company with low or zero debt levels. An investor should strictly steer clear of companies with high debt as a significant portion of profits will go towards paying off the interest on the debt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Visionary management<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
A Visionary management with visionary ideas can take a business to the next levels. Leadership is the key driving force which can steer the company towards new levels of growth but also help it survive during difficult times. A detailed look at the management pedigree is one of the best ways to identify good quality stocks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Look for companies with monopoly<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Companies which have a monopoly in their field due to economies of large scale or challenging entry barriers have a competitive advantage over other companies making them suitable candidates to be termed as good quality stocks. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. Increasing return ratios<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
A detailed analysis of return ratios like Return on capital employed (ROCE<\/a>), Return on Equity<\/a> (ROE<\/a>), Price-to-Earnings (P\/E) are essential prerequisites which can help you in identifying good stocks to invest as companies with high and increasing return ratios indicates the efficient allocation of capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Few other questions to keep in mind for identifying stocks of good companies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is the future outlook for the company\u2019s product or services?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you understand the company\u2019s business model?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is the stock available at the right valuation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7. Invest for long term<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Once you have invested in good companies, it is imperative to remain invested for the long term by ignoring the tendency to sell when you see your investment double or triple. Real wealth is created when you stay invested in stocks for the long term<\/a> as the power of compounding<\/a> kicks in, thereby generating phenomenal multibagger returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Key Takeaways<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
Investing in stock<\/a> markets is both thrilling and tempting. Only those investors who can resist the temptation of booking profits on their investments for marginal gains by remaining invested in good quality stocks can create real wealth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
