While researching about the stock market, How to make a money in stock market? I came across the lot of strategy to make good portfolio, I went through the portfolio of some of the great investor, But unable to find their strategy , How they pick any stock? Then finally I came across a book called “The Unusual Billionaires ” by Saurabh Mukherjea. He explained the simple but very powerful strategy to make your portfolio bullet proof. The strategy is choose company which

  1. delivered revenue growth by 10% year on year
  2. ROCE of the company should be grater than 15% for each year
  3. and Market capitalization should be grater than 100 cr.

This sounds very simple and you may think that most of the companies would fall under this criteria but the while searching companies I found that this criteria if very difficult to achieve for the companies and only 8 – 10 companies on indian stock exchange fall under this. I took a help of screener.in portal to search companies. I found Cera Sanitaryware fulfills the criteria of coffee can portfolio.
