Great insightful article Basant ji. Helped removed a lot of doubts from my mind.

Just to add one more factor in favour of domestic oriented consumer stocks is their immunity from currency fluctuation.
Every day, self-proclaimed stock market "experts" tell us why the market just went up or down, as if they really knew. So where were they yesterday?

Some of these domestic oriented companies, like Dabur, Godrej Consumer and Marico have made acquisitions overseas and thereby have dollar loans. I do not know if this matters so much.
My indecision is final.

Most of the consumer names here have been up by four to twenty times over the last 2 years even while the broad market has done almost nothing!

Taleb would call this a random event and if it is that so be it.


Actually, I consider it more akin to what Buffett calls "The Superinvestors of Graham-and-Doddsville".

India still has a long way to go for power, road etc. but music seems to have completely stopped. Now new theme is consumption, it is still in its infacy will grow young and later die old too so if thats the prognosis then time to run with this baby before it does.
 
Very valid points Manish. I feel the key to identifying these issues is valuations. One should never loose sight of it. Like in both internet and infra boom it was all hypothetical calculation based on future earnings. One has to be cautious when too much of future earnings are built in the price.

as always great post basantji.
manish had made a very good point. i wonder why all of a sudden most of the consumer stocks got rerated.  ( because everyone knows these are evergreen and and not very capital intensive). subu also highlighted the stagnant stock price of TTK etc till 2009. do you think investors realized the potential of consumer stocks because of the recession in 2009?..  i think one cant attribute it to the raising per capital income. because if that were the case, rerating should have happened from early 2000 itself..
