On 24 June 2021, Mr. Mukesh Ambani made a grand announcement
[5]
that Reliance Industries will invest 75,000 crores in the next 3 years
[10]
into the green energy space.
[12]
Tata Power is considering IPO for its renewable energy arm.
[15]
And for the first time since the Paris agreement came into effect
[18]
investments in the renewable projects have overshadowed
[21]
the traditional fuel powered projects.
[24]
And not just that
[26]
We have leaders from all across the world including
[29]
President Biden and our Prime Minister Modi Ji
[31]
who have already set very ambitious targets to shift to renewable energy.
[36]
And to get to net zero emissions in the next few decades.
[41]
If you haven't realized it yet,
[42]
we are witnessing the rise of another technological revolution in the form of
[47]
green energy revolution.
[49]
And just like any other revolution in its initial stages, this is going to open up
[53]
a huge scope of opportunities for both, entrepreneurs and investors.
[57]
So, if you're someone who wants to participate in this revolution
[60]
as an investor or as an entrepreneur
[62]
then this episode is for you.
[65]
Because by the end of this episode you will have 2 incredible superpowers.
[69]
From an investor's standpoint, you will learn about a powerful framework using which
[74]
you can spot the hidden gems of the stock market
[77]
which 99% of the people fail to see.
[81]
And from a startup standpoint, you will learn about
[84]
what exactly is happening is the green energy sector
[87]
and what kind of business opportunities or threat
[90]
do you have to look out for
[91]
while you participate in the green energy revolution.
[98]
This is a story that dates back to 24 January 1848, California
[102]
when a carpenter called James Marshall noticed some shiny flakes in the channel bed
[107]
while he was building a mill.
[109]
After a bit of examination, he realized
[111]
that those shiny flakes were nothing but the finest quality of gold
[115]
which was at least 23 Karat.
[118]
But when he informed the owner of the mill,
[120]
the owner assumed it to be just some pieces of gold lying around here and there.
[124]
And was more concerned about the completion of the mill.
[128]
But meanwhile
[129]
he gave the workers the permission to dig for gold during free time.
[133]
But you know what guys?
[134]
Little did he know that what his carpenter had found were not just a few pieces of gold
[140]
but a freakin' gold mine with more than 340 tonnes of gold!
[144]
And when the workers realized this, they went rogue
[147]
left all their work and started digging for gold
[149]
as the news of this gold spread like wild fire.
[153]
And what followed next was nothing short of madness.
[157]
The same California, which was once a rural place
[160]
had more than 300,000 people rushing in to dig for gold
[165]
making it one of the largest migrations in the American history.
[169]
People from all across the country, in fact, all across the world
[173]
left everything they had, including doctors, engineers and lawyers
[176]
and bought horses to go look for gold.
[179]
And this gold rush, ladies and gentlemen,
[181]
lasted for about 7 years and during these 7 years
[184]
there were several groups of miners who succeded and many failed.
[188]
The rush was so bad
[190]
that several men died because their horses fell down from the hill
[193]
because they were over loaded with gold.
[195]
While many others died in accidents
[197]
and some even got murdered in their fight for gold.
[201]
But inspite of that, during this gold rush, there were hundreds of people who got rich.
[206]
Now, if I asked you who exactly got rich in the California gold rush
[210]
what would your answer be?
[212]
Who else? Obviously, the successful gold miners right. The ones
[216]
who walked away with a ton of gold
[218]
or the workers who first discovered the gold mine, isn't it?
[222]
Well, not really?
[223]
The real winners who got rich during the gold rush were this special group of people
[228]
who never went to the gold mine.
[229]
In fact, they never got a single piece of gold from the gold mine.
[233]
Then the question is- How did these people get rich?
[237]
As it turns out guys,
[239]
This group of people that I'm talking about
[240]
were the entrepreneurs who instead of going for the gold mine
[244]
build businesses that would cater to the gold miners.
[248]
Because when the gold miners flocked towards California
[251]
these people realized that the demand for certain materials would skyrocket
[256]
and would create a business opportunity for them.
[259]
So, you know what?
[260]
Instead of going for the gold mine
[262]
these people sold shovels and horses to the gold miners.
[265]
Cherry on the cake,
[267]
they sold these items at an extravagant price of as much as
[272]
50 times the original price.
[274]
WHY?
[275]
Because the demand was too high
[277]
and a man would not think twice to pay more for a shovel that's going to give him gold, right?
[283]
Guess what?
[285]
This gave rise to some of the most succesful companies in America
[289]
that had nothing to do with the gold mine
[292]
but merely cater to the requirements of the gold miners.
[296]
For example, in 1853, that is 5 years after the gold rush began
[301]
a German-American businessman understood
[303]
that although there were a lot of horse vendors
[305]
there wasn't a garment maker who could make
[308]
rugged garments specifically for the miners.
[311]
So, he started making rugged pants for the miners
[314]
and this man was none other than Levi Strauss.
[318]
And the rugged garment that he designed
[320]
was the jeans pant which then went on to redefine American fashion forever.
[326]
Another New York butcher decided one day to walk to California
[329]
eventually, he opened up a meat market
[332]
to serve food to the hungry miners.
[334]
And later, he took the profits to Milwaukee to set up a meat processing plant.
[339]
This man was none other than Philip Armour
[342]
and the company that he founded was the Armour meat packaging company
[347]
that went on to become one of America's largest meat packaging firms.
[351]
You see these two gentlemen?
[353]
They looked at the unsettled atmosphere of California
[355]
and started a company to offer what miners desparately wanted and that was stability.
[361]
So, they offered secure and honest banking, transportation and even mail delivery service.
[366]
These two men were none other than Henry Wells and William Fargo and their company
[371]
Wells Fargo became a Fortune 500 company worth 19 billion dollars as of 2019.
[378]
Now, my question to you is
[379]
What is the business lesson that you learnt from this story?
[383]
If you take a step back, you will realize
[385]
that when the gold rush happened, while everybody had their eyes on the gold
[388]
and thought that the miners would become successful.
[392]
the actual winners were the ones who actually built the supply chain for the miners.
[397]
And regardless of who got the gold and who did not
[400]
these entities of the supply chain won, by default.
[404]
This is what you call
[405]
'second order thinking' or in the stock market world
[409]
when you invest into such companies, it's called pick and shovel strategy
[413]
that while everybody has this herd mentality
[415]
and goes towards a supposedly lucrative opportunity.
[419]
Some people take a step back and look at the repurcussions of the herd mentality
[423]
and find opportunities
[425]
which will be created due to the existence of the herd mentality.
[430]
And this is what happens everytime in the stock market and the business world.
[435]
And surprisingly
[436]
every time the gold rush happens, majority of the people end up going for the gold.
[441]
And this is coming from the legend Warren Buffet himself that
[445]
when the automobile revolution started, the rush was so bad
[448]
that in the early 1900s there were about 2000 car companies in America.
[453]
But by the end of the century there were only 3 companies left.
[457]
But during this time, who do you think made money
[460]
regardless of the success and failure of these automobile companies.
[464]
They were the spare part manufacturers
[467]
the companies that build factories for these companies and most importantly
[471]
the oil companies who did not manufacture a single car during the automobile revolution.
[477]
So, if this is very very clear to you
[480]
let's have a look at the evolution of the green energy industry.
[483]
and see how you could be a strategic investor or an entrepreneur
[487]
during this upcoming gold rush.
[489]
Now, there are 3 super strong forces
[491]
that are going to catalyse the rise of green energy companies in the world.
[495]
Number one,
[496]
President Biden has set an ambitious goal to create a carbon-free power sector by 2035.
[502]
And net zero emission economy by no later than 2050.
[507]
Number two, in India, our Prime Minister has announced
[510]
our renewable energy target to be
[512]
450 GW by 2030.
[515]
But as of February 2021,
[517]
the installed renewable energy capacity of India stands at only 94.3 GW.
[523]
And among that 450 GW target
[526]
about 280 GW is expected to come from solar.
[529]
And lastly, as a result of these conducive political conditions
[533]
we've got giant companies rising up
[536]
like Reliance, like Tata Power and Adani Green.
[540]
Now, let's talk about the most important part of the video, that is,
[543]
what is the framework that you are supposed to use
[546]
to build your business or
[548]
to look for the hidden gems in the stock market.
[551]
Step 1, read through the news
[554]
and if you're choosing a particular sector, look for every single emerging player in the market.
[560]
And if you find it too tedious to go through the Internet and look for the headlines
[563]
I would highly recommend you to use our knowledge partners- Smallcase website for doing your research.
[569]
All you have to do is choose which sector you want to know the news about. For example
[573]
in this case if you want to know
[575]
all the major updates about the EV sector.
[578]
All you have to do is go to the news section of the EV sector smallcase
[582]
and all the major headlines have been stated in that news section.
[586]
And not just that. The best thing is that
[589]
the impact on the stock after the news came out has also been stated
[593]
which makes it very very insightful.
[596]
So, this way you can even spot the negative effect on the market
[599]
which is, perhaps the most fantastic things about this website.
[603]
Step 2, when you go through this news
[606]
identify the major classifications of the players in that particular industry.
[611]
In case of green energy
[612]
you've roughly go 4 types of players and this is where
[615]
if you want to build a company, you can look to contribute to the value chain of
[619]
either one of these players.
[621]
The first type of companies are the ones
[624]
that will be the forefront players who will
[626]
transition from non-renewable energy to renewable energy.
[630]
For example, for this type, we've got Toyota and Volvo
[633]
who plan to shift to renewable energy completely in the next few decades.
[638]
The second type of companies will be the companies that will support these companies
[642]
using their infrastructure or their finances.
[645]
And here's where we have companies like Panasonic who has now entered
[648]
into a partnership with Toyota to make batteries.
[652]
And it China you've got the EV manufacturer BYD who has also partnered with Toyota
[657]
to design EV batteries in China.
[660]
And this type also includes the banks that are supporting these companies.
[664]
The third type of companies will be the ones who will be the essential entities of the supply chain
[669]
of companies like BYD and Panasonic. For example,
[672]
With the rise of demand of solar energy
[675]
we might see several small and medium scale companies
[678]
that are a part of the value chain of the solar industry like
[682]
the solar cell manufacturer or the solar glass manufacturer.
[686]
And these two types, that is, the second type and the thrid type are the companies
[690]
that are the shovel sellers in the green energy industry and here's where
[694]
you will find the hidden gems of the stock market.
[698]
And the last type are the companies that are building end to end supply chain.
[703]
For example, Reliance is planning to build 4 giga factories to manufacture and integrate
[708]
all critical components of the new energy ecosystem
[711]
with the ambition of making an end to end system.
[715]
With that we move on to the third step, that is,
[717]
based on the insights that you've gathered
[719]
you can then choose to diversify your investments into all these 4 types of players
[724]
depending on your risk appetite.
[726]
But if you're someone who's too busy or still in the learning phase
[730]
you can opt in for a smallcase from that particular sector.
[733]
And you know what is the best thing I found about them, guys?
[737]
Smallcase investors, specifically for the green Energy Portfolio
[740]
use the second order thinking approach
[743]
to diversify your investments into the categories that I just mentioned.
[748]
So, while the world rushes to get the gold mine
[751]
your investments will be strategically invested into the shovel sellers
[754]
at the right time, just so that
[757]
you can get the best returns possible.
[760]
So, if you love their idea, use the link below to download the Smallcase app
[764]
and even if you don't want to make investments
[766]
just download the app and keep an eye on the news section because that itself
[770]
is enough to give you some extraordinary insights about the market.
[774]
With that we move onto step 4.
[776]
After you've invested your money into a selected bunch of companies
[780]
regardless of how you've done it, whether you've done it through smallcase
[784]
whether you've gone through an FA or by yourself
[787]
do not sit back and get complacent.
[790]
Keep an eye on what's happening in the market
[792]
and read every single news headline that appears in the news section.
[796]
and constantly keep an eye on how the tragectory of the industry is shaping up.
[800]
This way, you will know where exactly your money is going
[803]
why is it being invested in a particular company and most importantly
[807]
what are the risks involved in a particular sector.
[810]
In case of green energy
[812]
you've got low margins, rising interest rates or it could be
[815]
a change of government in India or in the US
[817]
or a calamity like the pandemic which could slow down the growth of the companies
[822]
in this particular sector.
[824]
And always remember guys
[826]
regardless of how much money you make
[828]
if you don't know where your money is going
[830]
your money will be gone in no time.
[833]
And before I say goodbye, I just wanna tell you one thing
[836]
keep an eye on Ola Electric and read this book called 'The Third Industrial Revolution'
[841]
WHY?
[842]
I'll tell you that in sometime.
[844]
That's all from my side for today guys. If you learnt something valuable
