Overview !
Q1 FY25 was an existing quarter where the Election 2024 was the centre stage… The entire months of Apr and May were subdued surprisingly ahead of the Election results and after the market was satisfied that the reduced mandate was good enough to run the government for the next 5 years the rally resumed post the results somewhat to end the quarter right at the big number of 24000.
The period Q1 FY25 also coincided with previous 4 quarters being in green and net net since Jan 2023 in 18 months markets have traversed a distance of nearly 7000 points on a base of 17000 which is close to 40%. This kind of a large cap move is not a regular affair and the last time we had such a move in 2021-22 it was followed by a lull of a year. This time around the expectations are very high and the Budget of the new government and the quarterly numbers will drive the sentiments here forward.
India remains the fastest growing large economy in the world and the markets are front running that reality ahead of times. The major global events on the horizon remain the interest rate changes in the US, the US presidential elections, and any geopolitical moves in Russia or Taiwan.
Nifty gained over 7.5 % this quarter and the surprise was the big move in the Nifty next 50 stocks at 18% ! Small Cap 250 and Midcap400 index also did well at 19.4% and 18% respectively.
For Q1FY25 within Weekendinvesting strategies notably, Mi20 gained 27.6%, HNI CC at 25.9% and Mi35 and Mi NNF 10 at 23.6% each
Our belief in the concept of BBC (Bhav Bhagwan Che), a Gujarati saying which means that “Price is God” helps us follow the markets in a non-discretionary manner and we allow the markets to do the talking. This has been our sole mantra in the last 8+ years that we have been offering these services to tens of thousands of Weekendinvestors. Our 100% non-discretionary approach at times can lag the markets when markets make trend changes but over time, we have seen this perform much better than many other styles of investing. The historical CAGR returns experienced by clients and the resulting thousands of testimonials are proof to this claim.
The forecast for next few quarters as it stands today is that of continued optimism given the political and economic strong position and the potential of the culmination of hiking interest rates.
At Weekendinvesting, we will continue to walk our established chosen path of following our strategies to the Tee. All our strategies have a self-healing and self-correcting approach and will come around strongly after any drawdown period that we may face. The whole setup is like a high probability winning machine provided you give the strategies adequate time to heal if the market undergoes some damage.

– Our new daily newsletter has been upgraded and it goes out to more than 30000 audience and we have a good engagement with our audience there.
– We have in this quarter started content delivery through YouTube and other channels also to meet our target to educate youngsters on the importance of saving, investing and having a planned approach.
– Many new things are planned for the next quarter and we will unveil them in times to come.
We strongly believe in the long-term India story and we believe that momentum strategies will continue to do very well in this India scenario of continuity of growth and liquidity flows. All we need to do is to ensure that we are riding the winners when it is favorable to us and defending our position when it isn’t. The key to success here is discipline and sticking to the proven strategy.
