What is PB ratio, How to calculate and it's Benifits...

When we buy something, it's important to know its true value and purchase it at the right price. Paying more than its actual value would result in a loss for us.

Today, we'll learn about a ratio called the P/B ratio, which stands for Price to Book Value Ratio.


The "P" in the P/B ratio represents the market value of a company, while the "B" represents the book value of the company. Essentially, the P/B ratio is the ratio of a company's market value to its book value.

To calculate the P/B ratio, we divide the market value by the book value. 

For example, if a company has a market value of Rs 200 and a book value of Rs 100, the P/B ratio would be 2.

In this case:

P/B Ratio = Market Value / Book Value 

 200 / 100 = 2

This means that the market value of the company is twice its book value. 

Therefore, we should consider buying the company for twice its book value.

The application of the P/B ratio is as follows:

If a company's P/B ratio is greater than 1, it means its market value is higher than its book value.

If a company's P/B ratio is less than 1, it means its market value is lower than its book value.

If a company's P/B ratio is less than 1, we may consider buying that company. 

However, most investors prefer to buy good companies, so the market value is usually higher than the book value. Therefore, a good company's P/B ratio is generally greater than 1.

If, for some reason, a good company has a P/B ratio less than 1 (meaning its market value is less than its book value), then we might consider regularly buying and holding that company.

It's important to note that the P/B ratio is just one factor to consider when investing in the stock market. We should not make investment decisions solely based on this ratio...

What is Mutual Fund and How it Works, Definition of Mutual Fund...

A mutual fund is a simple way to invest money. Instead of investing by ourselves, we give our money to a professional called a Fund Manager who knows a lot about investing.  The Fund Manager takes care of our money and tries to make it grow by buying stocks, bonds, gold, and other investments. When we invest in a mutual fund, our money is combined with money from other people who are also investing in the same fund. This reduces the risk because the money is spread out and invested in different places. There are two ways to invest our money in a mutual fund.   One way is to invest a large amount of money all at once.  The other way is to invest a smaller amount regularly, like every month or every week. This is called a systematic investment plan (SIP). Mutual funds are a good option for people who aren't experienced or don't have time to manage their investments. The Fund Manager takes care of everything and tries to make our money grow.

The 80/20 Principle or Pareto principle...

Small things we do can make big changes in our lives. Today, we will learn about a rule that is related to this idea. This rule is called the 80/20 Rule.      According to this rule, 80% of the results come from 20% of the actions.  It was discovered by a person named Vilfredo Federico Damaso Pareto, so it is also known as the Pareto Principle. When he studied the world economy, he found that 20% of the people own 80% of the money in the world.  He also found that 20% of his pea plants make 80% of the peas.   Similarly, 80% of a company's profit comes from 20% of its customers. He saw this pattern in many situations, which led him to create the 80/20 rule or the Pareto principle.  By using this rule correctly, we can achieve success.   For example, let's say we feel very worried and there are 10 problems causing our anxiety.   Out of these, 2 problems (20%) are responsible for 80% of our worry. If we find and solve those 2 problems, most...
