In this country, it is very important to identify profit pools, whether you want to be a shark in a pond or a fish in the ocean and we are going to see profit pool of many sectors moving from a pond to a semi-ocean and that is where identifying some of them early, even if they have looked for a sector, for a company to be 10x in the market cap, you will always be wondered by the first 2x or 3x. But do not miss that next 3x because that happens from a size, that happens from an allocation, ?hat is why it is very important to understand how much time you spend in the market rather than thinking how do you try to time the market.
