The Dhandho Investor SUMMARY - Chapter 4 Mittal Dhandho
In the 2005 Lakshmi Mittal took the third richest spot. He began his journey same time as Bill Gates. Bill Gates invested in an industry that offers among the highest returns on invested capital. Mittal invested in an industry with terrible economics – steel mills. You have no control over the selling price of finished product and also on the cost of materials. Mittal made it. Mr. Mittal took over a plant in Kazakhstan for nothing and within five years turned it into a thriving business. Also in Romania he applied his secret sauce and run them efficiently. As Mohnish asked his good Marwari friend on how Marwaris approach investing; he replied that they will expect all their invested capital to be returned in the form of dividends in no more than 3 years. Their principle investment continues to be worth at least what they invested in it.
