When it comes to Investing in Stocks there are a lot of factors that need to be considered ROE stands for Return on Equity, ROCE stands for Return on Capital Employed, and many more statistics, and even though these Stats are good to judge the nature and possible returns on any given Stock I look out for another factor which makes me think whether to Invest in a Stock or not.

#### It's the Shareholding Pattern


Just so you know I am not talking about Promoter Holding and any Pledged Holdings as those are Stats almost everyone knows and checks for as those really do matter. But today I will be talking about something else on the Shareholding Pattern

I am talking about the Public Holdings of any Stock. The above Screenshot is from the Shareholding Pattern for BOROSIL RENEWABLES which has given us quite the rally for the 5 years but I have never invested a Single Rupee in this Stock the reason for that is pretty simple. The amount of Public Holdings is way too much for my taste as when the Waters get rough Public Traders are usually the ones getting out of the STock and Selling them quickly which definitely makes a difference.

So I usually prefer Stocks that have a low level of Public Holdings just enough for there to be a free float but not enough for them to Panic Sell and cause a huge dump on any Stock. So yeah this is something I check for in any Stock whenever I am doing some research and trust me when I say this I really look closely for such facts as they do matter.
