Decoding Income Statement

I remember this conversation with a friend (who happens to be a graphic designer). The guy had recently finished reading the book “The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel”. He was super pumped about his DIY investing journey. On asking what company he got into, he reveals his first ever stock purchase was V-mart Retail Ltd.
