He had just Rs.35,000 for invest, he invested all his money in a single stock, Punjab Tractors, which went up to 3 times in three years. His Rs.35,000 became Rs.2,10,000. ….
35000 became 3 times so money would be 105000 and not 210000 .
My second question is : It is the success which brought him in limelight but there are many who lost there money holding in one or 2 or even 4-5 companies. We have millions of pages about the BUY & HOLD theory but not even 10 pages when to exit any stock which is far more important . It is like asking Madhuri Dixit about how to be successful . But can anyone become successful just by following those rules. There are thousands of girls who try their luck but only one of them is MD . So there is something more which makes anybody successful . So better write on those things . Regards .

naman it seems you have lost of money in market which makes you write such critical comments, bit its not about holding to forget but investing and tracking about the growth of companies.
not everybody is successful at one go but we all learn from mistakes and thats the key

when to exit a stock guidelines
if its p/e ratio become more than 30 it has less chances to grow
if fundamentals are deteriorating like no sales growth D/E ratio goes on increasing
govt interfers in pricing policy
too many stocks in portfolio
it is a small %in portfolio{unnnecessary monitoring}
profits declining year by year
if it does not have any MOAT
change in business dyanamics and which are permanent
