Takeaways

  • Investing requires doing the necessary work and research to make informed decisions.

  • Having an edge as an investor can come from your personal experiences and understanding of certain industries or companies.

  • Understanding the companies you invest in and their operations is crucial for making informed investment decisions.

  • Short-term stock success does not always correlate with the success of the underlying company.

  • Knowing what you own and why you own it is essential for successful investing.

  • Long shots in investing are unlikely to succeed, and it is important to be aware of the risks involved.

  • Long shots almost always miss the mark, so it’s important to focus on consistently hitting singles and doubles rather than always swinging for the fences.

  • When owning stocks, it’s crucial to consider position sizing and not get involved with more than you can handle. Owning a concentrated portfolio of 8 to 12 companies can be more effective than diversifying across many companies.

  • Understanding a company’s finances, including its balance sheet, is essential before investing. Key ratios to consider include the current ratio, quick ratio, cash to debt ratio, debt to equity ratio, and interest coverage ratio.
