My cheat sheet from the above article. Image
Some of my fav ones. Image
In my experience, for investors in individual stocks, after you get experience in
-Qualitative Analysis of Businesses and Industries
-Financial Statement Analysis & Valuation Analysis

that's when diving into this Behavioral Finance stuff will help you the most.
These biases impact investors at various stages of investing.

-Research (Confirmation bias, Availability bias....)
-Holding (Endowment bias, Overconfidence bias...)
-Selling (Anchoring bias, Loss Aversion bias....)
-General Market (Recency bias, Paradox of choice...)
So it helps to know which ones you are constantly being impacted by, which ones the general Market is being impacted by during periods of stress, learn more and come up with strategies that will slowly help you overcome those. 👍

Long-term investors get the best results when they think from a Business Owner's perspective before buying a Stock and while holding.

This document has good/simple explanations of what each statement records, what it shows and doesn't show.

Yes, a very valid predicament @IrnestKaplan especially with the current valuations.

SW/SaaS Companies usually have few advantages.
-A very high Gross Margin that affords them to spend in other areas.
-No Debt (or very low amount) saving them the interest.
However careful evaluation has to be done if the ongoing expenses for

-R&D is resulting in great Products/Services widening their Market leadership.
-S&M is resulting in acquiring higher value Customers, lowering churn and increasing stickiness.
-G&A is trending down with scale.
The company has to be trending towards Market leadership in an important and growing TAM, while the Management is executing well and building some type of moat.

In these cases, at some point the operating margins and FCF/Sales for good businesses could reach 25% or more.
