Below thread has the references to each of these 10 concepts.
Note : Many of these are my past Tweets related to these topics. Not trying to self promote them. Adding them only because they have the original links, added context and my highlights & fav pts.
Let's dive in. ⬇️⬇️
1⃣ Benjamin Graham's Mr. Market analogy.
An extremely useful concept, especially when
Market is panicking (& throwing out good Co's at bargain prices) & when
Market is too complacent (& awarding high valuations to hype and stories)
My holdings going into 2⃣0⃣2⃣1⃣ (not recommendations).
No idea how their stocks will perform in 2021, but fairly confident of their strong Business performance in the next few years (well, in most cases) in the normal or social-distancing scenarios.
Before someone comments
This is a mashup of TWO portfolios (hence the higher # of Co's).
Personally, I like a mix of mostly growth Co's with some stable/high quality Co's and few dividend focused Co's.
Just like investing is a highly personal journey (based on our goals, risk tolerance, time horizons, capabilities & strategies), the optimal # holdings in each Portfolio is also very subjective.
1⃣ “We want the business to be (1) one that we can understand, (2) with favorable long-term prospects, (3) operated by honest and competent people, and (4) available at a very attractive price.”
Understand the company, the industry, the team, and the price. Solid points.
2⃣ “We ordinarily make no attempt to buy equities for anticipated favorable stock price behavior in the short term.”
Filter for and buy Co's with a long-term lens. Get used to under and over valuation in the short term (and ignore when not related to Co performance).
When people say "Valuation doesn't matter" is precisely the time we need to be more cautious and know the difference between (Intrinsic) Value & (Mkt) Price.
