#SaaS had it's GFC moment in early Feb 2016 (when LinkedIn & few other Co's had some warnings). What a 5 years it has been since then. 🚀🚀

Few🔟baggers in the SaaS land since then.
$NOW* $TEAM $HUBS $WIX $VEEV* $PAYC* $RNG
( $TWLO* & $COUP joined the party in mid 2016). Image
$SHOP with it's 60 bagger spoils the chart for the rest😂, so including it along with $SQ which was another monster winner. Image
Charts above shows what can happen when we
✔️zoom out of the daily noise 🙉
✔️identify strong/secular trends 📈
✔️pick the best run companies within ✅
✔️hold them for the long-term while those excellent businesses execute. 💪

Pat Dorsey's "The Five Rules for Successful Stock Market Investing" is a must read for long-term investors in Individual stocks. A quick great summary of that book.

medium.com/@christophertz…
The Five Rules ⬇️
The quick 10 min test to decide whether this Company goes in the "Bad", "Too hard" pile or "Interesting" pile.

This applies more for stable and already profitable Co's. You will have to tweak it a little for hyper growth & (intentionally) unprofitable but high quality Co's.
