"The Five Rules of Successful Stock Investing" by Pat Dorsey is one of the best books for individual investors (Top 5 in my opinion). Excellent summary of that book. h/t @suru27 👏

My fav slides in the thread below. ⬇️

slideshare.net/suru27/book-su…
The 5⃣ Rules to Follow ⬇️ Image
7⃣ Mistakes to Avoid ⬇️ Image
Why Moats are important ⬇️ Image
Sources of Economic Moats ⬇️

Some of Co.'s cited obviously change over a period of time, due to changes in trends, Customer preferences, Management issues and so on. No list is permanent. Image
Analyzing a Company (This section's summary obviously cannot be fully captured in few bullet pts) ⬇️
✔️Growth
✔️Profitability
✔️Financial Health
✔️Risk Factors
✔️Management Image
Analyzing Management. ⬇️

Most important factor in my opinion, as they're the ones defining the culture/vision/strategy and empowering the employees to serve the Customers while balancing all other factors. Even more important in today's Tech enabled world. Image
Be your own detective when analyzing Financial Statements. ⬇️ Image
Valuation Basics⬇️

This is where most people trip up. Learning to contextualize Valuation based on the specific Co.'s characteristics (Quality/Growth-past & future/Management/Financial Strength/ROIC & runway/Moats....) is definitely more art than science. Image
Intrinsic Value basics ⬇️ Image
If you're a long-term investor dealing with individual stocks, buy and read the whole book if you can.

The overview of all the important concepts and analysis of various Industries is very useful and highly practical.

Happy to share that Intuitive Surgical $ISRG finally became a 5⃣0⃣ bagger for me as of today (first tranche bought at the depths of GFC in March'09). The next two tranches from Nov'10 and May'14 also did their thing being 10+ baggers. Image
After $LULU did it's 100 bagger for me back in 2021 this is the next one to hit 50+ milestone.

Peter Lynch was right. Regular folks can achieve (but can't plan) for these, with some common sense investing + lot of patience when thesis is on track + even bigger amounts of luck.
@DavidGFool I gotta thank whoever was writing the free articles about $ISRG back during GFC on @themotleyfool 👏, as I would not have known about the company so early otherwise.

Still here.🙋‍♂️Just got busy with some non-investing aspects of my life over the last few months.

As painful as 2022 was, it also gave me an oppty to slowly add to existing or new pos at prices I expect to fondly look back on few yrs down the lane.

Few examples (not recs) ⬇️
$MDB : Before the crash, it was X shares at avg price of $208. Now it's 5X shares at avg price of $226

$AXON : Started in 2022 with multiple adds, with current avg of $120

$ALGN : Before the crash, it was X shares at avg price of $210. Now it's 2.5X shares at avg price of $222
$MELI : Added at $680, first add to the position since 2014.

$META : Added at $92, first add to the position since 2016.

$AMZN : Added at $95, first add to the position since 2018.

Slowly setting my cash on fire again this week.

Small adds to existing pos
$META (Social is done)
$NOW (Who needs IT monitoring anyway?)
$ALGN (Everyone from now one will have perfectly aligned teeth)
$SQ (hey guys, focus plz, actually)
$MDB (Recession will kill need for DBs).
Kidding aside, the next few qtrs are highly uncertain from a lot of aspects, but not all Cos are the same when it comes to credit dependence for capital stack/customer demand...
..cyclicality and severity of business impact during an actual recession, runway for core growth post any recession, ability to use this period to acquire smaller competitors etc.
