Does CROIC>20 AND cash conversion cycle<20 justify the least management honesty

Oh, uncle Phil. ?

Untrustworthy and shady management? hmm let me think…*cough* Facebook cough

what about REIT stocks which are basically known for having a higher long tern debt than their net income because they make money in the process of borrowing money, do they fall into that category of stocks we shouldn't buy? someone please give some clarification on the subject.

yep i got burned on the only company i invested in that warren buffet did TESCO

So how do you buy ETFs or index funds? You will never know the company because there are to many.

I have been burned a few times. I lost about 80% on Retail Food Group, 80% on Dropsite, 50% on iCar Asia, 50% on Livetiles, 50% on Fintech Chain. In short this is why I stay out of investing in individual small cap stocks as all of these except retail food group was a small cap stock. I have had other loses but these were the worst. For the most part they were not recent investments as I have now learned to fully research a stock and not just buy it because an advisory service I paid for recommended it.

Phil is a fox

amazing instructions, thank you!

Companies with bad, unethical leadership that seem to be doing well: does anyone remember Enron?

So I just opened a Roth thru my employer and matched there maximum invest (6%) and put it in a small caps investment. What can I expect if anything, what is expected of me at this point?

What do you mean when you say a company is on sale? Do you mean when the shares are first offered to the public?

I know a lot about video games, but I will never invest in Game Stop.

My mistake was buying IBM in the latest dip ?

BURNED on qudian, deutsche bank,  and potash

Just started reading Rule #1 Investing. Exited to work towards my retirement from a young age. Thanks for what you do!

I bought ExxonMobil after the inauguration on the premise that the sanctions against Russia would get lifted and the deal with rostneft would go thru and dive ExxonMobil thru the roof…now I just want to get my money plus some back before the market adjusts.

Anybody else annoyed by the "Jason Bond's stock picks" advertisements these days?

How do I use this calculator exactly?

Newbie question: What does it exactly mean that a company is "on sale" as you describe it?

Beautiful video

Should we invest in those start ups with potential? Like Pebble before?

You need to buy businesses where an idiot could run them, because sooner or later, one will.

1, don't understand the company
2, don't trust the management
3, not on sale

Mr Phil I am Akhil , I am new to stock market . I been studying this past 3 months , I wanna know how do I study a company systematically , where do I start ?

So what you’re saying is don’t invest in Uber.

Can you make a video about trading options as additional income?

I love your videos and podcasts. Thank you so much for sharing all this information! Really helps so much to slowly wrap my head around investments.

How to identify your profits and loss ratio which some big gaints use to create wealth

Learning from the bad investment can be your greatest achievement. Buying ETF's too high in the bull market in Janurary was one of mine.

Unless you know the management personally, it is impossible to know much about them. It's not like a sport where you can look up players' stats or watch them play. The last company I worked for I knew the CEO very well, as well as some VPs. I would not invest a single penny in his business!! He is not a person I'd trust, and the business model itself is never going to be successful in long term. I really see no way how you'd know this info otherwise without knowing the management personally. The best solution I could find is read company reviews on Glassdoor from their employees. If a company is rated low, that usually means people don't like working there, and that's often because of bad management.

Best stocks to buy during the next economy down turn?

I am a beginner in stock market and learn a lot of things from you.
But I am facing some problem as your all books are written for U.S market but I am an Indian.
In your book you wrote that if you face any problem you can mail me. But I can't find your mail address.
So, I request you Sir please clear my doubts.

Is the unemployment Rate a good indicator the economy is good or if it is going to crash?

Good video like always. I think It’s really hard for a young investor to find a good stock and being mentally strong to wait for the right price. I personally have bought stocks to see it go down to the margin of safety a few weeks later. For that reason, I start buying literally one share at a time using commission free Robinhood and limit orders. What do you think about that strategy and how do you think commission free trading changes strategies and the way to build or sell a positions?
Thanks Phil for sharing your knowledge!

YES – RAS darn them! no no, darn me for being soo wrong.
