Happy Friday everyone! Have you ever used multiples before when making an investment decision? Which ones do you tend to use? Let me know!

Biggest lesson i learnt in 2024 in the stock market is that nobody knows what is going to happen next, so practice some humility and follow a strategy with a long term edge.

Protecting your capital is much more important than making money. Basically because if you lose your capital, making money is much harder. ''Missing the train'' vs. ''losing your money''. There are a lot of trains, but if your money is gone, it's over.

Buying a stock is easy, but buying the right stock without a time-tested strategy is incredibly hard. Hence what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist? I’ve been trying to grow my portfolio of $560K for sometime now, my major challenge is not knowing the best entry and exit strategie;s ... I would greatly appreciate any suggestions

[alexsiryj]

Just look at the stocks that I've purchased and wait a couple months. The price will go down, trust me.

Opinions diverge; some claim overvaluation due to rapid gains, while others cite strong economic fundamentals justifying high valuations. Raises concern for my $600K equities going 8% up and 20% down. Should i hold on or sell off my positions and hold cash?.

Utilizing forward P/E ratios is what got Enron in trouble. The books were being cooked and management was stating their earnings would constantly keep going up. Because of that, the analysts kept rating the company a "Strong Buy"...up until the glass house started falling apart.

The question of "is this share selling cheaply?" became really easy to answer in March of this year, lol.

I recently graduated about a month ago from college with a degree in finance. I wanted to ego over my course material and came across this video. This is EXACTLY as it was taught to me in uni. Great video sir. Thank u

Though multiples seem helpful, I'd argue probably one of the more important things is consistent positive cashflow and low or no debt.
"Companies that have no debt can't go bankrupt."

[krabbykrabby]

I remember watching you guys channel last year and you've grown a lot since then. The views are well deserved tho, top notch content.

The markets are looking favorable, after so much deliberation with my wife, I feel this is a good time to invest a lump sum of $700k ahead of retirement. What stock should I Look into to safely grow my money?

I’m not a big time investor but what has worked for me in the past is very simple. Is the business revenue increasing year over year? Is the business making a profit? Does the business have good cash flow and is operating on a 15-20% margin? Does the stock pay dividend If yes I buy. Keep mind the difference between a trader and a investor

[bardacha]

Wouah, by far the best, clearest, and most straightforward explanation I have found on Youtube !

[giacomobauer]

What I got from this video: How to Tell When a Stock is Cheap/Expensive - Answer: You can't

[robb]

While I’ve known about the P/E Ratio, I never quite understood it till now. Your analogy about meat prices is a perfect explanation. Thank you.

[pzackery]

I have watched three of your videos now on stock market fundamentals. Solid advice, easy to understand language, and great editing. Subbed!

[alexfernandez]

Great animations, straight to the point, very informative. Keep doing what you do!
