Paul, you may not be the first person I’ve heard on You Tube that brought up shares outstanding, but you are the first I’ve heard putting an emphasis on it and explaining why it matters. These breakdown videos are tremendous, so much good stuff!

[Shaka_Vibe]

These two are the perfect pair. Found the channel a week or so ago.... love it!

Our thinking really has an important impact in our lives but many people fail to understand this.

Since I started watching EM, I now obsessively check shares outstanding whenever I research a company. Thanks Paul!

I'm really trying but failling to understand how it impacts me that much. Once i'm selling my shares, it will be at market price so whteher there's more shares floating or not do i really care? I will still make my prodit if i sell at higher price that i've prurchased them right? 1 share will still worth its market selling price.... Sorry i'm really dumb. Otherwise love the good work, love the dynamic and love that white board and Paul writing on it... so satisfying :D Much love from Paris!

I agree. I prefer high growth stocks that are on their trajectory to profitability to issue shares instead of taking on debt IF the shares is currently overpriced. See PTON, PENN or DKNG. When GME got pumped I didn’t understand why management didn’t issue more shares. AMC did. Taking on debt has a lasting effect on balance sheets and income statements. Growth companies need that cash to re-invest into the future and to make it through roadblocks.
Another scan I like to run is insider buying. I don’t care that much about insider selling because directors can sell for a variety of personal reasons. But insider buying is interesting for me because a director has clearly confidence in the company’s growth and long term trajectory regarding share price. Insider buying is part of my checklist. Not a must but I like to see it.

This is a great channel. Actual education. It's funny that the smallest channels have the most valuable information. Cameron Stewart also gives solid insights like you guys who I think you should review. Keep going!

I've learned so much in the past 2 weeks since I joined the patreon than I learned the whole 5mo before. I feel I'm starting to understand how to actually evaluate a company instead of just looking at their stock price and deciding from there. Hope to join Moe's Bid N Ask Nation next but I'm poor, gotta wait til next payday. Think that will really pay for itself 10 fold once I join tho. Been so excited about learning how to invest. Much love EM

I love these "Basics" videos. This channel really is a gem.

Been watching, listening, and paying attention to all of predictions and forecasts since early Covid. He hasn't disappointed yet 👌

You guys are great. I left not investing in hype and switched to long term investments.

[jackturner]

Paul, thanks for these mini clinics on investing. I hope you do more!

Good video but this just scratched the surface. EPS CFPS are key metrics that anchor to shares outstanding. The company’s ability to pay or continue paying dividends depends on cash divided by number of shares outstanding… beyond Market Cap, various valuation methodologies take shares outstanding into consideration. Maybe do a Part 2??

[marcelgrond]

Daily Stock Knowledge check ! :) great work guys

[TheJoaninhaMendes]

I know what shares outstanding are guys... but still watched the video because of Seth's shirt. Loving that shirt mate!

[albus]

Great content. Without this fella with beard we would hardly understand what Paul trying to explain us, great combination. Thanks guys

Another amazing exemple of company who is buying back shares is biogen. Eps grew 6x in the last 10 years with a net margin of 30%. With an roe and roic of 33 and 22% this company is a money machine ! Sleeping beast

[pashtmasht]

Great channel! You guys and Sven Carlin are all I watch. Keep up the good work!
