If this video were a stock, I would buy it! This is highly undervalued content!

I really don't know why you haven't got a bigger following, nobody is bringing this much value to the investing community. Thanks again for another great video.


The next few years for Microsoft excite me. Fundamentals are looking strong and the next generation Xbox is soon to be released. When the Xbox One came out in 2013, there wasn't anywhere near the amount of Youtube Creators to help push the product to success. So it will be interesting to see how all of this unfolds :)


Thanks again!

I think the world of you, Jimmy. You're such a good guy, a humble guy. You don't behave cocky and talk badly about others. I love your teaching style. I learn tons from you in a way I can understand and apply. I hope you are enjoying life and have many people in your life who love you and whom you love. The best to you, my friend! :)

[jespermadsen]

Hi Jimmy. I love your videos because of their high educational quality in an easy to understand language. You are the best I've seen on Youtube.

[zachariahal-q]

I think this is one of your better videos, teaching the mindset of selling an investment and knowing what information to take in and which to ignore is priceless for new investors, keep up the good work 👍

[Arispo]

This is by far the highest quality investing channel on Youtube. I'm recommending it to all my friends. We are all learning invaluable things from you and I cannot believe it is all for free. Keep up the good work Jimmy, from a fan in Spain!

[Hugo-Cheung]

I started watching your channel today, and I am addicted to it. Just don't understand how your channel has only 38.4K subscribers! Your explanations are very straightforward with no BS at all! You are way better than most of the value investing channels on youtube. Well done!

[everchanginguniverse]

Again wanted to Thank you for being Brilliant. Have invested $200 in classes and reading material and they could not explain even 20% of what you do on your channel. You are the best. Keep up the good work.

[thetraveling]

can you do a video where you go through what web sites you use to find the information to analyze each of your stocks?

[fabianrichburgh]

The only investing channel you need to follow!

I think one of the overlooked things to consider about selling a stock is taxes. That is a cost you incur only when you sell, not when you hold, and it can have BIG compounding impacts over time!

[tysonshults]

This is your best video so far. Love it. Can you make a part 2 that shows an example of a company with earnings that have turned lower? Would you sell after a bad quarter or a full yr of lower earnings? At what point do you actually hit the sell button after holding for years? Thanks Jimmy.

[vishalmishra]

The decision making framework discussed here is pure gold. Not looking at stock price (outcome) but looking at decisions that made you buy the stock and reconsidering for any changes. Such rational thinking applies greatly to not just investing but to anything. You are amazing Jimmy.

[georgehadley]

Jimmy - Your best video yet. The table showing earnings and margins was excellent and very clearly showed why MSFT was still a hold even though the share price chart was showing a 20% decline. You mentioned the word emotion and that is a killer in stock investing. I hope your friend has appreciated your great advice when buying MSFT at $51 when today's price is $136, you're a stock picking genius.

[brandonmyers]

This dude deserves wayyyy more subscribers

[paganini]

I have seen a lot of videos about the stock market and explaining when to sell a stock, however, most of them were just mumbo jumbo. This one made complete sense. This perspective was mind-blowing and....you're 100% correct! The idea of organizing the amounts per quarter is just brilliant!
Thank YOU! Now, let's get rich! :)

[mamdohaunts]

Super great video Jimmy. Couple of months ago, I had zero knowledge about stocks and didnt own any. I wanted to do research of my own before jumping in. Your videos are one of my go-to places to understand and refresh my investment thinking & strategies. Please keep up the good work.

[VikasdeepSingh]

While watching this video at 3:04 today (June 30, 2020), I checked MSFT stock price and it is 198.44 USD. Thanks a lot for your valuable videos.

[xxGeckoxx]

I agree with the concept, but what do you think about profit taking at higher points? Just to secure profits and possibly investing it more down the line, ?

[patandrade]

Simple and straightforward. I would add another set of lines for the cash flow analysis. Thank you for the video.
