Hey YouTube algorithm, this is the best content about finance in YouTube

[nickphillips]

this is the 3rd comment I've written in a few minutes criticising this advice. Im not an accountant, but after a bit of reading for a few weeks I can tell that this advice is really general & 'rule of thumb'. Take this advice with a big grain of salt, and definitely DO NOT only use these basic explanation to assess whether you should buy stock. I can almost guarantee you that you will lose money by thinking 'trend analysis' and a few ratios basic ratios are enough to full assess a business or its income statement.

This was a great explanation. I like this channel so far. I would like to see these analysis in a realistic decision making video. Cheers!

[pabliito_]

Thank you for the explanation. Could you please do the same video for the Balance Sheet and the Cash Flow Statement?

[bennygorgor]

Thanks 🙏 great explanation. I need to watch this for few times ❤

[judynguyen]

[hallaamrou]

thank you for the content (y)

[timy]

Sir, you must love reverse split from what you said about dilution

[nickphillips]

you started with 'trend analysis'....i think warren buffet would have called this speculative

[adrianhochmann]

at 5:38 wouldn't a company that is trying to raise capital also rase its share count. and not keep it steady? baby im misunderstanding here but this part seems confusing

[nickphillips]

I think you need to read trends dont mean a business is 'dying' (in the case of IBM). I'd start with 'One up on wall street', learn to categorize businesses.

Why is a company buying stocks back a good thing? I’d much rather they focus on investing that money in products and processes rather than buybacks, especially if it’s an engineering company, or not?
