100 TO 1 IN THE STOCK MARKET (BY THOMAS PHELPS)

For those of us that do not possess massive wealth-generating talents, such as writing extremely relatable music, leading and inspiring thousands of people in an organization, or being able to take hundreds of punches to your head, investing is probably the greatest road to riches. And if there’s one area within investing where the mathematics are truly month-watering, it’s when you are looking for stocks that can return 100-to-1.

$10,000 invested in a single 100-to-1 stock will turn you into a millionaire. The Home Depot would have given you millionaire status since 1991. Microsoft since 1995, Amazon since 2002, Apple since 2005 and companies like NVIDIA and Celsius have managed to do it even quicker.

Now maybe you are thinking “sure, if I had some bacon I’d have some bacon and eggs if I had some eggs”. Many of us may not have $10,000 laying around, and we would certainly not be willing to invest them in a single company if we did. But the mathematics are impressive with a thousand or a few hundred dollars too. Just consider that if you invest in 100 stocks and just one of them makes 100x, all the other 99 can go to 0 and you’d still break even. It’s difficult to find a 100-to-1 stock, but so is picking 99 companies out of 100 that all go to 0. In fact, I know some hedge funds that would pay your weight in gold in case you can accomplish that.

The Home Depot, Microsoft. Amazon, Apple, NVIDIA and Celcius are success stories of the past though. Peter Minuit bought the whole of Manhattan for just $24 worth of trinkets back in the 1600s, but of course, you and I have to operate in today’s market, so let’s dive in and try to understand how we can catch the next 100-to-1 stock.

My goal with this channel is to help you make more money and improve your personal finances. How to become a millionaire? There are many ways to get there – investing in the stock market, becoming a stock trader, doing real estate investing, or why not becoming an entrepreneur? But whether you are interested in how to invest in stocks or investing strategies for creating passive income with rental properties – I hope to be able to provide you with a solution (or at least an idea) here. Warren Buffett - the greatest investor of our time - says that you should fill your mind with competing ideas and then see what makes sense to you. This channel is about filling your mind with those ideas. And in the process – upgrading your money-making toolbox.

The fact that nobody talks about the book 25 money secrets from Donald Trump, speaks volumes why people dont earn a lot of money...

[georgegogolan]

This channel is 100 to 1. 👏A real gold mine.

[sonnyantoine]

This channel is absolute pure gold, both in presentation and in information

[OPS-Clothing]

This is one of those channels that when he uploads, my unconsciousness takes over and clicks the video before I can act.

[DanAvenell-hu]

For me the biggest mindset change came after reading the book 25 Money Secrets From Donald Trump, since reading it the only thing I think about is money

1) You don't have to look specifically for 100 to 1 stocks. You just have to look for companies that have the potential to grow tremendously. There is no way you can forecast whether a company will return 100 to 1. However, you can forecast that a company has the potential grow sales and profits over time, and will thus be a profitable investment. 2) Achieving 100 to 1 results is dependent on holding your positions long enough. The only absolute guarantee in investing is that you will never have a 100 to 1 stock if you take always profits when a stock gets to 2 to 1, or 10 to 1, or 30 to 1 or appears to be overvalued. 3) If you can't handle a highly concentrated portfolio where most of your portfolio is in only 2 or 3 stocks, you'll never be able to hold a stock until it hits 100 to 1. The reason I wrote 2 or 3 stocks rather than 1 is that by the time one of your stocks achieves 100 to 1, you will probably also have one or two that are at least 50 to one and another that is at least 30 to one. Most positions will have just average results and at least one will be a huge loss. 4) I've never had a 100 to 1 stock because I've always sold too soon. However, looking back on my investment career, had I never sold any of the stocks I bought, by now one would be over 100 to 1, one would be over 70 to 1, one over 60 to 1, one over 30 to 1, one over 20 to 1 and two over 10 to 1. I think there was only 1 would have gone to zero. I focused on companies that I though had the potential to grow tremendously. I did not focus, at all, on "a margin of safety." Consider this, if you had paid twice as much for a stock that achieved 100 to 1, you'd still have a 50 to 1 return! Great stocks rarely look fairly priced. At the time I bought them, I had never even heard of the 100 to 1 goal so it didn't even enter my mind. The three concepts that will prevent you from ever having a 100 to 1 stock, each so popular that it is by now accepted "wisdom" are A) You never go broke taking a profit, B) Bulls make money, bears make money, pigs get slaughtered, and 3) you must have a diversified portfolio. Ignore them.

We don’t pronounce the “T” in Home Depot.

[valuabletips]

I think the formula in intelligent investor is really important in calculating intrinsic value of stocks, free cash flow is also important

[otterton]

Remember the one golden principle of statistic is "regression to the mean". I do not see that the earning alone can justify the speculative market value of the company beginning with a capital letter of N.

[ljragsandfeathers]

Yes! Get rid of the bots. I was getting worried when I hadn’t seen a video in weeks :). Fantastic channel

[handroidcool]

Wish you all the best in your investments 🙌🏻

3rd. Read the book already. Great book. I think Charlie read it too.

[AmatriceBand]

There are quite a few contradictions in value investing. One is sell when the margin of safety is gone vs once you find a good stock hold it and don’t sell when the margin is already gone. I’ve hit 2 100-1 in my lifetime and in both cases I held way past the safety margin even when they crashed temporarily. It’s just no one would know.

[FindependenceChannel]

It is an interesting book and timepiece - I do feel that it is slightly outdated and simplified. Still worth a read to see how value investing and investing in general has been evolving.

[Cicoo]

100 to 1 in knowledge for time spent. I still can't believe I found such a wonderful channel.

I mostly hold good dividend payers in my pension plan (including home depot) and don't worry about daily price changes.

[PrinceChauhan]

This is one of my top 2. Financial / stock market channel on Youtube

[funnyperson]

Monish Pabrai recommended this book. I ended up buying a different one at the time called “100-bagger” or something and didn’t realize it was the wrong one until recently.
