20. Warren Buffett's 3rd rule - A stock must be stable and understandable

[@henrycosentino7818]

slowly making my way through the lessons while I take my other college courses. I appreciate the thought and care put into the videos! I really enjoy them :)

[@sivi9741]

The music at the beginning is such a good preparation for diving into learning .

[@cmiranda31]

Hey Preston! I want to say THANK YOU! The work that you and Stig do through the Podcast, websites, and KZbin has given me the courage to go out and finally try to buy stocks. I feel a lot more informed and in control of my emotions. I didn't know the wealth of knowledge that you had on your Warren Buffet Books website till after clicking on the link in this video that took me to the calculator! Oh my gosh! You have everything written out! You have no idea how thankful I am that you did that. I've been replaying every thing in this video so many time (its late and a bit heavier than the other videos) that once I saw that you also had things written for me to read I felt obligated to say, "THANK YOU"! You guys are a HUGE blessing! My husband who is currently getting an MBA said he's learning more from you guys than his professors! Thank you isn't big enough to describe my gratefulness, but THANK YOU!

Thanks for sharing all of these videos Preston! I have been learning about finance for years and your videos have been one of the best lines of communication for me regarding understanding finance.

You've done a much better job of explaining all those stuff than Mr. Warren Buffet himself. Great Job. You really must be paid for your skills.

Hello Preston! Thanks for your Video! MSN is not as good anymore to gather all that data and only shows the last 5 years. Can I know what other website are you using these days? Because even going through the financial reports is hard to find e.g., outstanding share for each FY. Thanks!x

[@hydrozyk]

My thought is that fundamental investing is not all about numbers, otherwise every good accountant/CPA could of invest like Buffet. It is also about understanding business model, being a businessman first rather than accountant.

Yes fundamental anakysis is bkth qualitative and quantitative

[@vincentbader7874]

What about the dilution of shares. Wouldn't that have the book value per share go down, even if the total equity of the company was in fact increasing? With that in mind, how can I just look at book value per share?

[@alaabaker2534]

MSN does not provide now that kind of data?

[@MandoRdgz]

Very good information Preston. I do have a concern though, if Warren Buffett follows these rules how can he invested in Verizon even though its debt to equity ratio has been above 0.5 for more than 10 years?

Hi Preston! Thank you so much for the great content! I have a question for you, is it still possible to calculate a company's intrinsic value if they 1. don't have dividends and 2. have negative EPS (maybe because they are a new company)

[@navyjolly]

Preston, what would you say about this analysis on SIRI after 8 years as investor?

[@sgarrison251]

MSN Money does not list the 10 year summary on their new web pages (at least what I can find). Any new place we can find this data? Great job with these videos!

[@kenanlambo]

Hey Preston, I noticed that the market price of 1 share of SIRI was worth $0,01 back in 2010. According to my logic, isn't this the best time to buy this share? I mean the price can't get any lower, also you are able to buy over a thousand shares easily knowing that the market price might become $1,00 within the upcoming 3 years. Which leads to the obvious conclusion that your investment has grown by a 1000% in a 3 year time period. with kind regards, Kenan

[@denhaagzh]

Dear Preston, I have a question about your video "21. Warren Buffett Intrinsic Value Calculation - Rule 4". Reactions are disabled for that video so I ask it here. From 8:30 forward for 2003 the EPS is $1.50 of which $0.70 is added to the book value and $0.30 is payed in dividens. You say $0.50 disappears through the system in which the company is operating / the cracks of the system. How do I have to see this, where did it go? It can't just disappear right? It has to go somewhere. Thanks in advance

[@marcotp9]

I can't find the 1o year data in any website....can I use the 5 years instead ? otherwise ....anybody knows where can I find that info elsewhere? \

[@kenanlambo]

I was calculating for myself for BK stocks, I calculated the debt to equity ratio to be 0 on the balance sheet. But when I looked at the 10-Year summary it said 0.76. So which one should I look at?

[@ShyDavis]

Hi! Love all the videos! I'm currently reading the Intelligent Investor when I stumbled upon your channel. I watched the 4th rule and would like to know if I can use the BVPS when calculating the intrinsic value or must it strictly be BV?

Hi!!! I've watched your videos and read your book and I have to say you have done an amazing job!

In msn I can only see the last 5 years in the "balance sheet". I ask you this because I want to get familiar with the msn money web and if you are using it to obtain the serie I would not like to miss it!!!

hi Preston, i have a question: What if you find a company where for example, the market price is 14.00$ and P/E ratio is 90.91$ more than market price. Is it a good deal? or i have to choose where the p/e ratio is always less than market price? thank you. regards

[@matthewdustin7353]

You want a PE ratio to be less than 15 if you're following Buffet's rules. That's the ratio of the price of the stock compared with how much it's earning per share. You cannot base the purchase of a stock off the P/E ratio alone.

I need help understanding what the bond interest rate represents. If the interest rate is 1.74%, does that mean you'll get 1.74% annual return from your investment in the bond.

[@lalittiwari861]

Suppose you buy $100 at 1.74% interest, You will annually receive dividend of $1.74. Although interest rates change every year, you will receive dividend at the interest rate 1.74% only. If interest rates go down next year, price of your bond will increase. Kindly watch the video, "what is bond?" By preston

[@tpsu129]

July 2008 is when SiriusXM merger went through. That explains the spike.

[@parth9247]

Anyone knows what is the basis of calculation of the intrinsic value calculation which is shown in the next video? The comments are turned off in that so couldn't post it there.

[@imlkr_]

Intrinsic value is based upon what earnings you are expecting in its future years as compared to the average government Bond rate. It basically says that you have to invest in that particular stock at its intrinsic value to receive the kind of returns you are expecting!

Has anyone else had difficulties finding stocks that have stable EPS/Book value/ROE/dividend/current ratio/debt to equity ratio? I feel like there's too many criterias to look at and there's not one good stock out there, even the best known companies don't show consistent growth. So far i've looked at 50+ stocks and I haven't found one that meets the required stable growth. Possibly the death of value investing? Seems unlikely that so many companies in the s&p show unconsistent growth/stability.

[@jedinight8000]

if you think about it, a stock is identical to the company in many ways.

[@dupham7900]

Night Riderss , nope. Like Preston explained, stock prices are determined by shares holder. You can set prices on apples tor trading, but high or low prices not always determine the quality of the apple.

[@YoNevNo]

When he says "the stock must be stable" he means the business. All the metrics that he showed here were regarding the specific financials of the company. Take Tesla for an example. They got an absolutely horrendous financials, but they stock price is sky high. That's because the investors buy with their emotions and inspiration from Elon Musk. I think this is basically what you mean and you already know this but the point is that Preston didn't really mean the stock literally, but more as a business.

[@mikecharlie8942]

Don't be a smart ass. Preston of course is talking about the company even if he used the term "stock".

Raheel Akhtar lol a stock aka a share is proportional ownership of a company. So you should look at a stock like if you’re speaking of the whole company.
