Hi Phil, Huge fan! I was wondering if there's a possibility of you doing a video where you record your screen and show the process of you evaluating companies to show us how you do it. Thanks!

[@etcollier]

I recommend reading his book "Invested". Danielle does a nice job of walking the reader thru this process.

[@elizabethmoshira]

Hi Phil watching from South Africa. I bumped into your videos on KZbin while I was searching for anything informative regarding investments. I really think you saved me because the information I found before was too complicated. I like the fact that you encourage people to do investing on their own before watching your video and subscribing I didn't know that I can actually invest all by myself. Although I still have a lot to learn.

Sir, I recently applied these 4rules in the coronavirus situation in the Pakistan stock exchange. I bought 10 companies by following your principals, right now some companies shares got 50%, 60% growth in just 3, 4 months, overall my portfolio has got 25% so far and still growing. thank you for teaching these great rules and rule #1 investing style. Really appreciated and thankful to you

I am a fan of this guy! Just changed my entire outlook on investing and stock. His book works for every country , I am from India and it worked for me .

[@DomCOuano]

I lost maybe 5 or 6 grand in 2016. Decent learning year for me. Probably the biggest thing I learned is that I am NOT hot shit and I need to do more research into companies and businesses that I actually like. I was working in marketing for a biotech company at the time. I thought I was hot shit and bought other biotech stocks and pharma stocks that I didn't know enough about. Once I started focusing on companies and businesses that I actually liked, I started feeling a lot more competent as a researcher and as an investor. Everything started making so much more sense.

[@MehdiSina]

I really respect Phil, seems these type of content is more repeatitive by now. I think you should go deeper and show people how to do it. Mate keep up ths content competition. Thanks

[@georgeemil3618]

If you want repetition, watch Epic Economist or Money GPS. All doom and gloom and the same message all the time. Phil Town is not only optimistic but in a realistic way prepare you for a strategy in a downturn, which means companies are on sale.

I agree. Not useful anymore. Time to find new youtube channels and new podcasts. Any recommendations?

[@ciresica86]

Agreed. The principles are ok. But he just leaves you hanging.. no real examples, no transparency (except for the burrito company he always talks about and whole foods)... "Companies with a mission" ? "4 simple rules"? How about real examples? What gives Phil credibility to talk about investment? Phil, give us your story, not jus regurgitated principles....

[@manishm9478]

ciresica86 the InvestEd podcast he does with Danielle goes into all this. He's got a few episodes of that on this youtube channel too - how i got into it myself. These short vids are just to get people interested in learning more - hard to dive deep in 10-15 min only. And the podcast is free!!

[@ciresica86]

@@manishm9478 really? Which ones have some concrete examples? I listened to all episodes and also read his 2 books and danielle's. There are no concrete examples. Except for, of course, burritos and whole foods. And anothe episode on Tesla from 2017 on how overvalued it was.... And don't get me started on how they completely go off track in podcast.. the title says something eg checklist, but they chit-chat about other things. Happened for the last 3 episodes! And it's not the first time.

I love Brookfield renewables. Their micro-grid hydroplants will address many of the needs of future generations. I do believe they are overvalued. I still invest in them because I fell positive about their mission and addressing power consumption needs.

[@Winston0Boogie]

Thanks, Phil. I am trying to buy se dividend stocks. I saw one company that had a pretty good dividend. I started reading about the company and it's a tobacco company. I am so against smoking so passed on it. I agree with you. There are some companies I will never sell because I absolutely love the company.

[@Mywalkingblog]

Investing in a company that I didn't love and got burned, Washing Prime Group. That was one of my first buys when I started investing because I only cared about dividend yield. Investing in a company I love because of their morals and management, Twitter and Square. Jack Dorsey is a great leader on the forefront of changing how we interact and pay for things.

Mine is on oil and gas midstream for the dividends. I bought into Mondelez the snack company as it is one of my favourite snacks oreos and cadbury. Another awesome stock that i would love is on recycling business called WM for its growth.

[@dylanvaldez2475]

So I invested in oil companies and a few refinery companies and made a good return but hate their mission. As an environmental engineer I hated the fact I was invested in oil. Now I am evaluating solar, wind, and renewable energy companies that I can love!

Absolutely in agreement with you. The limitation we are facing with renewables is the cost involve in developing renewable energy. Lets hope there is a management that can help manage cost effectiveness for these companies to grow.

[@Followingeric]

Hi Phil. Are you ever concerned that the historic PE Ratio appears to be claiming in average. According to a Sp500 Cape PE chart over the last 100 years the avg has climbed. Even after the 2008 financial crisis it only dropped to about 14. With Graham being big on companies being below 15,are you concerned that over time as people are willing to risk their cash to invest in companies over pe15, that your method could need adjustment. Or do you just need to remain patient, as that's an avg PE and you can always find great companies on sale? I know you use other factors as I've read your book, but you mentioned Graham and I know he used it as a quick screen. Thanks Phil

[@vitaminb4869]

That's a noobie mistake chasing the dividends. Not only the share price goes down by the amount of dividends every year making the dividend a wash, but it also usually indicates the company doesn't care about growth anymore. No wonder the stock has gone no where for the past decade.

Tesla met all 4 criteria at $176 😅

[@egor.okhterov]

You cannot do honest valuation of Tesla. It is not the type of investment that fits Rule 1.

[@WK1101]

Meaning: Tesla’s mission says it all. “accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy”. The switch from ICE vehicles to electrical is only logical as the cost curve declines. Simple enough to understand. Moat: Tesla has far better technology than any other auto manufacturer. This is in the form of batteries, infotainment, and autonomous driving. Tesla is years ahead of the competition in all of these areas. Huge, deep, wide, shark and alligator infested moat. Management: My management concerns have been eliminated now that Elon Musk has chilled out with twitter. Management has been use debt responsibility resulting in a healthy balance sheet. Plus, a good portion of the debt is due to be wiped out as soon as the convertible bonds mature. Management check Margin of Safety: I valued Tesla at $810 based on a based on a combination of 5 year discounted cashflow and projected Earnings. That’s about an 80% margin of safety at $176. Big ole huge margin of safety! Congratulations Ltpwnface

Hi Phil, I HAVE A DOUBT : Assume there is a company named XYZ with a stock price of 40 and it is currently struggling to raise money. So, there are quite a few bidders trying to investing in XYZ and they want to do it at lower price say 20 per share. What does that mean in fund raising terms and what happens to the stock price if that is the case? Will the exact opposite thing happen if the said companies are willing to buy the XYZ at a price more than the Current Stock Price. Awaiting your reply.
