INVESTING FOR GROWTH (BY TERRY SMITH)

It is a great book. I read “The Psychology Of Money” just to learn that investing in spy or voo index was the main idea. “ The millionaire Real Estate investor” was amazing too. “The richest man in Babylon” is also a must read.

FYI, I bought a Saab 9000 six years ago for A$100 (yes, that's about US$70), and have driven it regularly since then (about 8000kms per annum) with the only repairs being things that normally wear out on cars (filters, brake pads etc). Incidentally, my family's share portfolio has gone from $800k when I started managing it in 2005 to $9.5m today whilst paying out a six figure annual pension to my parents and taking in much much less in new capital. Those returns are overwhelmingly from buying the sharemarket equivalents of my trusty Saab.

[@maxschoon2470]

I always enjoy watching your videos; they make me reflect. I am not sure what to do in this particular market when one has a small portfolio. If you think about a ten-year horizon, then a DCA strategy on companies you believe in might be good. And if you are an investor and hold a big portfolio with diversified assets right now, I am also unsure what to do. I have sold all the companies where I cannot be confident about their future cashflows. Rather hold cash than being a victim of an illiquid market, affecting certain company's financing. There is a reason Berkshire holds a lot of cash; they face the same uncertainties as we do, and next to that, it is more difficult for them to find adequate investments. P.s. Good luck with the bots; this comment section also seems swamped.

For asset light business model, with high return on invested capital and growth, the company is able to grow vertically or horizontally and at the same time has enough cash for dividend distribution.

I don’t agree with Buffett not paying dividends. I would rather have the option of some dividends because I reinvest them anyways , but having the option gives me flexibility.

[@randombanana640]

dividends get double taxed though, so if berkshire decides to give out dividend, you will get less than what berkshire paid. And the returns of the share price will be lower (theoretically)

[@sprinkle61]

You always have the 'option' of selling part of your stocks, and this will (in the US, in a non-IRA account, assuming you have a normal level w2 job) give you a lower tax level than receiving a dividend, because they are taxed differently. Its just an unfortunate reality that the tax system makes dividends not so great an option, when they used to be the default option to receive income from stocks...

Finally seeing this on your channel. Dont know if you remember this, but I wrote you an email one and a half year ago recommending this book. Thanks for your work and dedication to us investors here.

[@gerard7471]

Excellent video (as always!). I've been reading a lot on this style of investing and it just makes sense to me. Other good books on this are "Only the best will do" and "Quality Investing" (also Phil Fisher's!). The big question for me here is what price is a sensible price. The authors suggest waiting for a "glitch" (which might never come), or using the 10y bond rate , so you'd assume that anything now going for 3% FCF yield would be acceptable. Ultimately I don't think there's a right answer on valuation - it all depends on how much longer the FCF growth will persist, and your long-term view of it. When the growth stops, multiples will contract. Otherwise you can assume them to keep a similar valuation as at the moment of buying, changed by the movement of interest rates. So a 3% FCF yield on a company growing it at 12% per year will roughly return that 12+3%. But if it stops the growth in two years and the multiple halves, you will get a poor result. If that growth maintains for 20 years, you will have a hell of a result.

[@eventhatsme]

Thanks! I assume that FCF can also be calculated by (Cash from operations - Capital expenditure) (for last period)/ MCAP (running)? This will make it easier to track from i.e. TIKR. Edit: I see that inverse ratio: "Forward Market Cap / Free Cash Flow" and "Trailing Market Cap / Levered Free Cash Flow" are available in the global screener and valuation in TIKR now. Do you have some ballpark FCF numbers that would be a good buy?

[@leverage2279]

So waiting for an opportunity to buy a darling cheaply isn't a contradiction to "Don't time the market"? It also means that you have unproductive cash lying around. Isn't it?

[@christopherstewart9874]

Agreed. Also, the kind of companies you really want to own rarely sell below intrinsic value. You might have to wait years, by which time the price you actually pay, below a much higher intrinsic value, could be twice or three times as high as if you just bought it when you finished your research and decided it was a company you wanted to own. Insisting on a price that was $25 million lower almost caused Warren Buffett to miss out on See's Candy, which returned billions in profits. He got lucky but it was very close to penny wise and pound foolish. I'm not even in the same universe as Buffett, but I have missed good moves by entering a limit order that didn't get filled rather than a market order that would have. "Saving" a half point easily can cost you 20 points in missed opportunity.

@Swedish investor. How is waiting for discount different from market timing. What if we miss the most important days in the market waiting for a discount

[@TheSwedishInvestor]

Hey man! Cheers for the quesiton. Not sure what is specifically said in this video, but the general Warren Buffett-advice is to look at it from a bottom-up perspective rather than top-down. Bottom-up would be trying to find individual companies (stocks) that are priced cheap, and if there are none available, you wait. That would be some sort of market timing, but it's very different from a top-down approach. Top-down would be looking at the S&P 500 and after seeing that the average P/E is current 25, you just conclude "okay, I'm not going to invest, because the market is much more expensive than it usually is". The problem with the top-down approach is that there may still be some gems out there that you are missing. The bottom-up approach for timing the market is just fine. When there are cheap companies, buy them. When they are no cheap companies, sit on cash and wait.

[@rutger6789]

But P/E is price/stock divided with earnings/stock… so the number of stocks doesnt matter? Doesnt it just cancel out just like dollar/gallon divided with miles/gallon is just dollar/miles

[@rmcruzo]

It does cancel out (from my POV). If a company issues more stock (splits) it divides not only the price of each share but also the earnings per share by that same value. The P/E should (in theory) stay the same. If there is a split and people (for whatever reason) start buying in big volume, the Price (which is dependent on volume of buyers vs volume of sellers) goes up while the Earnings (company performance dependent) stays the same. That drives a higher P/E ratio with this type of Shares Outstanding increase. The problem is when a company has a lot of convertible products (convertible preferred stock, bonds or options) and the owners of those exercise them by converting them to common stock. That will increase the amount of shares outstanding and dilute the earnings per share. Not sure if I answered your question or I just went on a tangent hahaha. This is my take on it. (I'm fairly new to investing etc. I'd welcome anyone that wants to argue in a different manner/direction)

Stock market cap: 100mil Stock earning 5mil P/e = 20

[@rmcruzo]

Hi Erik, brilliant video as per usual =D. Are there any guides on what would be a high or low FCF Yield per Share? I'm guessing FCF Yield per Share is the inverse of Price/FCF.

[@TheSwedishInvestor]

Hey RMCRUZO - Rui Oliveira! Great question. Something that I've heard Terry Smith do is to compare the FCF yield to something like a 10y US Treasury. If the FCF Yield is higher than the bond yield, while simultaneously, the FCF yield will probably grow over time as the growth company is expanding, you will probably make a good investment. ‘If we can buy them with a higher free cash flow yield than the bond yield, then we have probably created value,’ says Smith. When you are comparing stocks with each other it's just a comparison of opportunity costs. The higher the FCF yield, the better (everything else equal). You are correct about the inverse by the way.

[@rmcruzo]

@@TheSwedishInvestor Hey Erik, understood and thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it! I have been noticing in many books, that the 10y US Treasury (Risk Free Rate) is always used as a baseline of expect return when choosing stocks. I'm assuming that we should look at the FCF yield, specially together with the ability of the company to allocate the capital appropriately. Just not sure about the correct metric to measure that. Perhaps ROA might be a good indication. Looking forwards to your next video!
