3 Signs of a Quality Stock

Many investors think in terms of value. They scour financial statements trying to find undervalued opportunities. Some focus on sales and earnings. The income statement shows these numbers as top and bottom line. But investors often miss some of the most valuable information. Let’s take a closer look at what that is… First, we need to note that financial statements include three parts: income statement, balance sheet and statement of cash flows. The income statement, which lists sales and earnings, gets most of the attention. It also shows the company’s expenses. The balance sheet shows what a company owns and[…]

Every Strong Company Needs a “Perpetual Customer Engine”

One man built an empire with a single goal in mind… Do what’s best for the customer. Meet Mr. Sam. Mr. Sam, Roy and his beat-up Ford F-150 pickup truck. In 1962, Sam Walton opened his first store in Rogers, Arkansas — Wal-Mart Discount City. To cut down signage costs, he shortened the name to Walmart. And he was obsessed with customers. In 1989, when Walmart “only” had 1,300 stores, Mr. Sam wrote a memo to his associates about his strategy: More and more, I’m convinced exceeding our customers’ expectations must be our strategy. Our Company’s future survival, in my[…]

New AI Strategy: AI Is Fighting Fires & Predicting Market Moves

There’s one massive tech trend that doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon. Artificial intelligence (AI). Farmers are using AI to grow our food with better quality and efficiency. AI is being used in health care to analyze X-rays and diagnose cancer patients earlier. And with the rise of wildfires, from California and Maui to the Mediterranean, AI is actually helping firefighters. They’re using “AI-enabled cameras to scan the horizons for smoke,” while Microsoft is using predictive AI to locate potential fires. But AI has another HUGE benefit … it can help you make money.

Why You Should Dodge the Instacart (CART) IPO

In life and investing, it’s important to know who you are and what you stand for. Just as much, that means knowing who you are not, and what you won’t stand for. I’ve always been hesitant to criticize investment strategies that I don’t follow. Just because I avoid trying to make money a certain way doesn’t make it objectively bad. And it definitely doesn’t mean other investors are wrong. But I would feel remiss if I didn’t at least offer a close examination of the pitfalls of investing in IPOs — “initial public offerings.” Investing in IPOs carries a substantial[…]

The Lindy Effect Can Make You a Better Investor

Broadway is home to long-running hits. And many flops. It was also home to Lindy’s Delicatessen. That was a hot spot for actors, writers and the people who make Broadway what it is for almost a 100 years. According to legend, actors enjoying a late-night meal at Lindy’s noticed that if a Broadway show lasted for 100 performances, it had a good chance of lasting another 100 shows. This observation is known as the Lindy Effect. Economist Nassim Nicholas Taleb popularized the idea in his book Antifragile: Things That Gain From Disorder. Taleb generalized the Lindy Effect to anything nonperishable.[…]

Infinite Momentum: A Strategy to Build Your Nest Egg By 300%

March 2018… I’m sitting across a table from Adam O’Dell. We’re at the Starbucks on the bottom floor of my office building. I order a large coffee. Adam doesn’t order anything. He doesn’t need to. He’s already alert and ready to go. “What do you want to meet about?” Adam is only in town for a short stay. So, he’s all business. I tell him: “I just acquired a company called Money & Markets.
