P/E ratio is one of the most important stats IMO. A company may look excellent qualitatively and quantitively as you discussed these things, but if it's overpriced it MAY be worth holding off on purchasing it.
Agreed. The PE metric is very important to look at prior to building a position. I do think it’s just a small % of a bull thesis to go along with many other metrics.
@Albert Edwards depends...low P/E basically means for every share you buy at the time you buy..their earnings pre share(EPS) is high...so you buy at JPM at $137 there EPS is $10.7 your P/E is 137/10.7=12.8..you have to look at the sec median and if it’s a good/great company and it’s lower then the Median investor see it as buying it on a discount...other see a high P/E as ppl are willing to pay up for the stock like Amazon at a P/E of 90
@@fasteddy-fd3kr that depends on the revenue growth of the company. If a company is growing revenue by 50% every year then even a P/E of 100 is actually cheap.
Albert Edwards That’s a great question Albert. There is never a BEST PE to look for since calculating growth can be a very difficult thing to predict. It’s amazing how analysts miss their growth projections on a quarterly basis let alone a yearly basis. I learned that you don’t have to be scared of a very high PE (think Amazon over the years) or a very low PE in the single digits especially if a CEO has been replaced or the business model has changed with new growth in revenue streams. I do like comparing PE ratios within the sector and industry to see where my individual stock (company) falls in line to know if the PE is high or low on a relative basis!

When you look at seeking alpha's key data tab, you should look at the balance sheet to determine the safety of the dividend. It will show the current assets (which are used as collateral on any debt). You will also see any debt and shorter term liabilities. You can determine the total debt as a percentage of the equity. Those are metrics important to dividend sustainability. Next you need NEED to look at the cash flow statement. This is more important than the income statement. It starts with the net income line, and breaks down where the cash flow goes and comes from there. You can see how much debt is being added (or paid off). You see how much is paid in dividends (including the preferred stock). You see how much is paid for stock buybacks (or raised from stock issuance - like Realty Income does regularly). This can show you the total "shareholder yield" that includes the buyback and debt side of things. Here you also can see all of the company investments like capital expenditures, marketable securities (normally treasuries), Research and Development, etc. This is where you determine the amount of money that the owner earns year after year (dividends plus growth capex). I also recommend FAST Graphs as a tool to help you find the value and prices that you should look to buy at. Realty Income may be a great business, but you should note that its valuation is at all time highs or close to it. This is good for growth as they can sell shares at high valuations and make acquisitions. For the longer run though, they tend to trade about 20% lower than today's price. If the stock corrects, you will lose at least 20% as it resets. I would definitely wait for a higher yield from O. Stick with around 5% yield.

So I used to be an investment advisor and I used both to the highest degree technical analysis is great when pin pointing buy in's for more seasonal stocks like utilities and fundamental analysis is better all round for long term investments and essentially market shift. I'll give an example. One of my largest shares are Embridge a natural gas company in alberta canada as I normally deal with tsx, they do have a trend where in summers their stock normally goes down about 2-5% and in the winter it goes back up respectively. That is the technical analysis so best time to buy is summer theoretically. What cements the technical theroy is know that natural gas is normally used for heating homes in canada, and even more so government buildings, so when there is larger consumption for heating the company makes more profit meaning it makes most of it's revenue in the winter, and if there is a late winter like the current year the price will drop even lower than in summer in respect to less usage. That is how you are ment to blend the 2 analytics.

Do you not look at free cash flow or current ratio when looking for companies to invest in? For me, the amount of free cash and how much debt the company has is a big factor I consider for risk management to get my portfolio through the next long bear market.
With your investing style there’s only so much analysis that is actually valuable before you just have to focus on the long term and use your common sense. People like you and I sleep much better at night.
Well, Joseph Carlson decided to show up in my feed and I need to ponder on if I watch or wait? What am I talking about, of course I'm watching! Congrats on 81.6k subs now. This train ain't ever stoppin', just like those dividends!
It's always good to remember what actually makes the stock market go up and down is other investors. The statistics themselves don't mater as much as what other people think of these statistics. This is why I like to take a psychological approach to try and determine if people will want to invest into a company in the future.
Amateur here. Appreciate very much what you and another TH-camr "Investing with Rose" have done recently on how to research companies. The only stock I have in Tesla right now is in a growth ETF. I am no Tesla hater either. In fact, Tesla right now would be the only car manufacturing company I would invest in if I were to invest in individual stocks (and asked which car company I would choose, if any).
Hey Joseph, I have a question I’m hoping you can answer in your next video. You have inspired many people to get started investing, and starting a youtube channel, including myself. What or who inspired you to get started with dividend investing?
Great breakdown of your key analysis points, Joseph. Your content is continuing to offer practical ways for new investors to begin their investment journey. Thank you, and keep up the wonderful work. -John from Taiwan

I have a lot of the same companies as you. One company that I have that I am surprised you don’t is Leggett and Platt. Strong dividend history, show and steady growth, and they own the patent on the bed spring. Curious if you have ever looked at it or considered it?
I look at the P/E ratio (or the net income and the price), and the book value (to manage risk). You really shouldn't ignore any of the two, both are essential.
I knew when i woke up this morning at 5am i would find a jewel. This video is great,its common sense yes but it gave me more ideas and another way to research when i do or don’t have time. I applaud you.
I have to disagree with you about investing in oil companies. Short term they’re going to be struggling with lower oil prices, but in 3-5 years that’s not likely to be as much of an issue as developing countries continue to put people on the road and ramp up energy usage. Also all the major energy companies are dumping a lot of money into green energy products, and are beginning to adapt to changing consumer demands. I think holding onto individual companies such as BP or Shell over the next 5+ years would be smarter than dumping money into an energy ETF.
Hello Joseph, Can you explain why you invest highly on your taxable account rather than the ROTH. I'm sure you mentioned this in one of your videos. But if one were to save up and invest for a big purchase in the future. Which vessel is ideal to invest into? Thank you for the great info!
Hey Joseph, I really loved your analysis on picking up a stock or company to invest in for a good period! Just keep on doing these kind of analysis and help me and others grow their investment! Really loved it♥️♥️♥️
Do you think day Technical Analysis is valuable?

I own 43 stocks in 22 different industries. The majority of my stocks are household names except for maybe PNC Bank, my reits, and my bonds. Most of my stocks are market leaders, large multinationals, have been giving dividends for decades, buy and sell from my other stocks, or otherwise are in strong industries. I don’t really put that much thought into my picks because I’ve grown up knowing most of these companies and/or used them/studied them in college.
looking at how many people bought Tesla for the first time these past days is a technical indicator just like looking at volume. Saying afterwards Technical analysis is not helpful is an oxymoron. There are a ton of technical things people need to consider when making investing decisions such as price and shares outstanding they all tell a story in their own way.
Technical most of the time tells a very short time story....(Even 1 Year movement is short time span for a person who is buying stake at a particular company theoretically for a life time.) At best, it can help you with the entry time within a month or so to come.
I really enjoy your video's. I completely disagree with you about technical analysis. Case in point the email about losing 22k in and oil stock. You can look at any company on a chart and see so much. Do a 5 year chart, daily candle, with 3 simple moving averages, and you can see so much. The best things you can see are if a company is overextended (being the price is far from the moving averages). Whether the company is on an uptrend, a downtrend, or in a consolidation. I don't disagree with your method, but using your method with technical analysis is a better analysis.
Wow! Amazing content. Thank you for being so transparent and explaining things so simply. Also, great dialogue and talking. You are very easy to listen to. Again, just awesome. I subscribed. Thank you
Great Teacher !! I stumbled upon you youtube today...I just tell myself today ...I am such an unfortunate soul and I regret for not seeing your Channel...Simply put...Thanks a lot for your time and Patience...We owe to youtube and you a lot! Thanks is a meagre mellowed word..
Hello Carlson, i follow you channel and it is pretty good. But one question, if you are focused on dividend companies, why you dedicated so much time today to Netflix which does not pay dividend? Thanks, Rogelio.
Hi Joseph, I have been watching your channel for the past year and have really learned a lot from you. I find your insights and commentary to be very thoughtful, interesting, and helpful. You make a lot more sense compared to some of the other stock market influencers on TH-cam. You explain things in a way I can easily understand. Since I started watching you I’ve rebalanced my stock portfolio to mostly dividend paying stocks (80%). I have a question regarding REIT stocks. I know you like REITs because you talk about them a lot. I want to invest in REITS because their dividends are higher than the average stock on the S&P. But I discover that they are taxed differently from the other stocks. REIT stock dividends are taxed as ordinary income instead of the 20% capital gains you would have to pay in taxes from regular stock dividends. Currently, my ordinary income tax (IRS) level is at 37%. So this means that the taxes I would be paying on a REIT stock dividend will be 37% and with a regular stock dividend, my taxes would be 20%. Am I correct? Based on what I just said it makes no sense to me to invest in a REIT stock and I should just invest in a stock that pays a dividend similar to the level of a REIT stock. I would save 17% in taxes. Am I right? What are your thoughts? I appreciate your insights and keep up the great work you’re doing! Chow299
Yup. That’s what happens when the stock market keeps going up 📈 Nothing beats seeing your money grow by 29% like the year we just had! Bull market just continues on. Will be interesting to see when things turn like Q4 of 2018.
Ryan I have my eye 👀 on the 50-day. In this case, around $500 per share based on the technicals. That’s an important support line in my opinion. Tesla may be a fantastic buying opportunity if it falls that low! Especially if you believe in the company long-term👍📈
Hi Joseph, Thank you very much for presenting this show. I really enjoy watching every single episode because I am gaining very valuable information about Dividends investing through your show and lots of reading on my end. Finance is a dry topic! but you make it easy to digest with the way you present the contents. I am following your strategy with my portfolio and I hope one day on the long run I look back and realize that this is the best financial decision I've ever made . Keep the great work!
You should do a review of Phil Town's book, "Invested." Teaches you 3 different valuation methods and is an easy read. It's good to know what your stock idea is actually worth, not just that the yield is high today.
Hi, Joseph love the show. Quick check: Realty Income at a 60+ PE is really a buy? Don't remember excactly on which video but I remember you considering it overpriced some time ago. (correct me if I'm wrong) thanks for your time.
@@lularocha understood no worries, REITs have their own set of metrics that are useful in evaluation because their corporate structure is so different than how a common corporation is structured.
@@JMacInvesting recently started to study REITs (already have a little bit of LTC, EPR, SPG and STOR) and if may ask, what website would you recommend for evaluating and comparing data such as P/FFO, thanks for your help

Hi Joseph, usually don't comment too often but just stopping to say that i am big fan of yours and always waiting anxiously for the next episode. keep up the good work!
Thanks for your breakdown of how you research companies, I've been waiting for that! One question though... How do you find a company to research in the first place? I have been looking at companies yourself and others have invested in, but I don't really know how to find a company by myself. Thanks for the great content! Law
I’m a fan of social awareness online and offline to get a research thesis started. That’s just me though. Everyone has their method to find stocks that will build your money 💰
Seems to me fundamental is the smarter way to invest being more concrete while technical is more speculative and guesswork. Like another viewer said earlier, P/E ratio is a good indicator among many. This is exactly the type of channel I was looking for to learn more information about investing before I actually start. Thanks for your insight
It's interesting to hear that you believe in diversification. I'm personally on the fence about it. The great investors like buffet and munger don't diversify as much as you do. And those guys are billionaires. They believe in picking a few great companies, that you are as certain as you can be about them, and holding onto them for as long as it's reasonable to do so. But at the same time, to me, it makes sense to diversify because if one industry or company that you are invested in does bad, at least you have the others to fall back on. But then again if you had only picked a few great companies and were optimistic about their future performance over the next 10 years or however long you plan to hold, why would you diversify? I've been looking and I haven't found anything that convinces me one way or the other. What're your thoughts on this?
I must say, your answer to KC does sort of surprise me.. I fully agree with your idea of diversification, and I also nodded along with your idea of 'resetting' and not thinking about past events. However, if KC decides to sell his position today in order to diversify, he is taking a 22k loss. This may take years and years to earn back. Also, what happened to 'buy and hold', 'in it for the long run'? To me - this sounds more like 'buy high, sell low', and the 'you might see this stock go down and down' mentality can be applied to any position that is in the red. Before making any decision to sell, I would dig into this company as deep as possibly to guage their future potential. I have made fantastic gains in the oil industry over the last years, and I don't see any reason why you should not invest in oil&gas in the future as well, given the energy mix of the earth as a whole.
I think the point is he opened too big of a position in a poorly performing sector. It could take him years to recover his losses. Why not allocate what you have left into better performing instruments?
Great channel. However, I think it's time to go deeper. The news we can get from other sources, and macro-economy usually is just noise. The majority of work that an investor does, is in the company and sector analysis. I guess this is a choise you have to make as you might lose some casual viewers. You however have enogh knowledge to make great, in depth videos. Im sure others would be interested in such videos.
Schmeckel Knight depending on how much of your portfolio that is. I would add it in over time. But maybe not a year. Maybe 3-6 months? I’m in the same boat with the 10k and I am averaging it in over 3-6 months while continuing my normal deposits.
I like the fundamentals approach you are taking. They work well with established businesses. That said, It's a shame people don't understand Tesla. There was a company years ago that positioned itself and dominated a market to create wealth for lots of people who understood it. They used one thing to create an infrastructure then started to spread out into the vision held by its owner. Today, that owner is the wealthiest man in the world. People see the thing in the public, like an online market website and don't see the giant backend services spun out of it. AWS is far more profitable for Amazon than the market site. Perhaps more people will read what Tesla is good at rather than what they are making. There is a mad-science, young, driven leader there and he is fulfilling on his vision. Tesla is not a car company, they are a technology company. Fools do not see the difference. So the idea that it is a bubble would mean they would have to sell. Stocks don't drop until someone moves. Emotional traders would cause this, and you are giving them the "news" that it is a bubble. Not exactly and intrinsic analysis on your part. Long Tesla and still buying.
Love your take on Tesla 📈🚀 Keep growing that wealth to Infinity! I’m still on the sidelines waiting to pounce on Tesla when it settles a bit. Very volatile at the moment.
Tesla. Should have studied and bought when at $40~ . Musk is an energetic innovative leader.problem for volatility is emotional and some times irrational behavior.
@@MRZEROTOINFINITY Thanks. I think Tesla will introduce so many profitable revenue streams that it would be absurd to not buy while the stock is still cheap. I wouldn't look at pps as much as the market cap.
Albert Edwards $40 sounds like a fantastic entry position! Unfortunately the company was not what it is today compared to back when the price was that low. Time will tell if $750 per share was undervalued and a great buying opportunity!
Adding on to What Joseph Said- What he discussed in this vid was just a part of his analysis. I think even an hour long vid will not be enough to explain the number of pointers that needs to be observed and analyzed before taking a decision. Debt and Cash have not been discussed here. Which are very important topics to analyze before you take a decision. Try to learn some valuation model. DCF or EV/EBIDTA. Will be tough if you don't have a maths background but once you learn it, it will help you for rest of your life.
I totally agree on most of it but technical is still good for finding a good buy point to maximise returns and if the trends down you might want to be patient and capitalize on it for max returns fundamentals are more important but technical is still handy
Dang! Joseph is throwing down the gauntlet on the technical analysis folks.

I can tell you personally that this is nothing but the truth. If I hadn’t gotten expert guidance, I wouldn’t have made it this far.
Does Mr Payden really help people trade?
I appreciate the recommendation. I’m definitely giving it a try.

Good job going with M1 man. Its beast. Good luck
I wish I could like this video twice, there was so much good advice that I'd look to like the video only to see I had liked it already!
Do you not look at free cash flow or current ratio when looking for companies to invest in? For me, the amount of free cash and how much debt the company has is a big factor I consider for risk management to get my portfolio through the next long bear market.
I like your approach. I review the 5 year FCF,AFFO(REIT), D/E,ROA, & ROE.
And LFCF

With your investing style there’s only so much analysis that is actually valuable before you just have to focus on the long term and use your common sense. People like you and I sleep much better at night.
Ha, I see you everywhere bro. Keep up the hustle!
Great job thinking for yourself and having confidence in your approach, not what's trendy. 👍
Well, Joseph Carlson decided to show up in my feed and I need to ponder on if I watch or wait? What am I talking about, of course I'm watching! Congrats on 81.6k subs now. This train ain't ever stoppin', just like those dividends!
I recently transfer 10k to m1 finance thanks for the advice bro!
I’m totally with you on not caring about technical analysis. I think it’s a waste of time and focusing on the fundamentals is much more important.
Well put, rooting for fundamental guys.
I've done a few things correctly, some incorrectly but your uploads are so informative and helpful. Thank you!
Always insightful and entertaining Joseph.
Great journey after 4 years. Congrants and thanks
It's always good to remember what actually makes the stock market go up and down is other investors. The statistics themselves don't mater as much as what other people think of these statistics. This is why I like to take a psychological approach to try and determine if people will want to invest into a company in the future.
Amateur here. Appreciate very much what you and another TH-camr "Investing with Rose" have done recently on how to research companies. The only stock I have in Tesla right now is in a growth ETF. I am no Tesla hater either. In fact, Tesla right now would be the only car manufacturing company I would invest in if I were to invest in individual stocks (and asked which car company I would choose, if any).
You've come such a long way
Hey Joseph, I have a question I’m hoping you can answer in your next video. You have inspired many people to get started investing, and starting a youtube channel, including myself. What or who inspired you to get started with dividend investing?
Great breakdown of your key analysis points, Joseph. Your content is continuing to offer practical ways for new investors to begin their investment journey. Thank you, and keep up the wonderful work. -John from Taiwan
One of the best financial pages on TH-cam 👍
Quality (Btw you can get some of these in the form of numbers insider ownership/Insiders buying/Puts/calls/Short interest) + Quantity + Technical Analysis :) to max returns
Just wanted to thank you for the content. Really helps a lot. Appreciate what you're doing, keep up the good work!
Fist video that I found that actually explains what Im looking for, you just got a new subscriber!
I have a lot of the same companies as you. One company that I have that I am surprised you don’t is Leggett and Platt. Strong dividend history, show and steady growth, and they own the patent on the bed spring. Curious if you have ever looked at it or considered it?
I look at the P/E ratio (or the net income and the price), and the book value (to manage risk). You really shouldn't ignore any of the two, both are essential.
I suck at doing research. ETF research is relatively straightfoward, though. Thanks for the vid; I'm saving it.
ETF is statistically also VASTLY more likely to provide greater returns over the long run than picking individual stocks.
I knew when i woke up this morning at 5am i would find a jewel. This video is great,its common sense yes but it gave me more ideas and another way to research when i do or don’t have time. I applaud you.
Excellent video and the most useful and comprehensive content I've found. Sincere thank you!
Most important advice to KC is to know what you are buying and whether the price you pay constitutes a margin of safety.
I have to disagree with you about investing in oil companies. Short term they’re going to be struggling with lower oil prices, but in 3-5 years that’s not likely to be as much of an issue as developing countries continue to put people on the road and ramp up energy usage. Also all the major energy companies are dumping a lot of money into green energy products, and are beginning to adapt to changing consumer demands. I think holding onto individual companies such as BP or Shell over the next 5+ years would be smarter than dumping money into an energy ETF.
Especially as Shell class B are trading under the book value at the moment. its a no brainer
Thanks for the lesson in research. Truly want to learn to be a good investor and have a good mindset for success
Hello Joseph,
Can you explain why you invest highly on your taxable account rather than the ROTH. I'm sure you mentioned this in one of your videos. But if one were to save up and invest for a big purchase in the future. Which vessel is ideal to invest into? Thank you for the great info!
Hey Joseph, I really loved your analysis on picking up a stock or company to invest in for a good period! Just keep on doing these kind of analysis and help me and others grow their investment! Really loved it♥️♥️♥️

You make amazing content in general, but this video in particular was truly interesting and enlightening, keep it up!!
I own 43 stocks in 22 different industries. The majority of my stocks are household names except for maybe PNC Bank, my reits, and my bonds.
Most of my stocks are market leaders, large multinationals, have been giving dividends for decades, buy and sell from my other stocks, or otherwise are in strong industries.
I don’t really put that much thought into my picks because I’ve grown up knowing most of these companies and/or used them/studied them in college.

If you’re going to do that you might as well do index funds dont you think?
Exactly the types of explanations I’ve been looking for, thanks!
I enjoy to start my Monday work day with your video and my boss think that I`m in conf call :D
Joseph Carlson is my Netflix!
looking at how many people bought Tesla for the first time these past days is a technical indicator just like looking at volume.
Saying afterwards Technical analysis is not helpful is an oxymoron.
There are a ton of technical things people need to consider when making investing decisions such as price and shares outstanding they all tell a story in their own way.
Technical most of the time tells a very short time story....(Even 1 Year movement is short time span for a person who is buying stake at a particular company theoretically for a life time.)
At best, it can help you with the entry time within a month or so to come.
I really enjoy your video's. I completely disagree with you about technical analysis. Case in point the email about losing 22k in and oil stock. You can look at any company on a chart and see so much. Do a 5 year chart, daily candle, with 3 simple moving averages, and you can see so much. The best things you can see are if a company is overextended (being the price is far from the moving averages). Whether the company is on an uptrend, a downtrend, or in a consolidation. I don't disagree with your method, but using your method with technical analysis is a better analysis.
G.E. Stroud Totally agree on that point when it comes to entering a position! Technical analysis is very important!
Please never stop making these videos!
Wow! Amazing content. Thank you for being so transparent and explaining things so simply. Also, great dialogue and talking. You are very easy to listen to.
Again, just awesome. I subscribed.
Thank you
Great Teacher !! I stumbled upon you youtube today...I just tell myself today ...I am such an unfortunate soul and I regret for not seeing your Channel...Simply put...Thanks a lot for your time and Patience...We owe to youtube and you a lot! Thanks is a meagre mellowed word..
this is one of the most informative videos I''ve seen so far, thanks man
Thanks Joseph. Loved the research tactics and your advice!
Hello Carlson, i follow you channel and it is pretty good. But one question, if you are focused on dividend companies, why you dedicated so much time today to Netflix which does not pay dividend? Thanks, Rogelio.
Hi Joseph,
I have been watching your channel for the past year and have really learned a lot from you. I find your insights and commentary to be very thoughtful, interesting, and helpful. You make a lot more sense compared to some of the other stock market influencers on TH-cam. You explain things in a way I can easily understand. Since I started watching you I’ve rebalanced my stock portfolio to mostly dividend paying stocks (80%).
I have a question regarding REIT stocks. I know you like REITs because you talk about them a lot. I want to invest in REITS because their dividends are higher than the average stock on the S&P. But I discover that they are taxed differently from the other stocks. REIT stock dividends are taxed as ordinary income instead of the 20% capital gains you would have to pay in taxes from regular stock dividends. Currently, my ordinary income tax (IRS) level is at 37%.
So this means that the taxes I would be paying on a REIT stock dividend will be 37% and with a regular stock dividend, my taxes would be 20%. Am I correct? Based on what I just said it makes no sense to me to invest in a REIT stock and I should just invest in a stock that pays a dividend similar to the level of a REIT stock. I would save 17% in taxes. Am I right? What are your thoughts? I appreciate your insights and keep up the great work you’re doing!

Great video, very informative and well researched. Awesome watching u as usual. Keep producing great videos!
I really appreciate your videos. Really in depth, meaningful content. Keep it up
Very informative. Thanks man
Thank you for your channel. I find it informative. If you got some books to suggest people (myself included) would appreciate it. Thanks Joseph
I love all of your videos, keep going bro !
Great video! I need to show my friends this. Excellent introduction to individual stock investing. You will be at 100k in no time!
When’s I heard about the price going up I had the fear of missing out and lots of people at work had fomo.
Yup. That’s what happens when the stock market keeps going up 📈 Nothing beats seeing your money grow by 29% like the year we just had! Bull market just continues on. Will be interesting to see when things turn like Q4 of 2018.
Looks like it could eventually drop to $600 or even 380ish if there some bad news.
Ryan I have my eye 👀 on the 50-day. In this case, around $500 per share based on the technicals. That’s an important support line in my opinion. Tesla may be a fantastic buying opportunity if it falls that low! Especially if you believe in the company long-term👍📈
@@MRZEROTOINFINITY thats when put options comes in game :P lets have fun even with the turning point
DIVERSIFIED Never used options myself. Very speculative for my liking. I prefer the long-term game to growing wealth 👍📈
Hi Joseph, Thank you very much for presenting this show. I really enjoy watching every single episode because I am gaining very valuable information about Dividends investing through your show and lots of reading on my end. Finance is a dry topic! but you make it easy to digest with the way you present the contents. I am following your strategy with my portfolio and I hope one day on the long run I look back and realize that this is the best financial decision I've ever made . Keep the great work!
I like your balanced approach, Joseph unlike some youtubers eho promise huge returns in hype stock
You should do a review of Phil Town's book, "Invested." Teaches you 3 different valuation methods and is an easy read. It's good to know what your stock idea is actually worth, not just that the yield is high today.
Starting off my Monday right!
Great video Joseph! Definitely one of my favorite channels.
Hi, Joseph love the show. Quick check: Realty Income at a 60+ PE is really a buy? Don't remember excactly on which video but I remember you considering it overpriced some time ago. (correct me if I'm wrong) thanks for your time.
PE is not a useful metric for REIT's, has no value. P/FFO and FFO is what is used for REITs
@@JMacInvesting many thanks, will check, new investor here :)
@@lularocha understood no worries, REITs have their own set of metrics that are useful in evaluation because their corporate structure is so different than how a common corporation is structured.
@@JMacInvesting recently started to study REITs (already have a little bit of LTC, EPR, SPG and STOR) and if may ask, what website would you recommend for evaluating and comparing data such as P/FFO, thanks for your help
@@lularocha seeking alpha dot com in the past 6 months added ffo and p/ffo for REITs so its my go to place for REITs for sure the NAREIT website is also a great place to learn all things REITs as they are a REIT index provider
This was a great video.
Live your channel
Hi Joseph, usually don't comment too often but just stopping to say that i am big fan of yours and always waiting anxiously for the next episode. keep up the good work!
Keep going bro. Also, is it healthy to have 60 holds. I know someone who owns 60 plus companies.
Just really one thought based off how you say the same things as my grandpa: I. Love. This. Channel.
Thanks for your breakdown of how you research companies, I've been waiting for that!
One question though... How do you find a company to research in the first place?
I have been looking at companies yourself and others have invested in, but I don't really know how to find a company by myself.
Thanks for the great content!
Law
I’m a fan of social awareness online and offline to get a research thesis started. That’s just me though. Everyone has their method to find stocks that will build your money 💰
Hi Joseph I appreciate you
Very logical approach
Thanks
Great video ! One of your best and great details
Seems to me fundamental is the smarter way to invest being more concrete while technical is more speculative and guesswork. Like another viewer said earlier, P/E ratio is a good indicator among many. This is exactly the type of channel I was looking for to learn more information about investing before I actually start. Thanks for your insight
This video was truly so helpful thank you very much. amazing cudeo
Thank you I really need this.
It's interesting to hear that you believe in diversification. I'm personally on the fence about it. The great investors like buffet and munger don't diversify as much as you do. And those guys are billionaires. They believe in picking a few great companies, that you are as certain as you can be about them, and holding onto them for as long as it's reasonable to do so. But at the same time, to me, it makes sense to diversify because if one industry or company that you are invested in does bad, at least you have the others to fall back on. But then again if you had only picked a few great companies and were optimistic about their future performance over the next 10 years or however long you plan to hold, why would you diversify? I've been looking and I haven't found anything that convinces me one way or the other. What're your thoughts on this?
I really enjoy this show.
I must say, your answer to KC does sort of surprise me.. I fully agree with your idea of diversification, and I also nodded along with your idea of 'resetting' and not thinking about past events. However, if KC decides to sell his position today in order to diversify, he is taking a 22k loss. This may take years and years to earn back. Also, what happened to 'buy and hold', 'in it for the long run'? To me - this sounds more like 'buy high, sell low', and the 'you might see this stock go down and down' mentality can be applied to any position that is in the red.
Before making any decision to sell, I would dig into this company as deep as possibly to guage their future potential. I have made fantastic gains in the oil industry over the last years, and I don't see any reason why you should not invest in oil&gas in the future as well, given the energy mix of the earth as a whole.
I think the point is he opened too big of a position in a poorly performing sector. It could take him years to recover his losses. Why not allocate what you have left into better performing instruments?
@@JohnsFishTales On that part, we fully agree. Any leftovers and future cash of course needs to be more reasonably invested.
Great channel. However, I think it's time to go deeper. The news we can get from other sources, and macro-economy usually is just noise. The majority of work that an investor does, is in the company and sector analysis. I guess this is a choise you have to make as you might lose some casual viewers. You however have enogh knowledge to make great, in depth videos. Im sure others would be interested in such videos.
Agreed!
I just got my income tax and I’m adding 10k , to my portfolio think I should do it all at once or space it out through the year.
Schmeckel Knight depending on how much of your portfolio that is. I would add it in over time. But maybe not a year. Maybe 3-6 months? I’m in the same boat with the 10k and I am averaging it in over 3-6 months while continuing my normal deposits.
Stats say 10 months of dca
Always glad to see a new video (:
I like the fundamentals approach you are taking. They work well with established businesses. That said, It's a shame people don't understand Tesla. There was a company years ago that positioned itself and dominated a market to create wealth for lots of people who understood it. They used one thing to create an infrastructure then started to spread out into the vision held by its owner. Today, that owner is the wealthiest man in the world. People see the thing in the public, like an online market website and don't see the giant backend services spun out of it. AWS is far more profitable for Amazon than the market site.
Perhaps more people will read what Tesla is good at rather than what they are making. There is a mad-science, young, driven leader there and he is fulfilling on his vision. Tesla is not a car company, they are a technology company. Fools do not see the difference. So the idea that it is a bubble would mean they would have to sell. Stocks don't drop until someone moves. Emotional traders would cause this, and you are giving them the "news" that it is a bubble. Not exactly and intrinsic analysis on your part. Long Tesla and still buying.
Love your take on Tesla 📈🚀 Keep growing that wealth to Infinity! I’m still on the sidelines waiting to pounce on Tesla when it settles a bit. Very volatile at the moment.
Tesla. Should have studied and bought when at $40~ . Musk is an energetic innovative leader.problem for volatility is emotional and some times irrational behavior.
@@MRZEROTOINFINITY Thanks. I think Tesla will introduce so many profitable revenue streams that it would be absurd to not buy while the stock is still cheap. I wouldn't look at pps as much as the market cap.
Albert Edwards $40 sounds like a fantastic entry position! Unfortunately the company was not what it is today compared to back when the price was that low. Time will tell if $750 per share was undervalued and a great buying opportunity!
I like fundamental but also like technical example is new product every 4 to 5 years like games and phones
Good topic: Fundamental vs Technical analysis.
Yes, except it is totally 1 sided and without merit...
Adding on to What Joseph Said-
What he discussed in this vid was just a part of his analysis. I think even an hour long vid will not be enough to explain the number of pointers that needs to be observed and analyzed before taking a decision.
Debt and Cash have not been discussed here. Which are very important topics to analyze before you take a decision.
Try to learn some valuation model. DCF or EV/EBIDTA. Will be tough if you don't have a maths background but once you learn it, it will help you for rest of your life.
I totally agree on most of it but technical is still good for finding a good buy point to maximise returns and if the trends down you might want to be patient and capitalize on it for max returns fundamentals are more important but technical is still handy
Thank you for awesome content as always!
