Instructor's Insight

This is not easy.

Individual stock investors used to have difficulty getting enough information without having to pay for costly subscription services. Thanks to the internet, investors may now obtain free, real-time data with the touch of a button. The challenge is in determining the appropriate information for assessing and evaluating a certain stock.

Although the stock market can appear random at times, making effective financial selections is a science. When considering whether to invest in a stock, professional investors analyse a few essential sets of criteria. Developing a simple set of criteria to use when analysing stocks can make the process considerably less stressful.

We want our students to uncover the next great companies. Companies that will compound shareholder returns over the next two to five years and are outstanding growth compounders. Our students are provided a set of key criteria to evaluate any investment and uncover undervalued fantastic companies, which includes eight primary and three secondary criteria. These 11 criteria should not be considered in isolation. They are most effective when used in tandem to provide a thorough assessment of a company's market position.

We will go over the two main criteria and three secondary criteria in this course. You will discover how to evaluate the company using this set of criteria. Stop thinking of the stock market as a game of chance. Having a set of criteria in place clarifies and rationalises your buy and sell decisions.

"The great personal fortunes in the country weren't built on portfolio of fifty companies. They were built by someone who identified one wonderful business. With each investment you make, you should have the courage and the conviction to place at least 10% of your net worth in that stock." - Warren Buffett

"Know what you own, and know why you own it." — Peter Lynch
