Before You Buy: How To Analyze A Stock
$23$37
In just 5 hours, you'll learn how to analyze a stock before buying: read the three financial statements, judge a company's health, moat and price, read its chart, size your risk, and decide with one scorecard.
The Parallax Method: two lenses, one decision
The Business lens: is it a good company, is it healthy, is it clean, and is the price sensible?
The Chart lens: what are buyers and sellers doing now, and where is a sensible entry and exit?
Then Risk decides how much, and the Scorecard decides yes, watch or no.
What you'll learn
How the market really works: how prices are made, order types, dividends, splits and buybacks.
Understand the business: business model, competition, economic moat and management.
Read the financial statements: income statement, balance sheet and cash flow, line by line.
Company health: ROE, ROIC, debt, growth, plus the Altman Z-score and Piotroski F-score.
What it's worth: P/E and other price tags, a three-scenario value estimate, and your margin of safety.
Read the chart: trends, support and resistance, moving averages, RSI, MACD and common patterns, with the evidence told honestly.
Manage risk: position size, diversification, red flags and your exit plan.
Know what you own: a screen for debt, interest income and business activity.
