GWV 011: Putting it all Together

Over the last nine episodes we covered a number of different topics which together form the basis of valuing a business’ intrinsic value. I began the Investor Education Series in Episode 2 with a brief Overview of my Investment Process. My basic investing concept is to find the best businesses out there and increase my understanding of these businesses so I am ready to invest with conviction if or when the time comes that they trade at or below their respective intrinsic values.

I outlined the process I undertake to find these wonderful businesses over the next eight episodes, where in Episode 3 I explained how I use a stock filter to find the companies that meet my criteria, then in Episode 4 I ran through how to utilise an investment checklist. Episodes 5-9 covered the fundamentals of valuing a business and Episode 10 we looked at the importance of applying a Margin of Safety to your investments.

Thanks very much for listening to my short Investor Education Series and I hope I have been able to help you to better understand a few key fundamental points behind valuing a business. From here you can continue to build your knowledge, which is a never ending process, and begin to make intelligent, fundamentally based,  investment decisions.
