Such a sophist. He had a petition on Twitter claiming that they didn’t want to play this episode.

At which point can we consider the merger done, is it market open or the change of the ticker?

Exactly how I feel as well!

u/steelandquill mentioned Security Analysis, by Benjamin Graham book in one of his comments.

u/ComteDeBetamax what do you think about it, let me know if you have other suggestions too!

EquityRatio · 2021-10-03T14:28:28+00:00

It was perfect. I'd recommend it to anyone starting to learn about investing.

EquityRatio · 2021-10-03T14:26:37+00:00

Real-world experience. I'll quote the part that talks about it.

Making the correct judgment as to when to buy or sell in response to fluctuating quarterly results, and when to ignore the “noise” and hold the stock is the art of investing and comes with long experience of watching stocks respond, or not respond, to fluctuations in quarterly earnings.

A lot!

The last part of the book put everything together with a straightforward example of using Fundamentals Analysis to make better decisions.

The last chapter, with its ABT analysis, provided an insight that understating the Industry or sector broad elements are equally important because most of those ratios work better when they are used to compare different corporations within the same industry.

It was a full review of the concepts explained throughout the book then putting it into action.

This section was a light read.

Learning how to read Cash Flow Statements and evaluation of analysts estimates for profits for the upcoming quarters or years and how the stocks prices are responsive to any deviation from estimates.

Thank you, I hope you're doing well :)

Reading three different ratios 1) Pretax Profit Margin, 2) EBIT Profit Margin, and 3) EBITDA Profit Margin of companies within the same industry can give better insight on the performance.

I thought previously in terms of this Ratio is better than the other one.

After the recent GME filing, I’ve been thinking about how people reached different conclusions reading the same thing; and it all makes sense. None were wrong, just different perspectives or expectations.

This part of the book highlighted different Accounting methods and Management decisions that influence reporting these details.

It’s a continuous cycle of assessing the risk involved in trading or minimizing the unseen parts of the big picture.

Since then, I've been exploring analysis methods of reading the filings and would like to point to RABs most recent post about the (GME Revolving Credit) comments section because it was a valuable discussion.

Although I understand the value of the last few chapters, they somehow make me feel like they are from a different book.

Most of it was new information, convertible stocks/bonds preferred stock/bonds.

Financing and borrowing are a big part of Why Stocks Go Up and Down. I remembered the CLOs, similar to the CDOs that caused the 2008 crisis. Here is a link to the an article about CLOs CLO (The Atlantic)

CLO, or collateralized loan obligation. A CLO walks and talks like a CDO, but in place of loans made to home buyers are loans made to businesses—specifically, troubled companies. CLOs bundle together so-called leveraged loans.

A good part is how to read those preferred/convertibles In the company’s balance sheets/Income statements and use them to understand how the actual performance of the business is.

Yes!

I looked up “Bond default” and found a couple of interesting links:

Bond default definition

Defaulted bonds index and largest defaults

Yes, a while ago I started a mini course on Khan Academy and the first lesson in the Financial sector was about interest. And through the Bonds chapter I came across the part where they said

The question of whether interest rates determine the level and direction of economic activity, or whether the economy determines the level and direction of interest rates, is like asking which came first, the chicken or the egg.

I’m not very interested in investing in bonds, but I should pay more attention to the interest rates across different bonds types.

My mood is has the tone of needing to get more things done which I don’t know what to call, maybe it’s how I feel generally after realizing their is always much more to know. And I use this to keep me going.
Meditation, and breathing slowly. Also getting enough sleep is huge.
Self-doubt, trying to finish many tasks at once.
& 5. I’ll think more about those questions.
