Wisdom on Value Investing: How to Profit on Fallen Angels Summary - Chapter 6

Do not Buy Cheap Stock!!!

·         Do not buy cheap for the sake of buying cheap.
a.       A company that is part of a dying industry such as today’s large newspaper holding companies, might be a bad deal no matter how cheap the stock’s price.
b.      Not all marked-down stocks qualify as Fallen Angels; some companies deserve to be devalued and should not be purchased even if their share prices are depressed.

·         Good investing means stick with sectors and companies that are highly predictable.

·         Take advantage of errors others make, usually because they are too short term oriented, or they over react to dramatic events, or they overestimate the impacts of events and so on.
a.       Ideally, we like to know ahead of time what we want to buy, wait patiently, buy it when it goes on sale, and then hold it to reap the benefits of compounding after-tax rates of return.
b.      Program yourself to take advantage of opportunity quickly – if you have done your homework and determined a reasonable goal, and the price meets that goal, don’t wait.

·         2 critical elements of a Fallen Angels:
a.       Price below intrinsic value.

b.      The fundamentals are likely to propel it to future revenue and earnings growth.
