How do you handle market drops, like we witnessed earlier this year? What’s your response to fear in the market, or in a company…when investors and shareholders are running for the exits? I recently gave a speech in front of several groups on this answer, using the content in the video below. I recorded this video shortly after giving my presentations. As Margin of Safety Investors, we do our best to […]
It’s a good feeling when you’ve found a wonderful company to invest in, and when you’ve done the research needed to decide you want to buy it. It’s an even better feeling when your margin of safety price hits, and it’s time to pull the trigger on your investment. When that time comes, how much do you buy? 1 share? 1% of your account? 4% of your account? 20%? Do […]
The news shocked the markets…Amazon (AMZN), in their bid to conquer yet another retail sector, made a massive move into the grocery space last Friday, agreeing to buy Whole Foods Market (WFM) for $13.7 billion, at $42/share.

We’ve been talking a lot between the two of us over the last week about what a Donald Trump win means for us, the economy, and the financial markets.

The market has continued to deliver non-stop action as we wrap up the second month of 2016. The number of triple digit gains/losses for the Dow Jones average, increase in overall volatility, and almost daily large swings in individual stocks has provided opportunity and excitement for a lot of us. 35% gains in KORS, 25% gains in DECK, 12% gains in LOPE, and multiple gains in oil stocks have already […]
Wow. It’s been a pretty crazy, up and down (mostly down) time in the stock market since the start of the new year. I can’t say it’s surprising. What with China’s slowing growth, the price of oil dropping like a brick, Federal Reserve’s interest rate increase, and the fact that stocks have been pretty overvalued for a while now…we have been due for a correction in prices for quite some […]
Let me give you an idea of what I’ve found to be the biggest motivator to learn how to become a proficient stock market investor. We’ve thrown the 12% number around before. We believe that once you’ve learned how to correctly invest in stocks, you will have the power to realize annualized 12% returns going forward.
