Debt is a killer. As we go toward a recession, you're already starting to see companies fold up because they've got debt. Debt can be a terminal problem. So getting a bargain on a company with a terminal problem isn't the way we want to go. We don't want to buy fair businesses at wonderful prices. We want to buy wonderful businesses at fair prices.
In their final show on the investing question mark that is Netflix, Phil and Danielle use the entertainment and streaming company as a case study to help you understand how to handle investing in a company if you can’t figure out if it has an intrinsic value.
While most of the companies you invest in seem to be clear-cut, there could be some outliers. So how do you handle them? What are the red flags? How do you identify the moat?
