EPISODE
Phil Town believes that investing in the stock market doesn't need to be risky to be profitable, and that you can make money in absolutely any time and state of the market, especially in recessions. What we know of with mutual funds and the majority of hedge fund managers isn't what Phil considers investing - instead, they are simply speculating on how the market will perform, which is incredibly risky indeed. Instead, here's how you can find the true, measurable value of companies, and how to buy them on a sale price that is virtually guaranteed to make you a lot of money. We discuss:
- How to find a company with a durable competitive advantage
- Why modern portfolio theory doesn't account the fear and greed that rules the stock market
- Why diversification isn't the golden rule you thought it was
- How to tell if a company is on sale
