Ep #37 - Its a marathon and not a sprint. Yet more earnings! | $O $BASF $REE $MUV2
In this episode, we are running through some more earnings from Realty Income, BASF, Red Electrica and Munich RE and more!
We started with the news of the week.
👉 AT&T made the headlines with DirecTV again. Check out our thoughts and maybe a mini rant from european dgi
We discuss no fewer than 7 companies' earnings reports. It really is a marathon at this time of the year. But we love it!
Listener Questions:
This week we received several questions again from our loyal listeners
Phil Segler - How did your risk tolerance develop over the years? How did the size of a "standard purchase order" develop? (Example for me in the beginning it was 1k, then for a bit rather 2...3k, now moving towards 4...5k per order)
Dividend Dane - Question - “Falling in love” with certain stocks in both your portfolio and your watchlist is very common. Do you ever try to evaluate if there are better options out there?
Piotr - Do you have any rules or hints for averaging down? Actually, I increased Unilever after first drop and now seeing further drops have no idea about further increases
Tiago Dias - What do you think about using profit margins as a proxy to determine how high a companies PE ratio can be before it becomes a bad deal? i.e: $MSFT has around 36% profit margin, so a PE of 35 might be a better deal, compared to $ADM with margins around 5% and a PE of 17
Eduardo Garcia (aka Enzo): HI DGI, questions for the next program AHOLD DEL... report some issues related to pension programs in USA and EU, this is good or bad? or maybe normal. And why don’t European companies need to file something like a quarterly 10K?

👉 EMF shares his reflection on the news that Tesla had to call back 12.000 cars to fix an issue
Main topic:
A brief look at the different companies reporting their FY 2020 earnings.
Listener Questions:
This week we received several questions again from our loyal listeners
1️⃣ Phil - Assume a market at ATH, what would you do:
a) Stay with your key stocks, even if they are expensive
b) Wait until markets cool down
c) look for new companies on page 10 of google
2️⃣ Peter from Belgium (via email)
Do you take into account double taxation of dividends when selecting a stock?
For example: when I receive dividends from American stocks in Belgium it is taxed in the US at 15% and then again at 30% in Belgium. So almost half of the dividend is lost to taxes.
3️⃣ Rafa - Hi! I have a question, once you spotted a good company DGI, how do you assess when is the good moment to buy?do you trust only your CFdiscount model for valuation or do you look at PE forward, Shiller ratio, EV/EBITDA, FCF yield or FCF for Equity vs historical?
4️⃣ Richlan - How do you develop a buying strategy. Like I'm having trouble deciding how big my positions in each stock should be?
5️⃣ Piotr - When starting to build a div portfolio would you go for high yield but low growing stocks to boost investing capital at the beginning or would you focus on lower yield but high div growth?what is your favorite austrian stock? Mine is "mayr melnhof" from a dividend growth point of view
6️⃣ Dividendencheck - What is your favorite Austrian stock? Mine is “Mayr Melnhof” from a dividend growth point of view.
7️⃣ Dapper Dividends - What is an underrated dividend analysis metric?
Stock Pick
Last but not least, Dividend Wave shares his stock pick of the week. This week he shares his thoughts about Home Depot
