Investing
-
Buy Low
Buy low, sell high is easy to say, but much harder to trigger when blood is trickling in the streets. — Sakfucius
-
Financial Freedom
The best thing a person can do to achieve financial freedom is to start tracking their net worth monthly. — Sakfucius
-
Think for Yourself
Of course Wall Street chants ‘you can’t consistently beat the S&P 500’ so invest with us. Think clearly, do the math, yes you can, and it’s worth the effort. — Sakfucius
-
Diversification
Only diversify as much as prudent but not more. The goal is to prevent loss of too much capital on a mistake, balanced against investing as much as possible in your best ideas. — Sakfucius
-
Money Buys Time
Being able to do what you want, when you want, for however long you want is worth much more than buying fancy stuff. — Sakfucius
-
Stock Investing
Investing in stocks is simply predicting the future prospects and competitiveness of companies. Simple, but not always easy. — Sakfucius
-
Investor Do Nots
Don’t invest in stocks or industries that you don’t understand. Don’t trust investment advice without triple-checking it. Don’t turn over the keys to someone else without oversight. Money attracts a lot of sharks. — Sakfucius
-
Risk Free
If someone sells an investment as a sure thing with extraordinary returns, run away. If any investment like this existed, it would be kept secret. — Sakfucius
-
Incremental
We often spend too much time on a project for scant upside gain. Are you investing time where you have the best incremental benefits? — Sakfucius
-
Investing Discipline
What’s your formula for investing in capital markets? If you don’t have one — in ink — you won’t be disciplined when buying or selling. — Sakfucius
-
Traders Luck
Don’t trade unless you know something others don’t. Guessing what earnings, guidance, and market reaction will be, is an easy way to lose your capital and have to start over. — Sakfucius
-
Mr. Market
In the short term, the stock market is all about popularity but in the long run, it’s all about the numbers. Patient investors generally win. — Sakfucius
-
Abundance
Do you see a world of abundant opportunity or a world of limited opportunity? Your perception becomes your horizon of possibility. — Sakfucius
-
Wealth Possible
Eventual wealth is quite likely, if you start early, save 10% of what you earn, invest wisely, and stay out of debt. Do you save 10% that you leave invested? — Sakfucius
-
Time Asset
Do you manage where you invest your time? Time is your most valuable asset. It deserves a thoughtful approach. — Sakfucius
-
Tips are Traps
Hot tips are tantalizing. Do your research on an investment and don’t get in a hurry. Tipsters are often the end of a rumor started my one person and modified many times along the way. — Sakfucius
-
Horses
Investing can be imagined as money riding on a horse to a distant destination. If you picked the wrong horse and a stock comes up lame, change horses. — Sakfucius
-
Join the Longview Club
In the short-term, an individual stock price is often a popularity contest, but in the longer term, stock prices reflect the real growth in earnings per share and cash flow. — Sakfucius
-
Rewards of Capitalism
Capitalism rewards business ownership; therefore, invest in healthy businesses at a fair price. — Sakfucius
-
Your Wheelhouse
Invest in businesses and industries that you understand, not hot tips in mysterious corners of the equity universe. — Sakfucius
-
When to Sell
Don’t sell a stock when it is at an all time high. Sell it when it is clearly overvalued and irrationally popular. — Sakfucius
-
Patient Investing
95% of people in the market lack patience and conviction, so patience is your opportunity and superpower. – Sakfucius
