wonderful write up....thanks for the summary KC. Just wished we have a few more people like KC who talks so much sense with substance (or common sense) in i3... it would really be a wonderful place-rich in information.

Would extent my thanks for 2016 & best wishes on 2017 to itsjustaboutheprofit, WealthWizard, Icon, Jay, OTB, Bone, RicheHo, enning22 , TanKW, CharlesT and all those who maintained a single long term id with logical comments..:)

It is always gd to put up a lot of articles using whatever basis u like...To me most the this book theory and approach just to create more jobs for ppl otherwise many will be jobless and economy will not grow if all choose to make money from stock market. However, to make big money the simplest approach always the best. If anyone had read what KYY put down how he made big in Supermax and the HK real estate company, obviously u can c he dare to hoot big during crisis. So, what it counts here is "Volume" and "Timing". Basically u just have to be patience wait for right timing to come...When it comes...must have confidence to load up even with margin...If u r mentally not prepare, no matter how well u master FA or TA, u r not going to be super investor.

Wow, you almost cover everything! Great work!

You don't have to be sorry for doing the right thing, i know why you write those passages, just to tell what is right/wrong.

The stock market is a complex adaptive system, everything changes with information flows and the acts of participants influence each other simultaneously too. Your hard work brings more logic and positive energy to the system.

Hi Chin Meow,

What a small world and the power of social media. You are two years my senior in MU Engineering. If I am not mistaken, a senior in Drainage and Irrigation Department too.

Great to hear from you, and merry Christmas.

Merry Xmas!!!.Well said 'einvest88'! Just follow Uncle Munger sitting on your 'ASS' investing. Uncle Buffett was changed by his right-hand man also. Buy a wonderful business at a fair price n Not a fair business at a wonderful price! Buy wz conviction, cause it takes only one opportunity to make u really Rich. D best is just buy 10 wonderful business wz full conviction n let d compounding rate of return do its job. Look for company wz double digits ROIC N ROE, net profit margin above 10% even recession, owner earnings growth n free cash flow growth average 7.2 %, EY more than 2X average AAA bond Yield, Dividend Yield of average AAA bond Yield. Zero debt or little liabilities below 5X owner earnings. Capex below 33% of owner earnings. Insiders are buying, plus company been buying back its shares. Gd luck!

This strategy is the best I have encountered.

It is strange that not more people are using this.

Fast growers, stalwarts, slow growers
Cyclicals
Asset Plays
Turnarounds

These are the 6 types of companies of Peter Lynch.

Are you wired to capture the investing opportunities of all these 6 groups of companies?

Price is what you pay, value is what you get.

Growers

Slow growers: Growth high single digits annually FCF +++ Dividends +++
Stalwarts: Growth 10% - 20% per year FCF +/++ Dividends +/++
Fast Growers: Growth >20% per year FCF -/+ Dividends minimal to nil
Don't we love the growers?
The danger here is the growth did not materialise.
Or the growth was short lived (short-lived growth).
The danger is overpaying for this growth.
Your better bet is to stay with businesses with durable (long term) competitive advantage.


Cyclicals
Do you know the business cycle of these companies?
These companies are to be bought and sold, not held for long term, usually.
Needs to have certain skill.
Not for the not so initiated.


Asset Plays
Can you value the assets?
Can you spot the undervalued assets before the other investors reprice them?


Turnarounds
These companies have fallen on hard time.
Slowly they are crawling out.
Can you spot them before the other investors do?
Many companies do not turnaround.


Unless you are very familiar with the industry, avoid cyclicals.
Investing in asset plays and turnarounds are challenging too.
Those invested in these may find their investments may remain in the rut longer than they can themselves remain solvent.
The reason being the other investors have not re-priced the stock in the manner of your thinking immediately or it maybe years before this repricing occurs.

Uncle Munger quote,' Our methodology is too simple, only arithmetic n lower algebra is enough. No need higher algebra or rocket science! That why it's not famous. Uncle Buffett talk about valuation using DCF method, but his right-hand man, never saw him did it actually. Too many variables involved. The two famous investors have strong understanding of its business, they use business common sense to value a business model. The company product or service must has a durable competitive advantage over its competitors, wide economic MOAT! Gd luck!

Chong: i3 is but a mere reflection of the market and the market being a complex voting machine, just consists of far too many complex personality. Which is why you cannot and should not expect others to follow and agree with your investment principals. In fact, there are those who will strongly disagree with you. As you know, you have strong conviction in your believes in stock investment principals, which is good but then, because of your sttong believes, some might find you arrogant and they would certainly be offended with what you write. It's just life. You cannot change this.


You are right that the market is a complex voting machine. I am just trying to tell my story that maybe it is good to treat it as a weighing machine eventually. Strange that people can get offended.

No, I never expect people to agree with me. That is not my problem.

Thanks for your comments.

Thank you very much for your comment. You know as a writer in this kind of forum, I always ponder whether it is worthwhile to spend time here here. But each time I read a comment like yours, it keeps me going again.

3iii,

Thank you very much for summarizing what I was trying to convey in a long winded article. Very good summary, including that part of "business sense".

Merry Christmas and Happy New year.

You do not have to be super-intelligent to do value investing. You need common sense and good judgement. Also, you require a refined intellectual framework that helps you resist your emotionak twmptation. You should adopt and incorporate the framework to meet your particular invesring needs.
