The Power of Alternative Data in Investing
There's a lot of alternative data out there and I think it deserves more attention than it gets. The traditional analysis focuses on the three financial statements, and although that is useful, it's rarely enough to be a great investor. This video is all about alternative data, with the goal of understanding the customer better, the company, the management, and its culture, as well as whether there's a market or business trend. Alternative data is heavily used by the large companies, and although some of it is expensive, there's a lot that is free and easily accessible.

    I think it's also important to think about what product/service the company makes and if the clientele are satisfied. Also, if this company offers something unique to the market. And also assessing the value of brand value. I think there are many business "intangibles" that are important to investing that are not discussed in this video. I still am mostly in agreement with the majority of the video!

    they still have 3.8 million subscribers (reported) that's pretty good reoccurring revenue; even if it dropped to 900k subscribers that's still good money to buy into a company for. only way you could lose is if they go bankrupt which is just unlikely because at the end of the day they'll always have their share of the rental market; in my opinion; if they only had their rental service as the only thing they were offering i would thing the company would be at lest $10 a share which could still be undervalued.

      @kostadin_ristovski 3 месяца назад

      Hi there, you should be careful when focusing solely on the P/E for a company of this kind for the following two reasons: 1. Debt position - We had a low interest rate time behind us. If there's a significant debt position that needs to be refinanced, it will be at a higher rate, pushing the earnings down significantly. 2. Companies of this kind have significant fixed costs (such as factories/machinery). If there is decrease in demand, the fixed cost per car would significantly increase, and the margins would go down. I cannot promise you that I'll have the time to look into it in detail, but I might make a video on topics of this kind.

    As you said brands tend to be associated with some status so lack of investment in status association shouldn't work in the long run and if it does would be a significant change in consumers' behavior. However, the idea of investing in more discrete or local status symbols could actually make sense nowadays that people go after their own niche stars like influencers and similar. I'm unsure though whether ambassadors can have the same impact...
