    Fundamental analysis & value investing 101. This video presents the 5 greatest takeaways from Benjamin Graham’s classic, The Interpretation of Financial Statements.
    A playlist that will help you in mastering Benjamin Graham’s art of Value Investing: bit.ly/2Txvxgd
    Top 5 takeaways from Benjamin Graham’s The Interpretation of Financial Statements:
    00:00 Intro
    02:04 1. Understanding the Income Statement and the Balance Sheet
    05:13 2. Industry Specifics
    07:53 3. Watered Stocks
    09:35 4. The Liquidation Value of a Firm
    11:29 5. Expected Returns of the Quantitative Investor
    TL;DW:
    - Know thy income statement and balance sheet
    - Ratios are useful when considering the fundamentals of a company, but beware. If the numbers are healthy or not depends on the industry.
    - It’s quite common that stocks are “watered” to look like they perform better than they actually do
    - If a stock is priced lower than its current book value, the intelligent investor should take a closer look. This, could be a great value investing opportunity
    - To achieve maximum portfolio returns, the value investor should do both a quantitative and qualitative analysis of his stock market investments
    My goal with this channel is to help you make more money and improve your personal finances. How to become a millionaire? There are many ways to get there - investing in the stock market, becoming a stock trader, doing real estate investing, or why not becoming an entrepreneur? But whether you are interested in how to invest in stocks or investing strategies for creating passive income with rental properties - I hope to be able to provide you with a solution (or at least an idea) here. Warren Buffett - the greatest investor of our time - says that you should fill your mind with competing ideas and then see what makes sense to you. This channel is about filling your mind with those ideas. And in the process - upgrading your money-making toolbox.

      Hey, great video - But when I try to apply this to a particular company, I get lost in all their accounting jargon.
      Would you be able to make a video explaining how to interpret a companies Filing History?
      Because I just seem to be looking at 40 pages of jargon (Most of which probably isn't even relevant)

      If the value of the dollar is waiving on the faith and confidence of the people then at what point is the dollar bubble going to pop? We might pretend one pigeon shit is equivalent to 1 dollar which is might just realistically be. The fédérale is running the biggest ponzi scheme ever does anybody look into the numbers? If you dont own real estate or commodities then the net value of any given investor or the GDP then you pretty much might say that figure is what you are worth in pigeon shit. But yea ofcourse lets keep going on and believe the dollar currency is really worth something.

    8:59 Very interesting point. The more assets a company has, the more room for depreciation, which negatively effects net income. "It's the income statement that reveals the real value of assets, not their arbitrary figures in the balance sheet." - Benjamin Graham.

    On that note, I also do not like or pay much attention to intangible assets unless the company is a massively well known company with a massive MOAT. Outside of that, I could care less about it. I try to find the meat and potatoes which is the actual stuff that matters. Good review though.

    Why is a 5% net margin for a health tech firm bad and for a distribution firm good? What variables of a firm does one use to decide whether a high low net margin or a high net margin is good or bad?
    How can one assess whether the P/B Ratio is good or not? How you refer to in the video, Mr. Swedish Investor, sir, a money bank may have a low P/B Ratio while a consulting firm has a high P/B , what decides if either is good or bad? What elements of the firm's industry decide whether it's good to have low or high P/B and do you have any guidelines for reasonable p/b ratios for industries?

    This focus on the analysis of a company’s balance sheets, operations and competitive value as the method of determining the future value is the wrong approach to take, it’s much better to analyse the market price curve and try to figure out some sort of mathematical property that will let your predict the future.

    Hi. I like your video’s and subscribed your channel. Could you please make a review of book “Security Analysis” by Benjamin Graham? Thanks.

    Would you be able to do a more in-depth video about the P/B Ratio. Google says a fair number is between 1 and 3, but whenever I assess different companies I'm getting numbers from 10 right up to 95.

      I am not sure if you are still interested but using a discounted cash flow approach would be better for making investment decisions.
      As far as book value is concerned, P/B's are typically lower for banking stocks, metal stocks, etc. While it is higher for high-growth companies, IT stocks, etc. So, a fair number would be dependent on the industry and the company's peers. A ratio below 1 is extremely undervalued provided the figures are stated honestly in the balance sheets and the business is profitable.
