This video made me realize just how outrageous those investment TikToks and internet gurus really are when they talk about investment being easy. It really is a highly-technical job with years of experience required and not something you can do by finding silly "patterns" on a graph in your bedroom. Thank you Bagel, for opening my eyes.
Which is why I'm perfectly content to just throw my money in an ETF and let it ride. I ain't got the time nor the skill to run with the professionals, so why would I think I can beat them at their own game?
@@ArawnOfAnnwn I've had decent success with my 3 fund (Boglehead) portfolio. The three ETF's I currently own are: VTI, BND and VXUS. There are of course different ETF's you can use (like VOO instead of VTI for example).
You demonstrate just how much work goes into your job beneath the veil, the fact you can do this and run a youtube channel is a testament to your work ethic - thank you Richard
This is why I love this channel. An actual professional showing how actual research is done. So many people these days say they “researched” something when they really just mean they read what other people said about it on Twitter 😂
This is a really good concise guide on how to do fundamental analysis. When people say “do your own research”, they never say how to do it. Kudos to you for changing that!
@@alexweitz To go in-depth, yes. But that kind of depth would also involve revealing proprietary information from his employer that he would not want to reveal. But a basic overview could be done in a normal-length video or short series. And I wouldn't want one of the very top stocks that gets all the headlines anyway. Something random from the bottom 100 of the S&P 500 or somewhere around there would be ideal.
Totally agree. Bloom Berg excel plug in has saved me so much time. All I have to do is input the ticker and all of the data I am interested in is organized instantly. (Instead of spending 10 minutes inputting different commands into bloomberg)
How do i make money from the market crash? i want to redistribute around $200K stocks in my portfolio. what strategy should I use to maximize gains rn.
stock market crying with little down tick while we have been dealing with double digit real inflation for a year. consult with an advisor so you don't get burnt in the market.
you are completely right, Advisors have information and paths that are not disclosed to the public.. I profited $560k in 2023 under the tutelage of my Fiduciary-counselor. Am I selling? Absolutely not.. I am going to sit back and observe how this all plays out.
I'm intrigued by this. I've searched for financial advisors online but it's kind of hard to get in touch with one. Okay if I ask you for a recommendation?
'Sharon Ann Meny' is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment
really great info. I think it's also worth pointing out specifically that the important thing is understanding how to evaluate a stock and not just blindly following a method you find online. Too many people just try to copy what they think successful people do without having any idea of what any of it means and seeing it just as abstract numbers. I know you talk about this a lot in other videos.
Yeah. I've found for me looking at valuation first is best since I can then remove a lot of unnecessary contenders for more interesting ones. Like if something is down 99% all time or it's at a 200 PE growing 30%/y then I'll look into it for a very short time and often conclude it's not worth it. Then I don't waste time.
@@fanban2926 Right. I agree you. Adding a few valuation criteria to your screener is what I've always done as well. But I think his point to saving that to the end of the process was so that he didn't pollute his decision of whether its a good long term company with any short term performance misstep the company may be finding itself in right now. If it turns out to be a good company long term based on his first four steps, but with short term troubles, then put it on the watchlist and monitor for the eventual turn around.
@@ajp642 I was literally going to suggest Prof. Damodaran, too. Though fair warning, the classes are long, detailed, and sometimes they get boring. But that's the nature of the beast when you really want to learn something, isn't it? It isn't always exciting.
0:53. I REALLY appreciate you starting with the statistics of how strong the S&P500. Back when I knew absolutely nothing about investing, all I saw were channels from people going over what to do. Had I known that it would be extremely difficult to beat the S&P500, I wouldn't have spent all that time researching company reports.
Wow, I really needed this content, I am currently studying Financial Management and I want to work in the field of investment management soon.

Exciting times for semiconductor stocks TSMC, AMD and NVDA. which are all experiencing a surge in value. It's interesting to watch the competition develop, given these stocks are major contributors to Al chip growth. On the increase of my personal holdings, I've witnessed amazing impact on my shares.
Intel and AMD will definitely have their share of the market. TSMC is at max capacity and investing in other semiconductor companies will be an absolute power move, Different chips are good at different things and Nvidia has been very specialised, which leaves other aspects of Al open.
certainly, i had bought NVDA shares at $300, $475 cheap b4 the 10 for 1 split and with huge interest I keep adding, i’m currently doings the same for PLTR, POET and AMD constructively. Best possible way to get ahead, is participating behind top experienced performers.
I agree, i own three business, right now I'm compiling and picking stocks that l'd love to hold on to for a few years before retirement, do you think these stocks would do better over the years? My goal is to have at least $2 million saved for retirement.
Really impressive summary - went in my permanent save watch-list for all the useful information. IMHO though, I think this level of analysis can present the risk of analysis paralysis for the somebody interested in picking stocks. It's often been said by the like of Buffet and Lynch that temperament plays a hugely important role - can do all the analysis in the world but if somebody doesn't have the nerve they'll end up selling the moment there's a slight downturn. In my own experience I've found learning and expanding my understanding makes it much easier to not worry. Perfect example was last year and the tech sell-off. I understood why a profitless Uber would be losing market share but Microsoft made no sense at all. Sure interest rates were climbing and again companies operating off debt will be in trouble but Microsoft sits on more loot than Smaug and has a credit rating better than the US Government. So I wasn't worried in the slightest over the tech stock price slide, I knew much of my portfolio would be coming back.
Probably not with the frankness required. I imagine some of the conversations about some stocks are pretty brutal, and would likely just be a headache to have to deal with the PR backlash from said company or fans of the company. Additionally, I think this falls into the category of not giving stock picks.
... NVDA has some of the WORST metrics in the semiconductor space. It's so overpriced and growth-oriented I don't know how you got to that conclusion based on this video. I'm not saying it's bad; I'm saying the principles laid out in this video doesn't support your conclusion
Yahoo: no one might use their search engine, and they might be made fun of for the quality of their news, but I love their financial page and news. I find their layout easiest to look at (for my amateur investor talents).
I know next to nothing about stocks or how to analyze them. But man I swear I could teach a class after this. Not one word you said was wasted. And there is something about your voice that’s easy to listen to. As a auditory learner this is profoundly helpful
I have learned DCF, dividend models, grenblattt books read, multiples. Of all possible, technical analysis made me the most money, without looking at fundemantals at all
Thank you so much Richard, I totally agree that investing every penny to my name into the Motley Fools “All In” stock is the key to being a successful investor 🙏🏼
Thank you so much for sharing the resources, such as EDGAR! It would be amazing if you could do a video doing an overview of open source informational resources that are available and reliable
Thank you so much. I will now rest easier buying indexes. Up until this point I just felt lazy. But with all the work I am doing there is simply no space for all this(which I wanted to do if I were to go into buying solo stocks). So many people say "fundamentals", but no one has gone this much into it, making 10 minute surface level videos for 20second segments of this one and never getting anywhere.
Great summary, very informative. Something I have learnt very quickly after starting to tip my toes in the world of financial investments is that doing it right is really complicated, and if it was as easy as some "gurus" claim it to be, then everyone would be filthy rich.
I've been watching this channel for a while every now and then when RUclips recommends it, but this video actually made me subscribe, nice job! I have two questions I think could make a couple new videos: 1 - After the research, once the valuation becomes attractive, how do you think about position sizing? You mentioned dollar cost averaging within an acceptable valuation range, but how big are you willing to make the new position in a portfolio and how big are you allowing it to grow? And how do you decide the appropriate size for different stocks? 2 - What makes you think about selling? Maybe position sizing (previous question) has a role, but what about extreme overvaluation, fundamental changes in the company and the need to raise cash for an even more attractive opprtunity? Or do you see other situations where selling is necessary? Thanks!
I appreciate the subscription! Sizing is usually pretty easy; we’ll either take a full position (a set amount based on the portfolio size that leaves room for further buying up to a limit), or half a position if we think the stock may come down further but want to hedge our exposure. As for selling, that’s a tough one - we usually give a stock at least three years and then evaluate how it’s performing. I’ve trimmed when valuation became stretched but don’t often sell on valuation alone. The biggest thing I consider is whether management followed through on promises, or risks of permanent impairment (eg fundamental changes in the business/industry)
👍Great explainer of how a value investor does fundamental analysis. I'd like to know how a growth investor selects stocks and how Keynes selected stocks and ran a portfolio in only 30 minutes a day.
This is great. Thank you for posting. It seems very daunting though. Using public sources seems like it would take a week to analyze one company. At that rate it would take just under 10 years to analyze every company in the S&P 500.
Which is why he does mention that you are better off letting the professionals do the work they have a dedicated staff that gathers information. This is probably why you need to be interested in the company or field the company is in because you probably find that you have some general understanding and maybe spot problems faster
Amazing Amazing presentation !Thank you! Please Keep it coming where you can make it easier and easier for many new investors to understand the importance of researching a stock before getting into it.
Thank you so much for giving this complete overview on fundamental analysis. Even though the video is 20 minutes you have put together a lot of information in there. I have also watched some of your other videos and found those very informative and useful. Can you please do a video on your process when it comes to selling stocks in your portfolio? Like, how you decide when to sell part or entire holdings.
All your strategies are great. I'm just going to test it out and keep monitoring it. I am grateful to have you around to teach us how to do good work to make a profit and learn new market strategies. Thank you very much again.🌐
This sort of takes me back to my first week in Corporate Finance Course. Someone asked how can we tell which stocks and shares to invest in? And almost with missing a beat the prof replied, you are in the wrong class then you need to take Administrative Policy which was more the business strategy class that would discuss business fundamentals. It's like "The Big Short" when the advisor is talking to the stripper about mortgages and immediately cuts to him on the phone "He's right there is a bubble."
Awesome video! Extremely detailed and concise .... Plain Bagel would be permit to make this video a video series breaking down what you can and the process
For some criticism you asked: 8:39 I wouldn't say "adjusted" means "not adhering to accounting rules". Iirc, IAS 1 literally prescribes management to report these adjustments if the prescribed methods would materially misrepresent the company's position. So I agree it that it could be used to make company look good, but it can equally make a successful company not look bad. This is doubly important for the US, as GAAP IFRS double reporting can present two entirely different sets of ratios.
Thank you for demonstrating why most people are better served by using a professional or just passive index. Can you make video about robo advisers? A part of my portfolio is managed by Fidelity's robo advisor. I would like to hear what you have to say about robo vs target date funds. Thank you.
Thank you brother. I do like how you cover current events and your original content but some practical know how from you is valuable. I know I still have to do the legwork but this helps. Wishing you continued success.
Great video! I would add that the stock analysis on the short run is highly driven by market dynamics, so a stochastic model is needed (like montecarlo or black-scholes-merton). The process in this video is better for the stock's asymptotic convergence, an ECM origination or to better value the company, but for stock transactions, modeling is pivotal.
Curious about the execution side of things. How do you size up a position, do you DCA into it or buy-in over time using technicals/quant indicators, or do you lump-sum all of the allocation. And is that done in-house or via S&T/block trades. When would you go for derivatives, debt instruments, or warrants over just the equity/shares, etc. You could definitely add many parts to this and do a video series.
Top tip for plebs, research and invest in the companies that you already keep track of for non-financial motives. If you’re already keeping track of thr company before you invest in them, you’re going to have much more knowledge about a company than most analysts.
this is why I watch you and Patrick Boyle and not that hype bunch of fake economics gurus on YT. I didn't understand a bit of what you said, but it is clear that you are not a random guy on the interwebs, making "non-financial advises" and then inviting me to join his online course to get rich quick :)
Golden nuggets in this video! Except that I absolutely fixed a sink after watching a plumber explain how to do so on RUclips. Unfortunately the reality of trading or investing is much complicated!
One of the best fonancial channels and i hope it stays away from stock picking. I was bit surprised by the DCF model despite being blurry. I am skeptical of models with a gazillion inputs, as each one is a potential source of error. Not even Aswath Damodaran's model seems to be that complex. Just my humble opinion.
Great video, it would be interesting a video comparing pros and cons of fundamental analysis and quantitative investing especially for bigger account that can afford to diversify in hundreds of equity (in this case I see several advantages of the quant investing in particular for the less experienced investors)
I am regretting not investing in Nvidia stocks ever since my wife did. But still grateful i kept money in the money market. With about $200k maturing soon, i plan investing well in it. But then what other stocks should I look into as a newbie to safely grow my money?
Thats when you hire someone to manage your money. You need a (CFP) straight up! personally, I would invest in ETF's and also love investing in individual stocks.
I took charge of my portfolio but faced losses in 2022. Realizing the need for a change, I sought advice from a fiduciary advisor. Through restructuring and diversification with dividend stocks, ETFs, Mutual funds, and REITs, my $1.2M portfolio surged, yielding an annualized gain of 28%.
'Natalie Ann Brinkman'. One of the finest portfolio managers in the field also widely recognized. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with and set up an appointment.
Could you do a video about becoming an analyst? What education is required, how likely is it to find a career, salary scale, perks to the career, what it’s like when your just beginning the career and more. Thanks
Incredible man. Really makes you think about all of these day-traders and 'buy my course' types of guys. Do they even analyze wtf they're buying? Thanks for the vid 🐻

2 - What makes you think about selling? Maybe position sizing (previous question) has a role, but what about extreme overvaluation, fundamental changes in the company and the need to raise cash for an even more attractive opprtunity? Or do you see other situations where selling is necessary?
Thanks!
I appreciate the subscription! Sizing is usually pretty easy; we’ll either take a full position (a set amount based on the portfolio size that leaves room for further buying up to a limit), or half a position if we think the stock may come down further but want to hedge our exposure. As for selling, that’s a tough one - we usually give a stock at least three years and then evaluate how it’s performing. I’ve trimmed when valuation became stretched but don’t often sell on valuation alone. The biggest thing I consider is whether management followed through on promises, or risks of permanent impairment (eg fundamental changes in the business/industry)
I really enjoyed this video, very focused on the topic and not drifting off topic for humor sake.
Awesome stuff, you gained a new subscriber
👍Great explainer of how a value investor does fundamental analysis.
I'd like to know how a growth investor selects stocks and how Keynes selected stocks and ran a portfolio in only 30 minutes a day.
This is great. Thank you for posting. It seems very daunting though. Using public sources seems like it would take a week to analyze one company. At that rate it would take just under 10 years to analyze every company in the S&P 500.
Bagel did mention that he sometimes takes a week or two to analyze a company.
Which is why he does mention that you are better off letting the professionals do the work they have a dedicated staff that gathers information. This is probably why you need to be interested in the company or field the company is in because you probably find that you have some general understanding and maybe spot problems faster
@@lostboy8084Having industry knowledge is a must imo, otherwise you're doomed.
Amazing Amazing presentation !Thank you! Please Keep it coming where you can make it easier and easier for many new investors to understand the importance of researching a stock before getting into it.
I hope this is a continuing series , would love to see more of such videos
This is my favourite youtube channel thank you for the teacing. I like you and love you
Just checking what different people mention about how to research stocks,on point
¡Gran trabajo explicando el uso de las bandas de Bollinger! Estoy empezando a integrar esto en mi estrategia.
Thank you so much for giving this complete overview on fundamental analysis. Even though the video is 20 minutes you have put together a lot of information in there.
I have also watched some of your other videos and found those very informative and useful.
Can you please do a video on your process when it comes to selling stocks in your portfolio? Like, how you decide when to sell part or entire holdings.
As a general rule of thumb, I smash the like button even before hearing what the video is about
Thank you. I learned so much from you & George Gammon/Rebel Capitalist.
Wow! You are a principality, with due respect this is mind blowing
Very Damodaran approach
Thank you for sharing with regular people a path to better investing.
All your strategies are great. I'm just going to test it out and keep monitoring it. I am grateful to have you around to teach us how to do good work to make a profit and learn new market strategies. Thank you very much again.🌐
This sort of takes me back to my first week in Corporate Finance Course. Someone asked how can we tell which stocks and shares to invest in? And almost with missing a beat the prof replied, you are in the wrong class then you need to take Administrative Policy which was more the business strategy class that would discuss business fundamentals. It's like "The Big Short" when the advisor is talking to the stripper about mortgages and immediately cuts to him on the phone "He's right there is a bubble."
Awesome video! Extremely detailed and concise .... Plain Bagel would be permit to make this video a video series breaking down what you can and the process
I would love for you to do a video comparing the main investing approaches: growth vs value, technical vs quantitative vs fundamental, etc.
For some criticism you asked:
8:39 I wouldn't say "adjusted" means "not adhering to accounting rules". Iirc, IAS 1 literally prescribes management to report these adjustments if the prescribed methods would materially misrepresent the company's position. So I agree it that it could be used to make company look good, but it can equally make a successful company not look bad. This is doubly important for the US, as GAAP IFRS double reporting can present two entirely different sets of ratios.
Thank you for demonstrating why most people are better served by using a professional or just passive index. Can you make video about robo advisers? A part of my portfolio is managed by Fidelity's robo advisor. I would like to hear what you have to say about robo vs target date funds. Thank you.
Thank you brother. I do like how you cover current events and your original content but some practical know how from you is valuable. I know I still have to do the legwork but this helps. Wishing you continued success.
Great video! I would add that the stock analysis on the short run is highly driven by market dynamics, so a stochastic model is needed (like montecarlo or black-scholes-merton). The process in this video is better for the stock's asymptotic convergence, an ECM origination or to better value the company, but for stock transactions, modeling is pivotal.
Thank you so much, even though I'm young I'll cherish this knowledge you have given us🎉
Thank you for this; it's convinced me to stay in ETFs and Mutual funds
Thanks, I'll sure to go back to this video once I have an idea on most of what you have said :D
Yeah a lot of jargon and static.
I've got 80 shares of vici properties and hope to have 100 by the end of the year. I think it's a good choice.
THIS is the content I've been wanting
Great educational content, thanks a lot!
Would like to watch one about selecting etf as there are a lot of them atm.
Seeing the level of research that goes into even one investment decision makes me really happy that I'm investing in index funds.
Curious about the execution side of things. How do you size up a position, do you DCA into it or buy-in over time using technicals/quant indicators, or do you lump-sum all of the allocation. And is that done in-house or via S&T/block trades. When would you go for derivatives, debt instruments, or warrants over just the equity/shares, etc. You could definitely add many parts to this and do a video series.
This video is so golden! Thank you for your dedication.
Well done! Bring on the bond analysis video!
Thanks u so very much you don't know how you have helped me and My family ️
Top tip for plebs, research and invest in the companies that you already keep track of for non-financial motives. If you’re already keeping track of thr company before you invest in them, you’re going to have much more knowledge about a company than most analysts.
this is why I watch you and Patrick Boyle and not that hype bunch of fake economics gurus on YT. I didn't understand a bit of what you said, but it is clear that you are not a random guy on the interwebs, making "non-financial advises" and then inviting me to join his online course to get rich quick :)
Best stock analysis software
Excellent video as always Plain Bagel, Im gonna stop right now at the beginning and watch it later.
Golden nuggets in this video!
Except that I absolutely fixed a sink after watching a plumber explain how to do so on RUclips. Unfortunately the reality of trading or investing is much complicated!
Very informative, I learned a lot about this topic.
This is gold, thank you very much for sharing this knowledge.
Like I said before best financial educational content on you tube.
Good stuff, I would love brief hand out to share with ppl who believe they can beat the market. I teach so something for a classroom would be nice.
loved this !! thank you for summarizing this and sharing the free to use tools
greatest video of all time
I was looking for a tutorial on making plain bagels, but this video was interesting too
One of the best fonancial channels and i hope it stays away from stock picking. I was bit surprised by the DCF model despite being blurry. I am skeptical of models with a gazillion inputs, as each one is a potential source of error. Not even Aswath Damodaran's model seems to be that complex. Just my humble opinion.
Thank you so much Richard, always quality content and this video is a fantastic insight I was keen on learning about.
Great video, it would be interesting a video comparing pros and cons of fundamental analysis and quantitative investing especially for bigger account that can afford to diversify in hundreds of equity (in this case I see several advantages of the quant investing in particular for the less experienced investors)
I am regretting not investing in Nvidia stocks ever since my wife did. But still grateful i kept money in the money market. With about $200k maturing soon, i plan investing well in it. But then what other stocks should I look into as a newbie to safely grow my money?
Thats when you hire someone to manage your money. You need a (CFP) straight up! personally, I would invest in ETF's and also love investing in individual stocks.
I took charge of my portfolio but faced losses in 2022. Realizing the need for a change, I sought advice from a fiduciary advisor. Through restructuring and diversification with dividend stocks, ETFs, Mutual funds, and REITs, my $1.2M portfolio surged, yielding an annualized gain of 28%.
Do you mind sharing info on the adviser who assisted you?
'Natalie Ann Brinkman'. One of the finest portfolio managers in the field also widely recognized. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with and set up an appointment.
Thank you for sharing. it was easy to find her, then I scheduled a phone call with her. She seems proficient considering her résumé.
you aid me in finding new indicators for analysis. i give you a like and a comment. a fairer trade has never seen the light of day
Could you do a video about becoming an analyst? What education is required, how likely is it to find a career, salary scale, perks to the career, what it’s like when your just beginning the career and more. Thanks
Great analyses. You made it look simple.
This is a really useful and unique video, thanks dear Bagel
Thank you. I learned a lot. I will share this channel to my friends.
Incredible man. Really makes you think about all of these day-traders and 'buy my course' types of guys. Do they even analyze wtf they're buying? Thanks for the vid 🐻
