Our assignment was to prepare/present a case study. I (accounting major) was paired with 2 terrific team members: an Economics and a Marketing major.<BR/><BR/>Our study was on Anheuser Busch. We lived and breathed it for several weeks, and gave a knockout presentation. I told my Dad (this was in 1981) that he ought to buy some of the stock. Had I not been a poor college student at the time.<BR/><BR/>Targeting promising companies, reading filings reports, visiting their website, listening to conference calls and putting buy candidates on watch lists and watching them carefully has been the most successful strategy for me. I do most poorly when I stray from that format. It is time consuming, but your point about microscopic details is important.<BR/><BR/>I wrote on another post regarding TNH that I didn't have the conviction to hang on. What I really lacked was confidence in my own judgment. I couldn't understand why NO OTHER MARKET EXPERT was writing about the opportunity in these stocks due to NG going down. So I figured that I must have been wrong. NOT! It was the microscopic details like understanding that for every $1 (unhedged) that NG fell resulted in $25M falling to the bottom line. So when NG was at $15 and went down to below what $6? you get good earnings and special dividends.<BR/><BR/>I think that the hardest thing for investors like myself (read amateurs) is to trust your work and your judgment. Patience truly is a virtue, and you can be patient so long as you are not stupidly positioned.<BR/><BR/>Didn't meant to right a treatise.Leisa♠https://www.blogger.com/profile/10237875938400587600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20374666.post-20337907909623396212007-02-25T09:13:00.000-05:002007-02-25T09:13:00.000-05:00Superperformance Stocks by Richard Love.
