InvestED: The Rule #1 Investing Podcast

To novices and outsiders, the practice of investing can appear intimidating and overwhelming. However, despite the seemingly high barriers to entry and understanding market dynamics, an investor’s IQ matters less than their ability to be disciplined, patient, and emotionally detached from their investments.

In fact, this applies even more to newcomers than it does to seasoned investors, as working with more capital can make it difficult to find impactful investments compared to a modest portfolio. As you grow in your investing practice, those added complications can be countered by an expanded circle of competence and deeper market knowledge.

This week, Phil and Danielle discuss how an investor’s mental state and learned habits can aid their investing journey more than their sheer brain power. They also dig into the ongoing antitrust trial over Google’s practices and what the outcome could mean for the tech world.

Your circle of competence is the cornerstone of smart investing. Expanding your knowledge as you grow keeps your skills sharp and your strategy strong.
When you focus on what you know best, you gain a clearer view of potential investments. This clarity can help you navigate market shifts with greater confidence and resilience than when you’re taking on an investment with more unknowns.
In this episode, Phil and Danielle discuss how your perspectives can change over the years, and how expanding and refining your circle of confidence can use that change to your advantage.

492- Questionable Mastery

So a business you own is undergoing an event that’s made the future less certain—so what’s your next move as a value investor? Finding the right time to sell can be difficult when the M.O. is to buy and hold, but knowing when to break with an investment can be just as important as knowing what to buy in the first place.
Investing success hinges on finding antifragile companies—those that thrive in adversity and compound growth over time. Focusing on a few resilient businesses, rather than over-diversifying, leads to better long-term returns, especially during downturns.
Rather than timing the market, investors should prioritize companies with strong fundamentals and compounding potential. Patience and discipline are vital to benefit from their growth through adversity.
On this week’s show, Phil and Danielle discuss how to approach your investments having events and what the Rule #1 philosophy can tell us about these situations.

Free cash flow is a key metric in value investing. It provides a more reliable view of a company’s financial health than its earnings, which can be influenced by creative accounting. By focusing on free cash flow, investors can identify financially solid companies with long-term potential and reduce reliance on speculation.

As we close out 2024 and as InvestED nears its 500th episode, this week we’re looking back on an episode from very early in the show’s run. This Vault pull serves as an excellent primer to anyone who’s new to the show and gives a great overview of Rule #1/Buffett-style investing.

495- FROM THE VAULT: Understanding Free Cash Flow

Engaging in any form of investment involves some level of uncertainty. While it's natural to feel proud of our achievements, it's equally important to analyze our process when things go wrong.

As with anything in life, if we practice value investing for long enough, we’ll inevitably make some missteps. By reflecting on failures, we uncover insights and lessons that not only strengthen our decision-making but also help us grow as more informed and resilient investors.

On this Vault episode we look back on the troubled story of Horsehead Holdings, and Phil dives into his connection to the company and what he took away from his experience watching a business defy expectations.

In an era of fast fashion and planned obsolescence, companies that stand behind their products in the long run seem to few and far between. A company’s warranty policy can be enlightening as both a consumer and an investor, and can also inform us about the customer base in that industry.

With some businesses updating their former “lifetime” warranties to cover shorter periods of time, how can we know whether those changes are due to declining quality or potential abuse from customers trying to take advantage?

Join Danielle as she takes a look at a new policy from one of her favorite companies, as well as some other examples from well-known companies, and what that means for the value investor.
