This Week's Lessons
This week's analysis highlighted several important principles for investors to consider:
- Price is what you pay; value is what the business's fundamentals suggest you get. Price is what you pay; value is what you get
- A P/E is only high or low next to the company's own history. Judge valuation against a stock's own history
- Analyst consensus is useful context, not gospel; it's one input among several. Treat analyst consensus as one input, not gospel
- Seasonal patterns are tendencies, not guarantees; treat them as a small nudge. Know seasonal tendencies, but don't over-trust them
- The jumpier the stock, the wider the range of outcomes to plan for. Higher volatility means wider outcomes
