10-15 mins Find latest AR and also 5 years ago AR and read the financial statement
(50% stop after this)
1 - 2 hours Read chairman statements, read shareholder statistics, read VB.com
(50% stop after this)
By now, this one stock will be under my watchlist, waiting for me to jump in.
[*]How do you screen for suitable stocks?
I don't screen for suitable stocks, I screen out those not suitable stocks.
I learn from a ValueBuddies saying: go for 1 foot pole instead of trying to clear 7 foot pole.
[*]Do value investors actually use DCF to value a stock / value to arrive at its intrinsic value?
What is this?
![[Image: Howard%20marks%20quote.JPG]](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10699681/Howard%20marks%20quote.JPG) To me it's the same as WB's Rule No. 1 and Rule No. 2. And yes "K too Ho my "KK". i can tell you it's very difficult to "K too Ho, my "KK".
My 2 cents.
WB:-
1) Rule # 1, do not lose money.
2) Rule # 2, refer to # 1.
3) Not until you can manage your emotions, you can manage your money.
Truism of Investments.
A) Buying a security is buying RISK not Return
B) You can control RISK (to a certain level, hopefully only.) But definitely not the outcome of the Return.
NB:-
My signature is meant for psychoing myself. No offence to anyone. i am trying not to lose money unnecessary anymore.

My 2 cents.
To add, li kashing also mentioned about being exposed to new things. Never be too comfortable doing the same thing everyday. Each person met is an opportunity to learn what he knows that you do not know.
If one has been used to the same routine, do things differently and try new things.
When younger i tended to avoid gathering. Social gatherings are good opportunities to meet and learn from new people. It need not be for business that very moment, but you know if and when opportunities arise. Chinese saying goes "jing shui lou tai xian de yue". Be open to ideas and therefore the forefront of opportunities.
And you are right. Reading is a very good way to broaden and deepen our understanding of the markets. Its also a good way to learn the 8th wonder of the world.... That is the follies of mankind. Where we are able to learn and appreciate this 8th wonder, we also will be better able to avoid the 9th wonder (no prizes for guessing whats the 9th) which is the constant repeat of the 8th wonder from time to time. I
Just my 2 cents
The thing I am scared most is not nightmares or market crashes..... Its my greed that I fear the most.
When people ask what is my target price, I never have any good answer for it because Philip Fisher said before (in Common Stock Uncommon Profit) that the best time to sell is never. Equity investment is buying into ownership, not betting slips.
The path to greatness and wealth is necessarily dangerous.... because greed is a fearsome fore that threatens your success at every step.

I just finished reading it. Easy read and provides some interesting insights. While it's just a compilation, it's nicely categorised, helping to put the articles into perspective of each other.

Hi all, dedicated my first post to this question in value investing.
Keeping overall fees (brokerage fees, clearing fee, trading fee) low is one of my goals when investing. I am trying to understand, with my limited knowledge, how does one keep it low with DCA (aside from going to the firm with the lowest fees)? Do you guys put in thousands of dollars every month so that you can make the fees more justifiable? My impression of DCA is for poor man like me that can only afford hundreds.. And if we talk about hundreds, these fees will add up like an estimated of 30$ per month.
