Fundamental analysis & value investing 101. This video presents the 5 greatest takeaways from Benjamin Graham’s classic, The Interpretation of Financial Statements.

Top 5 takeaways from Benjamin Graham’s The Interpretation of Financial Statements:
00:00 Intro
02:04 1. Understanding the Income Statement and the Balance Sheet
05:13 2. Industry Specifics
07:53 3. Watered Stocks
09:35 4. The Liquidation Value of a Firm
11:29 5. Expected Returns of the Quantitative Investor
TL;DW:
- Know thy income statement and balance sheet
- Ratios are useful when considering the fundamentals of a company, but beware. If the numbers are healthy or not depends on the industry.
- It’s quite common that stocks are “watered” to look like they perform better than they actually do
- If a stock is priced lower than its current book value, the intelligent investor should take a closer look. This, could be a great value investing opportunity
- To achieve maximum portfolio returns, the value investor should do both a quantitative and qualitative analysis of his stock market investments
My goal with this channel is to help you make more money and improve your personal finances. How to become a millionaire? There are many ways to get there - investing in the stock market, becoming a stock trader, doing real estate investing, or why not becoming an entrepreneur? But whether you are interested in how to invest in stocks or investing strategies for creating passive income with rental properties - I hope to be able to provide you with a solution (or at least an idea) here. Warren Buffett - the greatest investor of our time - says that you should fill your mind with competing ideas and then see what makes sense to you. This channel is about filling your mind with those ideas. And in the process - upgrading your money-making toolbox.

Hey, great video - But when I try to apply this to a particular company, I get lost in all their accounting jargon. Would you be able to make a video explaining how to interpret a companies Filing History? Because I just seem to be looking at 40 pages of jargon (Most of which probably isn't even relevant)

If the value of the dollar is waiving on the faith and confidence of the people then at what point is the dollar bubble going to pop? We might pretend one pigeon shit is equivalent to 1 dollar which is might just realistically be. The fédérale is running the biggest ponzi scheme ever does anybody look into the numbers? If you dont own real estate or commodities then the net value of any given investor or the GDP then you pretty much might say that figure is what you are worth in pigeon shit. But yea ofcourse lets keep going on and believe the dollar currency is really worth something.
Personally I’ve read all of Graham’s books and I must say you do a great job summarizing his books

8:59 Very interesting point. The more assets a company has, the more room for depreciation, which negatively effects net income. "It's the income statement that reveals the real value of assets, not their arbitrary figures in the balance sheet." - Benjamin Graham.

Hope your channel grows to million subs, you deserve it you always do a goodjob in doing your vids :)
This just reaffirmed that I think in pictures. I struggle(d) with these ratios but watching your videos, completely made me understand these. (And I am really good at analysis). I don't even know how I made it out with a Finance degree lol! But I sure struggled (first option was Med....so...) Anyway. These are great. I am going to binge on all of them and will come out with a 'beware' sign. Game is on!
Huge fan of this page! Your videos are a must before making any investment book purchase. I just recently began my investment journey and there are so many books to sort through. Your videos help minimize the list. I’m grateful. Keep up the good work.

Can you also do a video on how you pick a particular stock and what things you looked for using a hybrid of all these approaches that you learnt? That would be a great learning for most of us I think - finding our own way to do this.

this is why I always take intangible assets off my analysis.
For those who are confused about "-B" at 3:23, it means literally remove the letter "B" from "EBIT". Took me a while to figure that out...

1:18 Wouldn't that be zero companies? A company jingle is an internally generated asset that can no longer be recognised on the balance sheet under US GAAP. The book was probably written before this change in accounting standards though.

Would like a series of questions that if I could answer would be suggestive of a good quality business if there is a resource somewhere.
I come from the security analysis video after struggling to understand the book by myself, then I have to put the Intelligent Investor video on queue after also failing to undestand the book fully and I also have to put the Common Stock and Uncommon Profits on the whatchlist after the mention on the video. This journey keeps getting larger and larger ain´t it, welp, guess I better get to work right?

I was not such a big fan of this book. I still own it and it is still on my shelf. I liked the rapid interpretation of financial statements by marry Buffett better. Felt like it taught the subject a lot easier and better. On that note, I also do not like or pay much attention to intangible assets unless the company is a massively well known company with a massive MOAT. Outside of that, I could care less about it. I try to find the meat and potatoes which is the actual stuff that matters. Good review though.
What software are you using to create these videos? Very nice 😎
which book is better this or the one with "warren buffett and the interpretation of financial statements"?
4:01 - those intangibles :D
Can you go through these strategies with a P&L statement?
Would you be able to do a more in-depth video about the P/B Ratio. Google says a fair number is between 1 and 3, but whenever I assess different companies I'm getting numbers from 10 right up to 95.
@akilansundaram2181
2 жыл бұрын
I am not sure if you are still interested but using a discounted cash flow approach would be better for making investment decisions. As far as book value is concerned, P/B's are typically lower for banking stocks, metal stocks, etc. While it is higher for high-growth companies, IT stocks, etc. So, a fair number would be dependent on the industry and the company's peers. A ratio below 1 is extremely undervalued provided the figures are stated honestly in the balance sheets and the business is profitable.
at 10:00 how do I know if all the assets is bloated or not if I want to calculate the book vaule?
There is more of this in Good cheap stock
Can you teach where to find annual report as well?
Stumbled upon this channel by chance. Great videos for finance fundamentals! Which software do you use for creating such animations?
do intangible depreciate?
As far as i know, book value should be equal to shareholder's equity or the difference between assets and liabilities. Your definition of p/b ratio ignores the debt of the company as it only has assets as the book value.

What exactly is the book value? You said it's either the Sum of Assets OR the Sum of Liabilities. I'm a bit confused. Thanks!
What do you mean removing the "before" in an income statement? Can you give an example? Thanks.

It was a nice joke ;-) You only remove Interest (I drops) and Taxes (T drops) from EBIT. So "earnings before interest and expenses" become only "earnings" (or net income)
