5. Photo Recap

6. Investing Pitfalls 1. Letting stock prices fool you 2. Too short of a time horizon 3. Being manipulated by media 4. Choosing cheap bargains over great businesses 5. Buying what you don’t understand Image Here

7. Stock Prices  Extrinsic vs. Intrinsic value  A company’s real worth is often different from its book price  Overvalue vs. Understated  Hype train vs. understated  P/E ratio Don’t let a single statistic or factor influence your expectations towards a company – analyze it in a holistic approach, try to understand the whole story.  Be wary of the process of “averaging down”  Buying more shares in a company at lower prices than you originally bought them at – this brings the average price you've paid for all your shares down. Sometimes its better to ditch a stock and avoid sunken costs.  NEVER let others’ opinions influence your own before you’ve made a complete evaluation.

8. Intro to Financials, Dividends  The Trifecta:  Income statement  Balance sheet  Cash flow (You can find these on Google/Yahoo Finance, or Morningstar)  Deeper analysis: Annual Reports  Email companies’ Investor Relations for a free copy  Secondary source: evaluations done by Odlum Brown, Morningstar, etc.  Dividends  Earning you cash for simply owning a stock  Paid out of a company’s earnings to ensure shareholder loyalty Different management strategies may remove dividend payments all together – to direct all of a company’s earnings into efforts such as expansion.
