Buy and hold strategy: Easy explanation [Video]

In this video, you will learn about the buy and hold strategy. #buyandhold #investing #wallstreetmojo #warrenbuffet #financialmarkets Chapters: 00:00 – Introduction 00:37 – What is the buy and hold strategy? 01:26 – Examples 02:38 – Advantages 03:19 – Disadvantages 03:54 – Important points to note 04:45 – Conclusion What is the buy and hold strategy? The buy and hold strategy is a strategy in which investors buy or invest in assets for the long term, with no intentions of getting out of it in the short term. Such investors usually rely on fundamental analysis that includes factors like past performance, long term growth strategy, company management, etc. Buy and hold investors wouldn’t be affected by short-term market fluctuations, business cycles, or even inflation. Instead, they’d only focus on investing at the right price and staying invested for a long time. Examples We have taken an example in the video that will help you better understand the topic. So do check out the example section in the video. Advantages Since an investor using this strategy would buy the stock just once, overall, there are fewer transactions. Hence, brokerage, advisory fees, and commissions are low. Since investors hold their investments for the long term, the long term capital gains tax will apply to them, which is lower than short term capital gains tax. It is easy for investors to adopt this strategy as it requires stock selection just once and doesn’t require investors to constantly track stock prices. Disadvantages The buy and hold strategy will test an investor’s behavioral biases and emotions in case the prices fall. Hence, investors will need to have high risk tolerance as the buy and hold strategy is easy to implement but is hard to follow with discipline. Also, investors holding the stock for the long term, through thick and thin, don’t really have any limit on how much loss they would be willing to take. Important points to note Even though you’d invest and hold for the long term, you should take market fluctuations into consideration and not just ignore them altogether. Don’t think this strategy applies only to stocks or bonds. There are people that implement this strategy in real estate too. They’d buy properties and hold them for a long term without flipping them. A diversified portfolio is very important, even if you use the buy and hold strategy. This was all about the buy and hold strategy.

Analyze Days Sales Outstanding [Video]

There are several factors to consider when analyzing a company’s days sales outstanding. These include: • The company’s days sales outstanding relative to its industry • Trends in the company’s days sales outstanding over time • Caveats that can make days sales outstanding misleading A company might have a lower days sales outstanding than its competitors because: • The company has superior credit and collection policies (operational excellence) • The company is larger and is using its size to negotiate better credit terms (size advantage) • The company is pursuing a different strategy than its peers • The company is selling its receivables (factoring) When it comes to long-term trends, an increase in days sales outstanding could mean: • General economic conditions have deteriorated (e.g., there’s a recession) • One or more of the company’s main customers is experiencing financial difficulties • The company has relaxed its credit policy to attract new, less creditworthy customers • The company discontinued a policy of selling its receivables • The company is engaging in aggressive revenue recognition Finally, there are some caveats to bear in mind when analyzing days sales outstanding: • First, if you’re using quarterly data, make sure to use year-over-year comparisons instead of quarter-over-quarter comparisons if the company’s business is seasonal • Second, companies sometimes change the way they calculate sales or accounts receivable, which can distort days sales outstanding. So be on the lookout for that • Third, slow collection of some credit sales might be masked by fast collection of other credit sales • Fourth, companies can almost always benefit from a lower days sales outstanding. But it’s possible for days sales outstanding to be too low if the company is overly strict about granting credit and thus missing out on sales 0:00 Introduction 0:16 Industry factors 3:20 Analyzing trends 7:26 Caveats — Edspira is the creation of Michael McLaughlin, an award-winning professor who went from teenage homelessness to a PhD.
