My point was that a drop in the stock market is simply a reduction in price for an asset, and that the media for some reason sensationalizes stock price changes over all other price changes in other assets.
Well you compared changing prices at best buy to changing stock prices which aren't the same. The market effects every part of the economy for one, and can change for a multitude of reasons. The comparison makes absolutely no sense.

So in this thread I name a way to valuate stocks and show examples of good plays I made. We have Mingo over here not able to name a single other way that’s better to valuate stocks, although he insists I’m wrong, and with no evidence whatsoever he’s a good investor other than the fact he knows some key words that are found in chapters one and two of every financial 101 textbook.

Yeah dude, that’s how comparisons works. You take two things that aren’t the same and compare them. Every post of yours gets dumber and dumber. You should stop before you lose all credibility, if you have any left.

I never said you didn't guess right, just that you actually don't know what you are doing, because you've made it clear you don't.

You gave an 099 answer. As I've said multiple times, yes discounting cash flows is part of the process in a valuing a company and its stock, but it's only a small percentage of the overall equation.

Because there's not a "way" its different for every company depending on how they are structured, dividends they pay, etc.

I can't in a lot of comapies as I'm a covered person so I don't do any individual trading.

So is compounding interest and youve already proved you can't do that.

you have to do it the way I explained above.
No you don’t. A company can operate at a loss and still have great cash flow
You must have missed the part where they have earnings calls and not cash flow calls

Did MJ stop playing basketball after he missed a free throw? Yeah, didn’t think so!

According to him, that's just a simple mistake. This dude reads market watch a couple times a week and thinks he's an analyst for Goldman because he guessed right on two stocks.

If they selling, buy.
Is they buying, sell.

This thread is frickin hilarious
Also, where would you suggest someone start who was looking to learn more about the stock market?
Any books in particular?

Investing for Dummies
Seriously
ETA: reading a book written by someone who started with a ton of capital and became rich in the market is not going to help you as much as understanding the basics

I’ve seen that on the money board I believe. He picky? I’ve thought about dabbling lately but don’t know anything about the market. All my shite is just vanguard and the Roth. But I have some play money

Fair enough. I actually have read some of those for insurance, when I was training for my job...in insurance. And it was helpful.
Gracias

Like I said, I'm not an individual investor because I can't, and I learned what I know through school, certifications, and my job. My advice for 99% of people would be put money in mutual funds, you will outperform what you can do on your own 9 times out of 10, and if you can't do it full time you can't really keep up.

Lemme get the straight: you, a probably middle class adult, believe that the 3rd-ish richest man in the world is a fool?

To be fair, I think Buffet is past his prime. A lot of the stuff he says is really convenient for a dude that is already loaded. Credit cards are bad, all that type shite, but he's obviously not an idiot.
