Listen "Stock Talk - Investment Decisions - September 2019"
Episode Synopsis
With summer in the rear-view mirror, the markets hustle and bustle resumed in September, not that this past summer was sedate as I was making a fair number of investment decisions. The roller coaster continued. More trade trash talking. Flip-flops on a daily basis, Threats to delist companies from stock exchanges. More and more in the Mad King world this is becoming the norm and so it has and will continue to become very difficult for investors to process the information flowing. It’s easy to hide, but we have to continue and stay true to our investing playbook. Despite the chaos, I continued to build positions and even added new ones. In this episode I share my thought processes that led to my decisions below:
