One Legged Discipline


This link explains the importance of adhering to discipline in your investing process, rather than focussing on desired outcomes.

Reminded me of a humorous line from a science fiction book I cannot now remember:

"As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall feel no fear, because I am the baddest motherfucker in the whole valley."

Getting Dumber Every Day

What happens when the one-legged investor meets Dumb and Dumber?

Voila!

This presentation is very useful as it provides a template for my analysis. If I can get my thoughts in some decent semblance of order, I will attempt a post of past investment experiences based on the framework set out by Zeke Ashton in his excellent presentation found in the link above.

I leave you, dear readers, with the following proposition: "stock selection is a misnomer, the investing process in the main largely involves stock elimination."

UOS- keeps getting better

Mr Market is quite generous with this one.

Consider this:

1. Property developer with minimal debt;
2. Growing at 20% plus per year for the past decade;
3. Flushed with cash;
4. Rental earning properties in prime areas;
5. Huge runway;
6. Asian market exposure;
7. Buying back shares in chunks;
8. Priced at nearly half NTA;
9. MOS increasing with every decrease in AUD;
10. Steady stream of dividends;
11. Management with demonstrated capability and integrity;
12. 191% rise in NPAT in first quarter alone for major subsidiary.

In effect, a value play with free growth upside. 

Disclosure: I own shares in UOS.
