Hello Jonathan Withman from the UK

Are you successful?

Hi biz

I've been researching stocks and investing for some time now, listening to audiobooks like the new market wizards and the intelligent investor and reading incestopedia. I am also a trainee accountant and I feel my accounting studies have helped as well especially the financial management unit.

I feel like I could now perform a decent fundamental analysis of a company, however this would obviously take time, researching working out different ratios, discounted cash flows etc. The problem I have is finding the initial companies I should perform analysis on.

I am just using a practice account at the minute but need a way of filtering general stocks to make a shortlist of those I can do more in depth analysis of before potentially investing. What sort of factors would you filter by to narrow down the search?

Failure is apart of success.

Tip one
>you need to be successful

Tip two
>do whatever it takes to make tip one a reality.

You had the "college experience" while I focused on self sufficiency via my own business. You all dropped out.

You accumulated every sneaker and trendy accessory while I wore hanes T shirts and buzzed my own hair to save money.

You were going on vacations I was working 80 hours a week. I didn't even have a passport.

You were financing used luxury cars at double digit interest while I was DIYing maintenance and repairs on a work truck.

You racked up consumer debt while I made conservative investments.

You rented a nice apartment, I rented a room in the bad side of town.

You got engaged or knocked up a crazy bitch, I decided to wait it out.

You spent the little money you had left every week on fancy dinners and video games. I ate healthy and choose free/cheap hobbies that would make me a better person. I got in shape and learned about business, finance, philosophy, politics, history, biology, psychology.
Now I have all the time, money, and women I could ever want. I own a home and a business. I'm psychically fit and emotional healthy. I gave myself a purpose in life. To become self actualized and to seek out others who shares the same values.

But none of that matters to you. You're a bitter, miserable person. You are only concerned with instant gratification and social status. Always keeping score. You're in worse shape than ever and a borderline substance abuser. You're almost 30 and don't have any savings.


and you know what? I don't fucking care!!!
