Adamfayed.com on LinkedIn: Here's a fascinating fact: If Bill Gates hadn't sold his Microsoft shares,… (2024)

When to buy a great business? Short answer: when it's on sale! Microsoft is (to me at least) one of those companies and one I am closely monitoring.The stock is currently trading near its all times high ($370 per share) which is more than 3 times my calculated fair value for the business.. (I am sharing my calculations below, for reference).In the event of a recession (which continues to be my base case) I can imagine its price to fall even below that level.That's when I will be scooping up shares! 💪 P.S. Always be conservative when calculating intrinsic values of businesses. Analysts are projecting earnings growth of 15% over the next 5 years. I used a more conservative growth rate (10%) which corresponds to Microsoft's 10-year average free cash flow growth rate.Will Microsoft ever reach my target price? 🤔 #financialgoals#investingtips#financialeducation#personalfinance#investments#passiveincome#stocks#stockmarket#investor#financialfreedom#investing#finance#wealth#trading#coaching#bitcoin#cryptocurrency

You rarely make (big) money in business or investing by just following 'the next hot thing'. You make it through gaining an understanding, and taking calculated bets, which look lucky, in hindsight. I bought Bitcoin under $50. I bought Google stock when it IPO'd. (But I've had a few stinkers too)Was it because I followed 'the next hot thing' or because I started getting involved in the web in the 90s and gained deep understanding? When something is already 'the next hot thing', you're often too late.(Trust me, I've been there as well.)The art of spotting trends is doing it before everyone else has caught on.And yes, this might make you look stupid or delusional. But the key to is to cultivate a depth of understanding that fosters a level of confidence, which surpasses the fear of appearing foolish. This understanding is built over time.And for you to invest prolonged time, there needs to be some sort of willingness usually fuelled by curiosity, passion, and the love of progress. ... which often you don't have for 'the next hot thing'.

Trump's spac goes public on Monday under the symbol DJT, and it could be valued at $5B; Trump owns 60% of the shares and will be firmly in control with his son Chairman of the Board. His loyal fans will buy believing Truth Social" can compete with Meta and X for market share. For investors in Bitcoin and Nvidia wishing to diversify their risk, DJT is the way, with no correlation to anything except the political poles. Think-it, a portfolio of three high-flying stocks with no connection to themselves or the market. Truth Social is the ultimate meme stock and could make Trump the first trillionaire. Perhaps to late to help him with the 454M New York bond due Monday. Nevertheless, market cap is market cap and this one has MAGA written all over it.
