In this series, we will teach you 5 things about the stock market in less than 5 minutes.
1️⃣ Wonderful companies at a fair price
As a quality investor, you want to buy wonderful companies at a fair price.
Does this strategy work? YES.
Between 1990 and 2021, QARP (Quality At Reasonable Price) managed to outperform the index by 7.4% (!) per year.
2️⃣ Bullsh*t earnings
Never look at the adjusted EBITDA of a company. Management can fool you with this metric.

In the end, free cash flow per share growth is all what matters.
