2️⃣ Financial Statements Mind Map

Accounting is the language of business.

This Financial Statements Mindmap from The CFO Guy sums it up quite well:

3️⃣ One simple investment quote

In the long term, the evolution of the intrinsic value is all what matters.

Focus on quality companies which are able to grow their earnings at an attractive rate.

"If you bought the S&P 500 at a P/E of 5.3x in 1917, and sold it in 1999 at a P/E of 34x, your annual return would have been 11.6%. Only 2.3% p.a. came from the massive increase in P/E. The rest of your return came from the companies’ earnings and reinvestments." - Terry Smith
