Standard & Poors awarded in august the manager of the mutual fund Skagen Global, Filip Weintraub to one of the best managers in the world.
Some quick advice from him:
The best case is a company with plenty of substance, but is very under estimated and unpopular.
About the Google stock
Take Google, a company that has gone like a rocket, but the value in a worst case scenario is in principal zero.
Reason and long term investing
- Always be aware of the worst case scenario. If everything than can go wrong goes wrong, and it still will be priced reasonably it could be a good investment.
- It is not the most glamorous stocks that will rise the most.
- Look for simple business models. Even a six year old has to understand two things about a company: what the company does and how it makes money, if not stay clear of investing in this company.
