Reading Time: 3 minutes I’ve covered the “buying” in my last post. I want to add a little more about “buying” here and then jump into “selling”. I think the quality of the stock (a company business, especially the management and the moat) is more important than the price itself in the long term. For the managment of a

Interestingly, I recalled just a few weeks ago, Mark Cuban, the outspoken billionare investor (who made a fortune in the 90s dot com era), said “anyone who buys

No wonder there are so many people in the bars and grills at the town of Grafton. I also saw people with boats enjoying the water before the winter chill – this is probally
