Jack Ma Receptionist is Tong Wenhong. She joined Alibaba 16 years ago as a receptionist. When Jack Ma was allocating company shares, he gave Tong 0.2% shares right saying it will worth 100 billion when Alibaba goes public into the market later. He asked her to just stay in the company, don’t change to other companies and she will get 100 million when Alibaba goes public. Tong waited years after years but Alibaba never went public. She asked Jack when will Alibaba go public in 2004 and Jack said soon. She asked again in 2006 and Jack said soon, again. However she never saw it happen and never got the 100 million. When Alibaba finally went public in the New York Stock Exchange in September 2014, it was worth 245.7 billion. Tong, the former senior receptionist, current Vice President of Alibaba, became a millionaire from a receptionist with 320 million worth. Can you stay in a company for 14 years? When the founder is still fighting tirelessly, who are you to complain as a follower? They said to succeed you must be down to earth, never be eager for quick benefits. Loyalty isn't grey. Its black and white. You are either loyal completely, or not loyal at all. People have to understand this. You can't be loyal only when it serves you. same lessons should be applied to stocks 17 Likes 4 Shares |

Here are some key indicators used by investors. 1.Earnings per share (EPS) This is the amount each share. ... 2. Price to earnings (P/E) ratio. ... 3. Price to earnings ratio to growth ratio (PEG) ... 4. Price to book value ratio (P/B) ... 5. Dividend payout ratio (DPR) ... 6 Dividend yield. xhuksy:1. Earnings per share (EPS) This is the amount each share would get if a company paid out all of its profit to its shareholders. EPS is calculated by dividing the company’s total profit by the number of shares. Example – If a company’s profit is $200 million and there are 10 million shares, the EPS is $20. EPS can tell you how companies in the same industry compare. Companies that show steady, consistent earnings growth, year after year, will often outperform companies with volatile earnings over time. 2. Price to earnings (P/E) ratio This measures the relationship between the earnings of a company and its stock price. It’s calculated by dividing the current price per share of a company’s stock by the company’s earnings per share. Example – A company’s stock currently sells for $50 per share and its earnings per share are $5. That means it has a P/E ratio of 10 ($50 divided by $5). The P/E ratio can tell you whether a stock’s price is high, or low, compared to its earnings. Some investors consider a company with a high P/E to be overpriced. But sometimes a company with a high P/E today may offer higher returns, and a better P/E, in the future. How do you know? You’ll likely have to look at other indicators before you decide. 3. Price to earnings ratio to growth ratio (PEG) This helps you understand the P/E ratio a little better. It’s calculated by dividing the P/E ratio by the company’s projected growth in earnings. Example – A stock with a P/E of 30 and projected earnings growth next year of 15% would have a PEG of 2 (30 divided by 15). A stock with a P/E of 30 but projected earnings growth of 30% will have PEG of 1 (30 divided by 30). The PEG can tell you whether a stock may or may not be a good value. The lower the number, the less you have to pay to get in on the company’s expected future earnings growth. 4. Price to book value ratio (P/B) This compares the value the market puts on a company with the value the company has stated in its financial books. It’s calculated by dividing the current price per share by the book value per share. The book value is the current equity of a company, as listed in the annual report. Most of the time, the lower the P/B is, the better. That’s because you’re paying less for more book value. If you’re looking for a well-priced stock with reasonable growth potential, you may want to use a low P/B as a tool to identify possible stock picks. 5. Dividend payout ratio (DPR) This measures what a company pays out to investors in dividends compared to what the stock is earning. It’s calculated by dividing the annual dividends per share by the EPS. Example – If a company paid out $1 per share in dividends and had an EPS of $3, the DPR would be 33% (1 divided by 3). The DPR can give you an idea of how well a company’s earnings support the dividend payments. More mature companies will typically have a higher DPR. They believe that paying more in dividends is the best use of their profits for the firm and its shareholders. Since growing companies are likely to have less or no earnings to pay out dividends, their DPR would tend to be low or zero. 6. Dividend yield This measures the return on a dividend as a percentage of the stock price. It’s calculated by dividing the annual dividend per share by the price per share. Example – 2 stocks each pay an annual dividend of $1 per share. Company A’s stock is trading at $40 a share, but Company B’s stock is trading at $20 a share. Company A has a dividend yield of 2.5% (1 divided by 40), while Company B’s is 5% (1 divided by 20). The dividend yield can tell you how much cash flow you’re getting for your money, all other things being equal. CAUTION Indicators can help you assess the value of a stock and its growth potential. But there are many other factors affecting stock prices that can’t be easily measured. other factors Company news and performance Here are some company-specific factors that can affect the share price: news releases on earnings and profits, and future estimated earnings announcement of dividends introduction of a new product or a product recall securing a new large contract employee layoffs anticipated takeover or merger a change of management accounting errors or scandals Industry performance Often, the stock price of the companies in the same industry will move in tandem with each other. This is because market conditions generally affect the companies in the same industry the same way. But sometimes, the stock price of a company will benefit from a piece of bad news for its competitor if the companies are competing for the same market. Investor sentiment Investor sentiment or confidence can cause the market to go up or down, which can cause stock prices to rise or fall. The general direction that the stock market takes can affect the value of a stock: bull market – a strong stock market where stock prices are rising and investor confidence is growing. It’s often tied to economic recovery or an economic boom, as well as investor optimism. bear market – a weak market where stock prices are falling and investor confidence is fading. It often happens when an economy is in recession and unemployment is high, with rising prices. Economic factors 1. Interest rates The Bank of Canada can raise or lower interest rates to stabilize or stimulate the Canadian economy. This is known as monetary policy. If a company borrows money to expand and improve its business, higher interest rates will affect the cost of its debt . This can reduce company profits and the dividends it pays shareholders. As a result, its share price may drop. And, in times of higher interest rates, investments that pay interest tend to be more attractive to investors than stocks. 2. Economic outlook If it looks like the economy is going to expand, stock prices may rise. Investors may buy more stocks thinking they will see future profits and higher stock prices. If the economic outlook is uncertain, investors may reduce their buying or start selling. 3. Inflation Inflation means higher consumer prices. This often slows sales and reduces profits. Higher prices will also often lead to higher interest rates. For example, the Bank of Canada may raise interest rates to slow down inflation. These changes will tend to bring down stock prices. Commodities however, may do better with inflation, so their prices may rise. 4. Deflation Falling prices tend to mean lower profits for companies and decreased economic activity. Stock prices may go down, and investors may start selling their shares and move to fixed-income investments like bonds. Interest rates may be lowered to encourage people to borrow more. The goal is increased spending and economic activity. The Great Depression (1929-1939) was one of the worst periods of deflation ever. 5. Economic and political shocks Changes around the world can affect both the economy and stock prices. For example, a rise in energy costs can lead to lower sales, lower profits and lower stock prices. An act of terrorism can also lead to a downturn in economic activity and a fall in stock prices. 6. Changes in economic policy If a new government comes into power, it may decide to make new policies. Sometimes these changes can be seen as good for business, and sometimes not. They may lead to changes in inflation and interest rates, which in turn may affect stock prices. 7. The value of the Canadian dollar Many Canadian companies sell products to buyers in other countries. If the Canadian dollar rises, their customers will have to spend more to buy Canadian goods. This can drive down sales, which in turn can lead to lower stock prices. When the price of the Canadian dollar falls, it makes it cheaper for others to buy our products. This can make stock prices rise. KEY POINT Stock prices can be affected by: company news and performance industry performance investor sentiment economic factors 24 Likes 8 Shares |

1. You can sell a stock today and it does 100% tomorrow; Get used to it. You need it for your peace of mind. Even if you wait 10 years before selling, nothing stops the stock price from growing after you sold. Afterall, you haven't made money yet until you sell. 2. You can't buy everything 3.

Sales growth greater than peers/competitors (indicates “moat”) 18. Sales growth (CAGR) for last 5 – 10years: > 15% 19. Sales CAGR ~ (approx.) = Profit CAGR (in a moat, increased sales leads to increased profit) 20. Upcoming catalyst (new product/service with est. annual revenue >$200m): Yes 21.

I want to remind us that a lot of the stock picks like these ones below I posted on the 7th of January are a result of extensive research and nights of tireless due diligence. Some are yet to pick up, and we don't expect them all to rise or fall at the same time. However, a lot of them have already returned handsomely. In just 2 weeks, PLUG has moved from $35 to $66.86 today. GEVO has moved from $4.40 to $10.52 today. OPTT has moved from $2.61 to $5.61 today. I am as amazed as they appear. I advised late last year that members should start realigning their portfolio to suit the sectors positioned to benefit from the new US government. I was the first to heed that advise. A few stocks may be for keeps in your portfolio, but there must be an alignment so as to preserve the bulk of your portfolio gains of 2020 while positioning for more gains this year. The results have started showing up. Do your DD and act. You are the CEO of your portfolio. Meanwhile, congratulations to the "OPTT gurus" already smiling. ![]() See below posts for your reading pleasure. OakPearl: OakPearl: samuelson06: OakPearl: Hattbricker: Phraences: 5 Likes |

Well done, bro. Enough money to be made in this market from fundamentally sound stocks picked after detailed DD. It's like a "gift that keeps on giving". For instance, a stock like American Battery Metals corp (ABML) that was trading under $1 few weeks ago gained another 98% in the last 3days (35% on Wednesday, 18% yesterday and 45% today) to close at $3.34 today. There are strong rumours from market insiders of a Tesla buyout of this lithium battery recycling coy which was set up to meet the demands of the EV industry. OakPearl: 3 Likes |

$REEMF Something bigger and better is being speculated about dz company and the potential for 1000% returns ![]() As the saying goes, due diligence is the most important rule of the thumb. The company is said to own the largest deposit of rare earth metals in North America. The Americans plan to source all the rare earth metals needed for 5Gs technology locally. A game changer, the billion $s that the US pay to import rare earth metals from China will be invested in US companies that are into rare earth metals mining. The REEMF is said to have patented the latest technology in the mining of rare earth metals. In a strong speculation like this,one can invest money that you can afford, money that will not hurt you should the speculation turn out the opposite way. NB... Trading on headlines or political feelings tends not to do a portfolio any favors. 9 Likes |
