Value Investors Club R2 Application Feedback

Hi everyone, I recently moved to the second stage of VIC’s new membership application process and would really appreciate any feedback on my pitch. If anyone is interested in reviewing it, I would be happy to send it by private message. I am looking for completely honest feedback, so please do not hold back. Any criticism, whether it is about the thesis, research, analysis, writing, structure, or anything else, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!

I never had an approved account because no advantage of handing out your ideas to someone. But I have several friends at reputable places that still post on VIC. And there's a handful of "name brand" guys that still post. If you've been around long enough, you know their usernames and it's typically high quality work.

 

i found it difficult to follow exactly what the short thesis. is Writing "Tenet is priced for growth and profitability while earnings are becoming increasingly flat" is not enough. You need to really pinpoint factor X in the first few sentences othw you are losing the reader.

the easier the write-up is written, the more the audience will be engaged. so when you write, think like that you would need to explain this to your grandma.

not saying that the idea is per se bad just that the writing style makes it very difficult to follow 

 

Hi, thank you so much for your feedback and emphasis on writing style. I will keep it in mind for next time onwards and work on improving it. Thank you for taking out time!
