Advice for freshman in college
Hi everyone, I'm a college freshman, and I've been pretty passionate about investing for a long time (Barron's subscription for my ninth birthday). I'm planning on doing ~12 stock pitch competitions over the next three months, and I want to improve how I go about fundamental analysis.
Does anyone have recommendations for books, courses, videos, or frameworks that helped you evaluate businesses through a macro lens (rates/inflation/growth/industry cycles) and a micro lens (unit economics, competitive advantage, financials/valuation)? I'm currently reading Expectations Investing, and it's been quite enjoyable so far.
Thank you!
One thing a club at my old college would do was create a profile of a company with the name blurred out. They did this Y2K investment project where they picked out stocks from 2000 randomly from a list of 100 companies somewhere in the S&P/Nasdaq/other, gave you the profile, and you had to basically take the profile and rate it a buy or sell. The whole idea was that since you can't necessarily backtest ideas like with a trading strategy, you could backtest an idea/generation framework by backtesting your own skills against companies in the past. One kid ended up recommending shorting Amazon, which was funny to see.
Also, get Bloomberg too. Bloomberg costs 10 bucks a month for students, and has great news feeds. It's great that you're reading and clearly very passionate about these topics, and I love to see that in students. Keep up the good work, and hopefully you'll land a seat.
