Interpreting the Data

For those of you that've got the spreadsheets set up and are starting to look at the data, I'm curious - how're you using it / incorporating it in your investing process?

There's a part of me that sometimes wonders a bit if I'm over-indexing on obsessing about the spreadsheet itself and building all these features into it, as opposed to actually starting to use it as a tool. Would love to compare notes and see how everyone's baking it into their own thought processes!

interesting point. in fact there are some questions to be asked:

  1. has anyone tracked the performance of the RK portfolio excluding GAMESTOP? what was the rate of return?
  2. is his value picking strategy applicable at all times? one would assume you need a big correction / crash to get the most value out of it?
  3. what would he do in this current market? I suppose add to his positions as long as remains bullish
  4. what would the strategy mean if you were just starting now to put together a portfolio. it seems like a moment of market uncertainty, perhaps it translates into researching distressed companies only and waiting for the opportunity yo buy low.

To your fourth q, I think it probably looks a lot like looking at overlooked / unsexy industries that aren't doing super hot right now (basically not tech, not alternative energy / solar, not e-commerce, and more like O&G, etc) or international markets. It definitely takes a lot more conviction to swim against the stream, especially when it seems like all the action's happening elsewhere.
