Simple and consistent – you’ll see these words often. There is this common belief that for something to be different or be better, it has to be new and complicated. I don’t buy it. Rather, in my experience, desired results aren’t achieved simply because people don’t have a process and aren’t consistent with executing.
Think about your own life. How many times have you started something — worked at it daily for a couple weeks — but quit when you didn’t see immediate results or got bored. Or professionally, when you developed a new process, but business priorities shifted before it had a real chance to work?
Was it a poor process or just not given enough time? Most often, the latter.
Consistently doing the work — not only daily, but weekly, monthly and year over year — is the most basic, yet important element to successful stock investing. And along with consistency is the need to be persistent and rationally obsessed with improving.
But consistency doesn’t have to feel like drudgery. When you find the work fun, interesting and meaningful, it stops being work and becomes part of your daily routine that you actually enjoy.
How is the Davem Method different?
There are dozens of investment books and resources that teach mostly the same concepts I use. So, what makes this different?
[1] The framework is packaged in a simple, easy to learn process that covers valuation, buying and selling. I’ve done the parsing, simplifying and testing so you don’t have to.
[2] No academic theory or investing basics. Everything is geared toward helping you make quick, informed decisions.
[3] I don’t regurgitate common investing wisdom and quotes. This isn’t just to be contrarian, but rather my opinions are based only on my own, real-life experience.
[4] Short, jargon-free analysis and limited acronyms. Instead of using CAGR or EBITDA, I’ll just say Annual Growth or Earnings. Yes, there are calculation nuances, but I skip the cringey jargon.
[5] No typical Buy/Hold/Sell lists. I’ll teach you how to identify quality companies and when they are trading at attractive prices. The Davem selling tools will dictate when to exit. Cut losses short, let winners run, don’t let winners become losers. Simple as that.
Buy and hold forever!
(Hopefully - we’ll lock in profits along the way too)
Cheers,
Andrew Dempsey
