Re: Interactive thread on investment-related questions
I think that you have a different approach than me. It seems that you look at companies from the view of an accountant whereas I view them from the point of view of an investor. Also I think for you liabilities as share of total assets is quite important whereas for me it is something to consider but it is not the overriding concern.
I am a lot more flexible in my approach. Sometimes growth is important for me, sometimes yield is important for me, and sometimes security is important for me, sometimes I speculate and take high risks. The goal at end of the day should be to achieve high rate of return on your investment consistently while minimisng the risks. This can be done with buying just one stock but usually you need to have a well balanced portfolio.
