Careful falling in love with what you see in rear view mirrors

Charts and financials, are great , super useful, would never trade/invest without them.

However, they are rear view mirrors, as in they show us only the past. We have no crystal ball.

If we go into recession, the past growth will be misleading. keep that in mind.
We value the earning power of each business, but we should not ignore that markets are dynamic.

Apple is a good example.
Apple is priced with some build in growth assumptions, yet many analyst and headlines are implied flat or no growth.

We must keep an open mind.

Please learn valuation. Compare cashflow and free cashflow to current prices. Try to get the best deal you can.

Have a great year!
