Grow Your Confidence in Investing and Entrepreneurship
Below are complete S.I.M.P.L.E. Analysis examples of actual companies using the S.I.M.P.L.E. Stock Investing Method. You can see how the different analysis segments fit together, to provide a complete analysis. When you have completed your analysis, you will have established for yourself, if or when to invest in a company based on both fundamental and technical analysis! Each of these examples show you how the author assessed these companies, so that you can see how this works so powerfully.
One of the main objectives and essential life skills achieved by completing this course is for students to be able to analyze companies on their own! Students complete the provided S.I.M.P.L.E. Analysis forms on their own by following the detailed, step-by-step manual and guidebook provided with the course materials.
Remember – S.I.M.P.L.E. is an acronym, where:
S = Story (Invest only when you understand the STORY about the company, identifying how the company is going to increase in value)
I = Large Investor Accumulation of Shares is Evident (You learn how to see when large capital is being invested in company stock)
M = Market (The background market must be in a suitable condition for investing. Wise investors do NOT invest when the market is in a decline)
P = There is a PERSON or PRODUCT or both that you have identified at the company that is the catalyst for positive change at the company
L = The company is already a leader or becoming a leader in its market or share price
E = Earnings at the company are defined and moving in a direction that adds value to the company and attracts investors
The S.I.M.P.L.E. Analysis is the powerful and practical synthesis of the classical education stages of grammar (vocabulary and terms), dialectic (understanding of rules and application concepts), and rhetoric (applying all concepts and measures to develop a report that leads to a conclusion or action). The S.I.M.P.L.E. Stock Investing Method is designed to be a tool that will serve an individual investor throughout life. After over 30 years of successful investing, I still use it to decide on investments.
