PYPL Reddit Mentions | ChartExchange

Very true, I think a lot of value investors should understand how Lynch differs from Buffet (especially as latter day BRK needed to be managed in a different way due to it's size).
I also think a lot here confuse risk averse investing (which, yeah manage your risk) and a really weird antipathy towards growth potential when talking about Value Investing.
**Growth stocks** are shares in companies expected to expand earnings at an above-average rate, leading investors to pay a premium for future potential. **Value stocks** are shares in established companies that appear underpriced by the market relative to their "intrinsic worth," often due to temporary setbacks or lack of investor excitement.
On the one hand we get the posts about, and I'm picking one's I wouldn't touch, but are the *definition* of Value stocks; like PYPL (that post about them adding ad revenue reads more like the company grasping for straws to me), DUAL (good market share/nothing immediate or that I fundamentally I hate in the financials, but I absolutely believe AI *could* easily destroy them in a few years), UNH (I believe I made an extensive comment on this a few months ago, bearish, I'll dig it up and re-post if anyone asks), ADBE (A bit more convinced in the 1-3 year hold space than I was yesterday). I don't hold them and am not looking to, but despite the complaints about them being posted, they *do* 'appear under priced relative to their intrinsic worth.' So if you hate those posts, articulate why you think it's a value trap on them and we might see less of them.
On to Lynch though, that was just bothering me, he looks at at value based on their future performance over a 3-10 year period that is based on fundamentals and risk. My favorite quote is "If **seven out of ten** of my stocks perform as expected, then I’m delighted. If **six out of ten** of my stocks perform as expected, then I’m thankful. Six out of ten is all it takes to produce an enviable record on Wall Street." I expect some of my picks to under perform, I tax loss harvest in Nov/Dec on a 1-3 year time-frame, in other words I only expect one or two to be completely wrong (losses), most to hopefully beat inflation/indices, and 1-2 to 10-100 bag (as an example).
He does have so many other good quotes though. Late new years resolution, I'll read 'One Up On Wallstreet' this year. Finally.
