All you need to do is invest in quality businesses… and have the discipline to let your investment grow.

If one wants to invest in ETF, one needs to ensure that it has a high daily turnover. ETFs with low daily turnover can be easily manipulated due to the wide "bid versus ask" price.

Why do I think simplicity is king in investing?


I hold only three ETFs in my USD portfolio- VWRD, VUSD, and IGLO.

Always Insist on Quality

by Brad Thomas

Whenever we “open the hood” to analyze a business, we look for key components, such as:
1. Consistent earnings and dividends
2. Overall strength of its balance sheet
3. Primary competitive advantages
4. Overall strength of its management team.

They’re all indicative of future earnings power. So a truly quality company will boast all four aspects, no matter the economic conditions around it.
