Reading beyond charts
Charts tell you what a stock did; they don't tell you what a business is worth. This journey is the value-investing discipline in working order: how to identify a durable moat, how to model the cash a business will throw off, how to discount that stream back to a present value, and why the margin of safety matters more than the precision of the model.
