When it comes to investing, choosing NOT to put your money somewhere can be just as important to your success. After all, one poor investment can easily water down the rest of your portfolio and cripple your returns.
While there’s no way to know for sure the exact companies that you should avoid, in this video I give you some guidelines that can help keep you on the right track.

Unless you know the management personally, it is impossible to know much about them. It's not like a sport where you can look up players' stats or watch them play. The last company I worked for I knew the CEO very well, as well as some VPs. I would not invest a single penny in his business!! He is not a person I'd trust, and the business model itself is never going to be successful in long term. I really see no way how you'd know this info otherwise without knowing the management personally. The best solution I could find is read company reviews on Glassdoor from their employees. If a company is rated low, that usually means people don't like working there, and that's often because of bad management.
Learning from the bad investment can be your greatest achievement. Buying ETF's too high in the bull market in Janurary was one of mine.

I love your videos and podcasts. Thank you so much for sharing all this information! Really helps so much to slowly wrap my head around investments.
Can you make a video about trading options as additional income?

You need to buy businesses where an idiot could run them, because sooner or later, one will.
Should we invest in those start ups with potential? Like Pebble before?

I bought ExxonMobil after the inauguration on the premise that the sanctions against Russia would get lifted and the deal with rostneft would go thru and dive ExxonMobil thru the roof…now I just want to get my money plus some back before the market adjusts.
Just started reading Rule #1 Investing. Exited to work towards my retirement from a young age. Thanks for what you do!
BURNED on qudian, deutsche bank, and potash
My mistake was buying IBM in the latest dip 😤
I know a lot about video games, but I will never invest in Game Stop.
What do you mean when you say a company is on sale? Do you mean when the shares are first offered to the public?
So I just opened a Roth thru my employer and matched there maximum invest (6%) and put it in a small caps investment. What can I expect if anything, what is expected of me at this point?
Companies with bad, unethical leadership that seem to be doing well: does anyone remember Enron?
amazing instructions, thank you!
Phil is a fox
I have been burned a few times. I lost about 80% on Retail Food Group, 80% on Dropsite, 50% on iCar Asia, 50% on Livetiles, 50% on Fintech Chain. In short this is why I stay out of investing in individual small cap stocks as all of these except retail food group was a small cap stock. I have had other loses but these were the worst. For the most part they were not recent investments as I have now learned to fully research a stock and not just buy it because an advisory service I paid for recommended it.
So how do you buy ETFs or index funds? You will never know the company because there are to many.
yep i got burned on the only company i invested in that warren buffet did TESCO
what about REIT stocks which are basically known for having a higher long tern debt than their net income because they make money in the process of borrowing money, do they fall into that category of stocks we shouldn't buy? someone please give some clarification on the subject.
Untrustworthy and shady management? hmm let me think…*cough* Facebook cough
Oh, uncle Phil. 🎉
Does CROIC>20 AND cash conversion cycle<20 justify the least management honesty
I haven’t done anything investment yet but will ASAP! With God willing.🙏🙏🙏
Great video Phil. In regard to your question, OUCH. Don't get me started.
I loss $17k on a potassium mineral company that was heading to bankruptcy and the CEO was talking like they had orders lined up! The company never delivered one pound of potassium for fertilizer and went belly up.
Phil, your videos inspire me and excite me to get back into the markets after having a huge loss on speculation.
I make youtube videos as well, and your quality is what I aspire to achieve.
Thank you
