Forecasting

As I said so many times, although you can learn a great deal from the past, you can only invest for the future. Consequently, forecasting future earnings of any company you are considering investing in is a major key to long-term success. Furthermore, although forecasting is full of uncertainty, it is imperative that investors apply their best judgment before laying their money down. Even though the future is full of uncertainty, and even though it would be naïve to expect forecasting to be accurate and perfect, does not say that it cannot be done within a reasonable range of certainty. As Warren Buffett once so eloquently put it: “I would rather be approximately right than precisely wrong.”

Furthermore, forecasting is often helpful to run numerous what-if scenarios such as best case, worst case, and most likely case. To me the important principle is that in order to be a prudent investor, you must always run the numbers through to their logical conclusion. Consequently, FAST Graphs has designed our forecasting calculators to help subscribers do just that. In this video, I will stress the importance of forecasting and simultaneously how to utilize our tool to do it effectively.

In this video, I will cover growth stock Meta Platforms (META) and dividend-paying stock Lennox International (LII)
