    I've read Buffetology, that's what I'm basing my investment strategies on so far. Just started reading One Up On Wall St and have got a few basic tips.

    One quote I remember is never buy a stock for the reason that it's value is going up. RDB are doing much better than they were 1-2 years ago in their financial statements but it's sure going up in a hurry. Everyone needs to eat though which is good for KFC.

    WITH all the pedictions for KFC the thing that will happen is the dividend will rise to at least 14 cents in the next YEAR.. YIPPIE..

    The reason rbd has soared is because the majority of people during this recession have eaten there. as things improve sales will drop again If you bought in below $1.00 GET OUT AND TAKE YOUR PROFIT.. iT IS UNLIKELY THAT ANOTHER ASIAN TAKEOVER WILL ARISE.

    If that is the original Buffetology book, I think there was a mistake in the
    calculations in the equity growth model spreadsheet type calculations.
    It was subsequently fixed in Mary Buffett's following publications, the
    Buffettology Workbook and the New Buffettology.

    Still that doesn't diminish the ideas and theme of the book.

    One quote I remember is never buy a stock for the reason that it's value
    is going up. RBD are doing much better than they were 1-2 years ago
    in their financial statements but it's sure going up in a hurry. Everyone
    needs to eat though which is good for KFC.
    Yes, hit $2.19 today? Still the book doesn't say you shouldn't buy a
    share because it is going up either.
    In fact, coming from a similar investment church to yourself ENP, I think
    you need to ask whether a share is value at the market price. It may
    well be value even as the price is going up rapidly if the trough it is
    recovering from is deep enough! I think long term fair value will settle
    at around $2.40 over the next couple of years. So not a tremendous
    amount of capital gain to come, but those dividends should remain
    'finger lickin'.

    Yes timing the market is possible. But you have to ask is it practical?
    And do you have the diligence to follow your system?

    'Practicality' in this sense is another way of talking about liquidity, by
    my way of thinking. You can study historical charts ad nauseum. But
    just because a chart says that a share was available at a certain price
    at a certain time does not mean *you* could have bought the number of
    shares you wanted at that price on the day in question. If a share is in
    the NZX50 this isn't usually a serious issue for the Mum and Dad
    investor. But there are plenty of investment choices that are not in
    the NZX50. I have observed that the liquidity of RBD has
    dramatically improved since it entered the NZX50.
    Phaedrus IIRC (hopefully he will correct me if my memory is faulty) ,
    prefers to trade in blocks no greater than one third of a share's daily
    liquidity. This solves the liquidity issue, but does limit the investment
    horizon as well.

    'Diligence' means a willingness to stick with your system and put in the
    effort to make a proper go of it. Phaedrus is undoubtedly diligent. But
    I remember buying some RBD in 2002 at $2.08 on the premise of a
    rising trend and anticipating a successful diversification in Australia.
    When the Australian venture started to prove troublesome the share
    price tanked and I didn't have the stomach to sell. This taught me that
    you cannot adopt 'half a system' and expect to be successful and
    signalled the end of my attempts at fine timing.

    If you go back to the start of this (and previous RBD) threads you will
    find all sorts of posts by Phaedrus explaining how poorly timed my
    entry into RBD was at $1.20, 87c, 76c etc over the years. However, in
    thc cold light of today, and $2.19, you can see that all of these were in fact
    good entry points. IME you can spend a lot of time timing the minutae
    of entry. But if you can buy something that is cheap enough relative to
    fundamentals none of this fine timing matters, *providing you have the
    time horizon to wait until the market reverts to fair value*. The biggest
    risk IMO is being so tied up in the timing detail that the share price
    jumps and you end up not investing at all, as most readers of this
    thread have done (not done?) with RBD!

    The final difficulty in timing is that you have to get both the entry and
    the exit point right to make it work. If you remain largely fully invested
    then there are less timing decisions to worry about. There are sage
    investors on this forum who have congratulated themselves on the
    wisdom of their exit from 'the market'. But then they sit on the
    sidelines *for years* having missed the upturn. The other problem is
    that not all individual shares follow 'the market'. RBD was a drain on
    my investment portfolio for years, while the market boomed. But when
    the downturn came RBD went from strength to strength.

    I want to conclude with idea that there is always more than one 'right'
    way to invest. Phaedrus has certainly made more than me on RBD in
    percentage terms if he has tripled his capital. My RBD capital has
    'only' doubled. But as a trader, Phaedrus has to pay tax on his share
    gains. Whereas as a dividend investor I do not. So I would wager
    that our respective 'after tax investment performance' with RBD is
    almost identical to date.

    Snoopy IIRC Phaedrus buys shares on the NZX for the *purpose* of obtaining dividend income from them, so I would expect his capital gains to be non-taxable. He simply times his entries into such stocks based on sound technical analysis, thereby maximising his chances of picking up a capital gain along the way. For the most part I do the same thing, probably on a smaller scale but I would guess with similar rationale and results.
