Lesson 16

Building Your Investment Process

An investment process is a repeatable method for making decisions.

Start With Principles

A good process begins with clear principles. Understand businesses. Demand evidence. Respect valuation. Manage risk. Think long term.

These principles help investors stay disciplined when markets become noisy.

Create A Repeatable Checklist

Before investing, ask whether you understand the business, whether the company is financially strong, whether it has a moat, whether management is trustworthy, whether valuation is reasonable, and whether risk is acceptable.

A checklist reduces emotional decision-making.

Monitor And Update

Investing does not end after buying. Investors must monitor whether the original thesis remains valid.

If facts change, the investor's view should change too.
