What’s a philoinvestor?
A philoinvestor (noun) is someone that engages in investments and decision making using a philosophical, educated and unemotional thought process.
PHILOINVESTOR aims to inform and educate its subscribers using a no-nonsense, no-bullshit approach.
PHILOINVESTOR aims to analyse investment opportunities from a business mindset and generate IRR.
PHILOINVESTOR cuts through the fluff and simplifies things by using the 80/20 rule.
PHILOINVESTOR will show you how to use the short-termistic nature of investors and analyst banker-types against them to make money.
Quality > Quantity always.
We strive to be heavy on quality and light on numbers. Complicated math and elaborate models is not the way that Philo likes to invest.
Equity research pieces now open to the public:
Coursera, Avon Protection, Duolingo, Tenneco, Jumbo, Netflix, Valaris, RCI Hospitality and others.
But there’s more…
After starting out mainly with newsletters on individual stocks, I launched other sections on Philoinvestor to expand the offering.
In Downside by Philo, I focus on stocks that I believe have considerable downside going forward — hit Downside pieces include Moderna, Nvidia, Apple and Microsoft.
In Breakout by Philo, I approach financial markets purely from a technical perspective. In Issue #3, I correctly called for a correction in the equity indices for the reasons I describe here.
In WTHIH? (What the hell is happening?) — I write on the broader market setup, macro trades, politics/geopolitics and other interesting observations. Here’s a good WTHIHpiece for you to sample on!
What are people saying about Philoinvestor?
$FTCH +40% since and ASOS +50% since.

The Asos call is all yours so thank you dear Philo for the great work 😎🙏 (and yes I sold today because I’m impatient 😜)
Thanks to @philoinvestor for the inspo, although I already missed most of the upside 😅

I regularly kick myself for not buying it after reading your write up at the time 🙈

Congrats, you bring something different to the fintweet

Absolutely awesome as always Philo. I always appreciate the time and quality of the content your provide 🤩
— Cenovia Capital (@CapitalCenovia) May 22, 2022
I really enjoy your content. In a cesspool of technical analysis articles you provide in-depth fundamental rationale and explain the triggers and psychology behind it. You always get me thinking and questioning myself after I read your stuff. Keep up the good work.

Two of my favorite quotes from the article: 1) “mistakes are the rule and not the exception when looking back at the career of a successful investor.”
— Ho Nam (@honam) February 9, 2022
I DMed @philoinvestor back to say that I’ve used almost the exact same words he used in the article - “like tying to solve an ever evolving puzzle” - to describe my approach to investing that makes it endlessly interesting to me.

Holiday reading - as someone who struggles with sleep (and believes vitamins compensate for sugar addiction 🤦♀️), some fascinating info in here on a variety of topics.

'A simple rerating on these names...could cause drops in the S&P 500 of historical proportions. That doesn’t mean you should not invest in the stock market, that just means you shouldn’t let big stock market cycles tell you what to do with your capital.' 💯 https://t.co/YrnDTCjesu

Excellent read. Unfortunately Rufus investment style reminds me of a lot of people I know. I have warned them many times but they refuse to listen to me too 🤷🏻♀️ https://t.co/M99FPRfsvM
