NVR: The Dell Computer of Homebuilding

NVR: The Dell Computer of Homebuilding
This is a name I have watched from afar continue to beat my own expectations time and time again. I have told myself, "It's too expensive" more times than I would like to admit without doing any real digging but after a deeper dive the success is obvious. They have continued to execute a sound strategy that has not only increased net income steadily over time but also dropped the share count. In this episode I go over what makes NVR different from other home builders, why they are able to produce so much cash, and what they do with this cash that has juiced shareholder returns for the past two decades. It was a pleasure to study the name and I can say without hesitation it is a company of very high quality. Right now, it still remains on my watchlist. Should this change you will know. Leaving it on the watchlist might continue to be a mistake but we will see with time.

Keeping Emotions in Check, Frontier Update, and Big Variables for OXY
A jam-packed episode and I got three topics on deck for you. 1) Controlling emotions during price declines 2) Talking about Frontier and what is the more important variable for the name, the growth in fiber subscribers or the need for the company to rely on the debt markets to get to their destination. Read the blog post about $FYBR here: 3) Talking through the Occidental thesis. I have held the name for about a year now and I continue to hold my focus on the big variables that I think will be driving the future returns going forward. Read the blog post about $OXY here: I hope you enjoy the episode. -Michael Newsletter: Twitter: Email me: [email protected] Please be advised, Wall St Gunslinger is not an investment adviser and does not give personal investment advice.

Thoughts on Averaging Down and A Rough Dive on $BOOT

Thoughts on Averaging Down and A Rough Dive on $BOOT
In this episode, I go over my thoughts on the idea of averaging down into an idea. Plus at around the 30 min mark, I go into a rough dive on Boot Barn, $BOOT, a western fashion-focused retailer that has seen some serious growth over the past two years. In the end, I don't think I'll be doing a deep dive on this one but will circle back after a few quarters or a year to check on the progress. I am a bit skeptical about their current store's financial levels and wonder if they are sustainable over the long term.

Pondering Shopify

Pondering Shopify
I have had $SHOP in the back of my head for a few years. It started when I launched a T-Shirt business in school and used Shopify to power the store. We shut it down 4 months later but not before making enough profit to pay for a few weekends. What I should have done was take the profits and bought $SHOP when it was $90 a share. Oh wait, I did that too but after reading The Intelligent Investor for the first time I sold it at $150 because there was little quantitative logic to make the valuation rational. After reading some articles about the company and its founder my interest grew even more. Combine this with a falling stock price and we have a real interest. I tell the whole story here and go over why I think it's interesting. I hope you enjoy it. Peace and Love, Michael Disclosure: the Family Fund is long SHOP at the time of this recording.
