Conscious Investor Company Analyses
and Watch List

When you subscribe to Conscious Investor you get much more than just a powerful screening tool and access data on thousands of stocks. For example, you also receive detailed and summary analyses on companies to consider adding to your portfolio. Each of these analyses are based on the tools and procedures within Conscious Investor so that they play two roles: (1) providing an analysis of major companies and (2) helping subscribers become even more familiar with the comprehensive Conscious Investor approach.

Warren Buffett emphasizes the importance of investing in businesses that you understand. In the 1996 Annual Report of Berkshire Hathaway he wrote,

You don’t have to be an expert on every company, or even many. You only have to be able to evaluate companies within your circle of competence. The size of that circle is not very important; knowing its boundaries, however, is vital.

The reports help you with this evaluation process.

Detailed Analysis

Every two months we mail a detailed report on a USA company and an Australian company. To make it easier to compare companies, these reports always follow the same format in four parts: Introduction, Understanding the Company, Conscious Investor Quick Analysis and Determining the Price. They contain many screen shots from Conscious Investor.

Frequently the reports contain interviews with senior management or recent statements by them. Also there is an analysis of the economic moat of the company in terms of its type, strength and durability.

Subscribers, particularly the newer ones, like to follow through the steps in the reports by getting the same images and numbers on their computer monitors by using Conscious Investor. This is a both a learning tool and a confirmation that they understand the analysis methods.

Summary Analysis
(Watch List)

The second type of report is part of what we call the Conscious Investor Watch List. These are companies that pass all, or nearly all, the requirements of the Conscious Investor screens. In general the reports in the Watch List will be updated twice a year although the frequency for some companies may be higher or lower.

The forecasts in these reports are estimates and only intended to be starting points. Subscribers make their own evaluation of whether the margin of safety is sufficiently broad and hence to their degree of confidence in the estimated return.

As with the detailed reports, each analysis of a stock in the Watch List will be summarized in standardized way: Company Description, Conscious Investor Screens, Conscious Investor Quick Analysis, Business and Scenario Analysis. One feature of these reports is that "traffic lights" are applied to nine areas: too many caution or stop lights means that it may not be an investment grade company.
