Model Investment Club

The Rocky Mountain Chapter Model Investment Club online meeting begins at 6:45 pm Mountain Time, with about 15 minutes for the business portion of the model club, followed by an education presentation and a stock evaluation using judgments from the audience.

Focused on small and mid-sized companies as defined by BetterInvesting, small companies are often hard to find and evaluate. These potential gems have annual revenues of less than $10 Billion, and may not be widely followed by analysts.

Join us to learn more about running an investment club, selecting small and mid-sized companies and managing a portfolio.

Stock Presentation: Nvidia (NVDA)

The Rocky Mountain Chapter model club focuses on small and mid-sized companies, classified by BI according to sales revenue. Should the club consider NVDA, a faster growing company, with sales that qualify as a large company, be considered in the portfolio as it is growing sales and EPS like a small company?

The Motley Fool has stated that High P/E stocks require additional approaches to help confirm if analysis trajectory is rational.

The evaluation of NVDA will focus on two methods to evaluate high P/E stocks:

1. Price to Book Value per Share Ratio

2. Sales Forecast Ratio to High P/E estimate.

These methods will be applied to NVDA, a faster growing and a high P/E stock. As part of the discussion, Joan will also discuss using limits orders to take advantage of price fluctuations of a faster growing stock to buy at a rational price and increase potential return.

For an introduction to using different ratios for a stock evaluation, view the short presentation by John Rogers.
