Dave:                                    00:36                     Welcome

to the podcast, this is episode 89. Tonight Andrew and I are going to do a

little more of a deep dive into the 10 K, and

that’s one of our favorite things to talk about.

I know I like to geek out about 10 ks and so does Andrew, so we’re going to

talk a little bit more about them. So Andrew, why don’t you go ahead and start

us off there. Big Guy.

Andrew:                              00:56                     Yeah,

sounds good. So 10 k, another way of saying a company’s annual report, this is

the document that every company, every public company is required to file. And

this is where you will find all of the information about accompany. We’ve

talked about some of the important ratios and some of the important metrics that

you’ll find on there, some of the important numbers. So I think today maybe we

talk a little bit more about some of the qualitative side. I’ve been reading a

lot of 10 k’s lately and have seen some similarities, some, some things that

have stuck out and you know, based on some of the previous discussions we’ve had the last couple episodes, you know, on the

last episode with Braden.

Andrew:                              01:42                     Now we’re talking about,

trying to find a qualitative factor and how that, how that helps you make a

decision on whether you want to buy a stock a talked about kind of this whole

idea of buying stocks with products that are either commodity products or a

versus maybe one where a product is priced at a premium. Maybe it’s a value add and the

differences there.
