In this episode of the Investing for Beginners podcast, hosts Dave and Andrew welcome Leandro from Best Anchor Stocks as their guest.

Leandro discusses his enthusiasm for long-term equity investing, explaining how he avoids shorting due to its unfavorable risk-return ratio. He details his approach to building an investment portfolio, his views on sell strategies, and the importance of thorough research and understanding company fundamentals.

Leandro also shares insights about his investment process, how he finds new ideas, and his preference for companies with strong management and secular growth trends.

By delving into examples like John Deere, Texas Instruments, and Keysight Technologies, he illustrates concepts such as cyclical investments, operating leverage, and industry transformations. Leandro emphasizes the importance of patience and avoiding recency bias in achieving consistent, long-term returns.
