Hellas Investment Community,


How do you deal with companies that convince you of their business model but run permanently?


Notable mentions:


$FICO (+0,06%)

$CTAS (+0,12%)

$MCO (-0,09%)

$SPGI (-0,57%)

$COST (-0,17%)


I've been watching all these companies for some time now and I'm seeing them run away from me.

Valuation-wise they are getting more and more expensive and were already extremely expensive at the time of first contact. Every time I analyze them, I decide not to buy them only to see them gain another 20% a few months later.


How do you approach such companies? How do you value them? How do you fight your FOMO here?


Good return and best regards from Vienna

Simply open a small one-off position at some point and then buy in dips via a savings plan. CTAS
was always too expensive for me and has been on my watchlist for 2 years. In the end, I just bought it now. It has also paid off with other companies.

Ignore them and find other companies that are more attractive according to your own criteria.

@parlania well I understand the approach, but these types of companies are so good, with a massive moat, incredibly great margin development and excellent capital allocation, that in my opinion there is little way around these companies in the long term. The point is that these companies fit my criteria exactly. I think it is important to keep a cool head here. Wait for a setback and then get in if necessary. Not being involved is not an option here, because it is precisely companies like these that manage to beat the market by a significant margin historically. Why should I invest in the second "league" just because these companies are relatively expensive at the moment?

Just buy it and see what happens. :)

Get in with a savings plan, or get in on a small setback.

It is best to combine both.

I felt the same way as you for a short time at $FICO. Then I started a savings plan and haven't regretted it. +46% so far.
