We sent out the below to The Idea Farm list recently, and the chart was so good I had to share it here.
John Del Vecchio is a rare forensic accountant that sees opportunities both long and short (he runs funds on both sides including the new forensic accounting ETF). He did a short piece recently that isn’t publicly available, but touches on one of the biggest mistakes in investing – ignoring valuations and going with market cap indexes. We’ve done a lot of blog posts on the topic, including this one on Apple in 2011: “Apple – Too Big To Succeed?”
JDV includes this great chart that illustrates investing in the largest company in the US….good idea?
