StockUp: Reflections of a Lifelong Better Investor

This month’s StockUp is presented courtesy of BetterInvesting’s Online Chapter. The chapter engaged Cy Lynch as the speaker for their 2021 Annual Meeting. Because of Cy’s popularity and excellence as an investment educator, the Online Chapter welcomed a collaboration with StockUp so Cy could share his investing wisdom with the entire BetterInvesting community.

Cy Lynch, longtime BetterInvesting member and educator, shares insights into how BetterInvesting has helped him successfully manage his own stock portfolio. Cy starts this session with a brief review of BetterInvesting’s four principles, how they’ve impacted his life and how he applies them as he invests. Next, focus shifts to the Stock Selection Guide® (SSG®), starting with the proposition that not all sections of the SSG are equally important. Cy reviews SSG stock selection criteria (potential return, P/E ratios, upside-downside ratios, price zones) and shares how his use of these metrics has evolved over nearly 40 years of using the form.
