$A is for Agilent

Thank you so much for becoming an early adopter of “A Ticker A Day”. I have also started a Twitter account where you can follow along at @a_ticker.

I will kick things off tomorrow with my first decision: $10 to VTSAX/VTI or $10 of Agilent stock?

Just a heads up to my free subscribers (there are a LOT of you, thank you!) in order to see tomorrow’s issue and analysis you will need to upgrade to a paid subscription.

Why become a paid subscriber?

Each business day I am planning to send an email with:

• my thought process for evaluating the company and its stock

• links to what I read during my research

• my decision on whether to buy the stock or the index, and reasoning

• the name of the stock for the next day

Each month I am planning to send a recap email with:

• overall performance to date

• updates on companies I am still tracking

• more interesting approaches to research as I develop them (likely involving automation and custom software)

• a lot of great book recommendations to go deeper on the companies, managements, and industries we are learning about together

Hopefully, this will serve as a thought provoking learning process with some skin in the game. Will you join me?
