There's a saying that most people are unable to beat S&P 500. This is why learning how to calculate whether your investing strategy can beat the market is important. Sharpe ratio measures excess return divided by each unit of risk you take. If you achieve a high return but you take a lot of risk, it doesn't make it a great strategy (low Sharpe ratio). If you achieve a high return and you take very little risk, then it is a great strategy (high Sharpe ratio). In this video, I provide you with examples, benchmarks, and Excel formulas on how to calculate your own Sharpe ratio. https://youtu.be/8R04Q2k7JCQ Cheers, Eric --- Eric Seto Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) Chartered Investment Manager (CIM) Founder of 5MinInvesting.com Free webinar - how to get 30%: https://5mininvesting.com/free-case-study/ In April, my goal is to help 20 people without a financial background to master investing.

Analyzing stock price movements, such as the recent drop in SBUX, involves examining historical data to understand past performance and trends. It's crucial to determine whether a price change is a market overreaction or indicative of a longer-term trend in the company's performance. Starbucks, known for its strong brand and customer loyalty, has built a significant economic moat over the years, which includes competitive advantages like pricing power, cost efficiency, and high customer satisfaction.
