Rule #1 has been the basis of excellent investing for the last 80 years by successful investors like Warren Buffett, and it will be the basis of excellent investing 80 years from now.

Certainty comes from this: buying a wonderful business at an attractive price. The word “wonderful” actually encompasses three out of four elements in the Four Ms. This is a part of the must-have checklist before purchasing any stock.

In this podcast, Phil and Danielle discuss why sticking to this checklist is critical for never losing money in investing.
