What Warren Buffett thinks of most stock pickers?

-

 

How Warren Buffett narrowed down most stock pickers:

  • People treat the stock market as a casino in placing massive bets on the direction of stock prices.
  • Institutional investors sell themselves to masses as highly skilled stock pickers. Parading on their year’s performance as advertising for the public’s short sightedness eager to get rich quickly.
  • Stock pickers are quick with buying on good news and then jumping out on bad news.
  • If the stock doesn’t move within a couple months, they sell it and go onto looking for something else.
What Warren Buffett looks for:
  • Steady 10 year EPS growth
  • Leading economic moat
  • The company has a competitor advantage over its competitors

SEF Appointment (Resident Permit/Autorização de Residência )

-
After successfully obtaining your D7 (temporary) visa, there is usually a web link on your Portugal visa attached to your passport. This link provides you the information for SEF appointment (eg. date and location). The SEF appointment is to obtain your residency permit or known as the Autorização de Residência. Note : I did everything myself and did not use an agent or lawyer (which I hear other people doing). In most cases that I gathered, most appointments are located differently to where you live in Portugal. So there is some hassle to get there. But luckily in my case, my appointment location was in the same city I live in and I got there 45 minutes before the appointment schedule (not necessary, as I still had to wait about 40 minutes until my ticket number was called). When you arrive at the SEF office, you go to the staff/security and let them know you have a SEF appointment and he/she will check your name against the schedule he/she has and give you a ticket number. You just w

Other than using the services of bordr.io (cost 350 Euros to open at the time of writing), the Portuguese bank account I found on the internet that you can open outside of Portugal is Banco Atlantico Europa . When you navigate to "Open Account" the following screens asks you to download its app on Android or Apple app stores. This is what the app looks like in the Android app store. Once you open the app, the following screens will appear and it states the relevant documents you need to upload via the app either from photos or pdfs. You will need to follow the steps to create a User ID, enter your email address, your cellphone number (even if its a non-Portuguese number), your residential address (in your country), your work profession (job title and employer name) and your NIF. Once completed you will need to upload these documents to prove your name (eg. passport), DOB, passport number, nationality, your proof of residential address (eg. driver's licence, utility bills,

I've always believed in doing things by myself as much as possible and trying to lower the costs of doing each activity by understanding the entire process. So I've written this post to explain the steps I took with my "Do it yourself (DIY)" application process and recorded the cost of each process. To begin with the process, I enquired about the D7 visa with the Portuguese Consulate in Sydney Australia, and this is the list of the requirements they provided me (note: amount requirements was based on November 2021 eg. minimum income in Portugal at the time): The official application form and passport requirements are self-explanatory. You should follow the steps accordingly esp. application of the NIF is the very first step, without this you cannot open a Portuguese bank account and sign a registered rental lease. 1. Application of a NIF Use either NIFonline.pt (cost 59.90 Euros plus extra VAT which totals to 73.68 Euros), bordr.io (cost 150 Euros), or AlgarveKnowHow
