With Investor Phil Town

InvestED: Ep. 241- Quick Questions: Bankruptcy

“Investing is about getting to know yourself a lot better than you do.” – Phil Town

Have you taken full responsibility for your investments?

In this episode of InvestED, Phil and Danielle dig into this question by answering another “Quick Questions with InvestED” left by a listener about investments and bankruptcy.

As a Rule #1 investor, it’s important to take full responsibility for your investments and follow the Four M’s for successful investing. The moat of the company you invest in should be so good and the business straightforward.

Bankruptcy doesn’t happen overnight – it’s a long time coming.

PG&E (Pacific Gas and Electric) is the company that Phil and Danielle discuss and its recent file for bankruptcy.
