New York, NY – Elias Mouawad, a full-time trader and investor, offers concise arguments about value stocks rather than lengthy articles. His focus is on identifying great entry levels for quality US large caps but may invest in mid caps occasionally. Dividends are considered good, but capital appreciation holds importance. Mouawad applies famous Warren Buffet principles and believes that investing is a simple but not an easy task.

Contrary to other authors, Mouawad does not develop emotional attachments to companies and prefers to buy when there is “blood in the streets.” He stresses the significance of patience in stock investing and the ability to control emotions, citing these as advantages in the market. Mouawad believes that waiting, not education, gives an edge in the stock market. He advises against buying a stock for a short period if one is not prepared to hold it for the long term.

Mouawad expresses admiration for Warren Buffet and Jim Simons and aims to provide readers with accurate recommendations to buy quality stocks at the opportune moment. He acknowledges the challenge of maintaining a successful track record and is committed to being humble enough to admit mistakes and respect differing opinions. Mouawad follows several authors on Seeking Alpha and has witnessed the website’s evolution over time.
