This is episode 117 we’re going to continue down the train. You’ll get the pun here in just a minute, a train tracks of answering some listener questions. We get another great one the other day and Andrew, and I wanted to go ahead and take a stab at answering this, so I’m going to go ahead and read the question. Andrew and I will do a little back and forth, so it says, Hello Andrew. I pray that your week is going well. I recently subscribed to your real-money portfolio and learning a lot. I’ve been listening to your podcast for some time now and appreciate you and Dave’s insights. A few months ag,o I ran a screen and found GBX that had some great appeal. I haven’t purchased your VTI but have something that I’ve been using to assess intrinsic value using Morningstar and guru focus information. Question with the market cap being around 750 million and the sales being 2.8 1 billion, how does that fit into your preferred metrics for screening? I liked the other numbers a lot, and I’m just wondering could this be a value trap just because it is a smaller company. Thank you for your time. Again. Thank you for sharing what you weren’t in an understandable way, Kevin. All right, Andrew takes a stab at and talk about what we were talking about before we came on the air. <br> <br> <br> <br> Andrew: <a href="https://www.temi.com/editor/t/N2R7b1cka1eUw5wWDmcFTq8jRUA0AXcK3WIiD9yMtn7pFoHQ_hHTot3sOWCpTnIU-UktaT_llFvmdqtuWq1iaubn3MM?loadFrom=DocumentDeeplink&ts=111.36">01:51</a> Okay.<br> Yeah. So my idea for this, obviously I’m going to answer the question<br> eventually, and you’re going to have to remind me. But I think, so w we were<br> looking at this. This is a stock I have; I haven’t looked at before. I don’t<br> believe you looked at it before either. So we were in the pre-show going in and<br> going through our approach on, you know, checking out stock like this. And I<br> was thinking, well this is pretty useful. Why don’t we do the same thing but<br> share it with the audience? So I have a lot of things that pop into my mind<br> when I look at a stock like this. I’ll probably go on tangents to my tangents<br> in this episode. So bear with me.
