    How do you prioritize potential buys (when a recession comes)?

    Posted: 05 Jan 2020 10:32 AM PST

    I've spent the last year learning value investing (with 0 background in business or finance). I have about 20 "YES!" companies that passed "part 1" my checklist of criteria with flying colors (have healthy steady historical financial performance, I can understand how the company makes money, low debt equity ratio, management is transparent enough, etc.). If I had to prioritize which companies I want to buy "on sale" in a recessive market on this criteria alone, I think I'd be able to.

    Where I'm getting stuck, and perpetually spinning my wheels, is utilizing the answers from "Part 2" of my checklist which includes deeper questions such as- Is the company dependent on only a few customers? Do their products add any personal or societal value? Has the company "diworsify"-ed into unrelated areas of business? Do they have a good sales strategy? What do they spend on R&D compared to competitors? What are the employee reviews on Glassdoor? Will they have to compete with Google, Amazon, or China? Does the CEO have a large amount of worth in his company's stock? And so forth.

    I know (or so I've been told) that the answers to these questions are important to know as a potential shareholder, but I can't figure out a method for applying them into my system of prioritizing. I doubt there's a single linear approach; so I'm just looking for any guidance or advice. Thanks.
