I've introduced a few more stocks in this blog earlier this month and I believe that it's a good tool to get new stock ideas in a hot market.
The markets are not cheap for the time being and high-quality stocks have a much higher premium rate. But the good thing is that this should not make it impossible to find new investment targets.
You must have patience to get the right investments at the right prices. Only the disciplined investor makes the better return.
