Value Investing Blaine Robertson

Look through the internet and what you would find is different gimmicks on the best strategy for making money from the stock market. Some preach the gospel of technical analysis. That is, using past data as an indication of things to come. Others simply believe that it is impossible to beat the market. This school of thought believe that one should simply purchase any stock market index then make whatever the market makes.

These approaches and many more are fundamentally flawed for obvious reasons. For technical analysis, past price is never an indication of future market behaviour. So, it is hard to predict what the market would do based on past prices. Also, though there might be some logic to buying an index fund, this is not sustainable as well. There are times when the market simply fails to make profit. Additionally, when inflation is factored in, the profit made from buying market indexes becomes less valuable as the days go by.

What then is the correct way to approach the stock market? The answer is value investing. This approach has been proved over time to be a consistent money maker in the market. Though value investors such as Warren Buffett, we have been shown that this principle can beat the market consistently if followed by a disciplined investor.

This book explores the concept of value investing from a holistic perspective. You would be introduced to the concept and shown how it has developed throw history. You would also be exposed to the fundamentals of value investing and how you can exploit that in your daily investing life. Finally, you would be prepared for a future in investing in value companies.
