Professional Value Investing

Isaac Rosen

Maison d'édition: BookRix

Synopsis

In the vast landscape of financial markets, one investment strategy has stood the test of time and proven itself as a beacon of sound financial practice: value investing. Born out of the philosophy of legendary investors like Benjamin Graham and Warren Buffett, value investing is not merely a technique; it's a mindset that has consistently rewarded those who embrace its principles.
The Essence of Value Investing
At its core, value investing is about discerning the intrinsic value of a security and then investing with a margin of safety. In other words, it's the art of recognizing when the market has undervalued an asset and seizing the opportunity to acquire it at a discount. The principle is simple, yet the execution requires a keen understanding of financial metrics, market psychology, and a patient, long-term perspective.
Historical Success Stories
To truly appreciate the power of value investing, one needs only to look at the track records of some of the most successful investors in history. Benjamin Graham, often referred to as the "father of value investing," laid the groundwork with his timeless book, "The Intelligent Investor." His teachings, which inspired a generation of investors, were later refined and expanded upon by Warren Buffett, arguably the most successful value investor of our time.
Value Investing vs. Other Strategies
Value investing distinguishes itself from other investment strategies, such as growth investing or momentum trading, by prioritizing the fundamental value of assets over short-term market trends. While growth investors focus on companies with high potential for future earnings, and momentum traders ride the wave of market trends, value investors are more concerned with buying assets at a price that provides a margin of safety.
The Contrarian Mindset
One of the hallmarks of value investing is the contrarian mindset. Instead of following the crowd, value investors often find opportunities where others see challenges. This contrarian approach requires courage, conviction, and an ability to withstand short-term market fluctuations.
What to Expect in This Book
This journey into the world of value investing will explore the fundamental principles that underpin this strategy. We will delve into the concept of intrinsic value, discuss economic moats that protect businesses, dissect financial statements to uncover hidden gems, and examine the psychological aspects of market behavior. Moreover, we will provide practical guidance on building and managing a value-focused portfolio.
As we embark on this exploration, remember that value investing is not a get-rich-quick scheme. It's a disciplined approach to wealth creation that requires time, education, and a commitment to sound financial principles. So, fasten your seatbelt, open your mind to new perspectives, and let's dive into the fascinating world of value investing.

The Behavioral Portfolio -...

Phillip Toews

Investment advisors face two challenges. First, the portfolios that we offer clients leave investors vulnerable to severe economic events and emotional stress. Second, the way that we educate investors about their portfolios isn’t effective at helping them curb biases.The Behavioral Portfolio examines the risks of both stock and bond portfolios from historically comprehensive perspective to help illustrate that, based on market history, the current approach could lead to a break-down of clients’ portfolios and our practices. It then lays out an all-seasons approach for investing that both embraces optimism and addresses contingencies of significant risk events.Once portfolios are built according to these new parameters, portfolio communications ar shifted to pro-actively prepare investors for challenges ahead. Instead of following the crowd and shifting out of assets at unfavorable time, investors are trained to both understand the markets and to think counter-intuitively. Behavioral portfolios and communications allows investors to enjoy a higher probability of success and greater peace of mind throughout their investing lives.

Dele Ola

From the #1 award-winning author of Be a Change Agent.
The definition of success and personal achievement is not universal as success comes in different shapes and sizes and at different life stages for everyone. For those looking at where they are and where they want to be and wondering how to get there, do not look any further. Using real-life examples, Dr. Dele Ola presents proven, practicable, and timeless principles to guide you on your journey to great achievements, a journey he calls, "the pursuit of personal leadership."
Dr. Ola has learned that you can only attract great achievements and make great impacts through a process of personal change and imbibing the culture and discipline of successful people. The world must make room for someone who has discovered, and has the desire and determination, to develop and exploit their gifts, talents, and abilities to establish themselves in what they have determined to be their exact purpose and calling in life.
In Pursuit of Personal Leadership, Dr. Ola highlights a missing piece in leadership literature, which is the discovery of one's personal identity. He explains the need for a personal blueprint for success and how to develop your blueprint. Learn how to cultivate the necessary personal leadership attitudes, exploit your creativity, discover and establish your life's work, explore the world of possibilities, and understand the five seasons of personal leadership every successful person experiences.
