How To Value Invest: How I Taught Myself To Become An Excellent Value Investor and How You Can Too
This book has taken me nearly 5 years of hard work reading and listening to thousands of books, websites, articles, and lectures, and thousands of hours of research, writing, and learning to put together. The book is geared towards beginner and intermediate level value investors to help reduce the main problem and frustration I had when I started to teach myself; wasted time. Because of my health issues I could not go to a university to learn how to value and evaluate a company so I had to search the infinite internet myself; page by page, article by article, and book by book.
In the book I have condensed and will share with you all the best information that I have learned from, and some of what I will teach you is below:
Sign up to our mailing list here and get 5 Free Gifts that will help you evaluate stocks better and faster. One of these allowed me to evaluate 3,943 stocks in 40 days manually... And I want you to have it for free.
- How to use the valuation techniques that I use, how to adjust them, and what they mean for the overall investment thesis.
- How to properly evaluate a company’s financial reports, profitability ratios, and debt ratios to help decide if the company is a potentially good investment.
- I will show you how to factor NOL’s, bad management decisions, float, competitive advantages and much more into your investment thesis.
- I will go into great detail about my own thought processes, why I came to the decisions I did, and how to develop your own thought and investment processes.
- I will tell you the proper mind-set and character traits that you either need to have or will need to develop if you want to become an excellent value investor.
- I will tell you how I make sell decisions now and how I used to make them. This includes me sharing how I missed out on a nearly 70% gain in 100 days because I didn’t have the proper sell decision processes in place when I was fully invested and how you can avoid the same mistakes.
- I will share with you how I do research now and how I used to do research by showing you how I now discard bad companies a lot faster which has saved me a lot of time and leads me to finding better companies quicker.
- I will share with you all the best books, websites, and resources that I have learned from.
If you have read this blog from the beginning there will still be a lot of information that I did not include in my original articles that will be included in the book.
I have condensed all the best information that I have learned from over the past 5 years in this book so that you can jump-start your own value investing journey in a much shorter time frame than it took me. If you learn and put into practice what I show you in the book, work hard, continue to learn, and develop your own proper thought, investment processes, and mind-set than I guarantee that you will be a better at evaluating companies for investment than most MBA’s and professional level investors all for less than 1/3 of the price of ONE college textbook, for a fraction of the cost of going to a university, and you will also be saving yourself YEARS of time from having to find all of this information by yourself like I had to.
As of now the book has just under 62,000 words and should be around 210 pages once converted to eBook and Kindle formats.
