Very few investors can resist the idea of seeking out a bargain but most have no idea how to do it. Too often, new investors in the stock market are seduced by the latest frothy IPO or the hot exploration stock that all the brokers are talking about. This book is about how you can make better profits in the market by focusing on neglected value stocks using some simple, modern and effective techniques. It explores the origins, the concepts and the specific methods used by Benjamin Graham and some of the world’s most famous Value Investors as a means of generating phenomenal wealth. At a time when investors are bombarded by information & opinion at an almost unbearable rate, this book is a critique of what's really important. It assesses what works and why and how individual investors can avoid group-think and apply ‘City grade’ information, thinking and investment models to their own advantage.RECENT REVIEWS"An excellent reference point for anyone looking to get to grips with analysing companies and picking winning investment strategies. The book offers a great introduction to the various investment tactics utilised by the world’s leading value investors [but] it is also about equipping readers with the right mix of both quantitative techniques and qualitative insights to ensure that they can make sense of company accounts and evaluate the merits of investing in each stock," Philip O'Sullivan"A very comprehensive overview of "fundamental" investment techniques and the rules used by the masters", UK Individual Investors Society (ShareSoc)"I thoroughly enjoyed the whole book – it’s well-written, breezy and generally strikes the right balance between overview and detail.. [Its] brevity is actually a big plus. Too many finance/value investing books fail to hold a reader’s attention – they gloss over the details and/or offer no practical ‘how to‘ advice, or bury the reader in an avalanche of formulas & footnotes. Value Stocks gets the balance just about right though, and is much more than just a value investing primer", Value Blogger Wexboy"Good for people new to investing, as it covers a lot of the basics, and various strategies that one can employ. More experienced investors are likely to pick up a couple of tricks along the way, too", Mark Carter"It is only 70 pages “short” and tries to introduce and summarize all relevant “schools” of value investing. The book in my opinion is very well written. I liked especially the very “fluid” language, the very clear and easy to read layout and the many links they have at the end of each chapter. I think its the perfect short book for anyone who wants to get a short well written overview on general value investing principles", Value and Opportunity blog
