Trade at your own risk. I am here only to vomit out my feelings
I think there is a conspiracy somewhere.
Its so "trendy" to be a value investor.
everybody says he wants to be a value investor, better still a value investor in the mould of a Warren Buffett.
Isn't that a badge of honor of sorts?
They want to be a value investor, learn the tools of the trade. A future Warren Buffett.
Proud to tell your girls friends, your parents your husbands and wives.
A speculator? No No.....that is some thing people do in the dark, away from glaring eyes.
So respectable to be a value investor.
I don't want to break your bubble but there is only one Warren Buffett.
What is value investing any way?
According to Investopia, it is....
The strategy of selecting stocks that trade for less than their intrinsic values. Value investors actively seek stocks of companies that they believe the market has undervalued.
intrinsic value? undervalued?
Doesn't everybody love a bargain? The holy grail of intrinsic value commands that they go looking for Low PEs, high discounts to NTA, good growth prospects, even take out their cash flow calculators to do their discounted cash flows.
If it is so easy, you can do some computer programmes and let the computers trade for you. Why you need to do the buying and selling yourself?
Why I say there is a conspiracy? I say so because everybody is sold on the idea of an intrinsic value. That there is such a thing as an intrinsic value.
Sorry to disappoint you but there is no such thing as an intrinsic value in a vacuum. It all depends, its always relative and is always a moving target. This alone should undermine your confidence in so called intrinsic values and under (over) valuations.
Value investing? Its just a fancy title invented by salesmen.
In subsequent instalments, I will show you other ( better ) alternatives.

The value investing is a true believe but i also damn like this statement..."If it is so easy, you can do some computer programmes and let the computers trade for you. Why you need to do the buying and selling yourself?"

A value investor by definition needs two things.....an intrinsic valuation and over / under valuation. Whatever intrinsic valuation one derives, it is just his opinion based on his methodology .
In later installments, we will come to its weaknesses and fallacies.

For me, whatever you call it, it just a label, it would not affect my trading style :D

One example....
a value investor armed with 20 formulas about the past requires that the future earnings is an extrapolation of the past.
a defensive portfolio such as mine requires no such conditions.
it just requires that I choose my entry point well, that my loss is limited and my potential gains far exceeds my potential loss.....it requires that I read market trends ahead of the crowd.
More coming in later installments.

it requires that I read market trends ahead of the crowd. - The greatest fallacy of all time. You are the crowd

Seriously, u really think that value investing is crunching number and arm with different formula? Then u really know nothing about value investing and I suggest you to go and watch the annual meeting of Berkshire Hathaway. It take a lot more to become value investor.
First of all, you need to be discipline and do not influence by noise and crowd behavior. Secondly, you need to understand the business well by looking at their past performance. It provide you a basis of valuation but always bear in mind that past does not represent future. Thirdly, you need to study the nature of the business and also read report, a lots of report for the understanding of the trend of industry. Last, you need to understand the management behavior to ensure the company will not fall because of mismanagement.
It is definitely not easy to be a value investor but it is totally worth it. Every decision you made will double or triple your return. And it is not only about crunching numbers.

Market trend don't mean Composite Index trends....I intend it to mean sectorial trends
Forecasting sectorial trends more reliable than extrapolating earnings from historical figures.
More later.

Or OTB portfolio.
Looks like a pure number crunching portfolio.
No weight to strategy issues of the investee, quality of directors,
A self declared value investor with A small cap portfolio that sinks and swims with small cap index

Undermine confidence? Im surprise someone that never walks the path as a value investor tries to convince others what value investing is not.
Who told you intrinsic value is tangible in the first place.
