Hello, any body in this forum who are value investor...Warren Buffet approach of same kind of strategy. I'm looking for people to have a common interest and maybe form a investing club someday.
 
Look up www.investrcentre.com which was started by Rory Gillen (previous co-founder of Merion Capital).

I have no affiliation to them but he has a good track record and approaches to value investing. He runs courses and some free workshops.
 
hi panitan..i am an avid value investor and great fan of ben graham and warren buffett.

I try my best to follow in their footsteps!
 
I attended his introduction seminar last tuesday. Not sure yet with their approach and strategy..the 1 day seminar is a comprehensive of value investing.

Great, I'm a a follower of Warren and other value investors. Read and watch loads of books and youtube videos about investing (warrren buffet).
How long have you been investing as a value investor? I have tried some valuation scorecard and invested in US stocks.
where are you based?
 

Hi Panitanfc..i am based in ireland..southeast...have been investing actively for about 5 years.

Ive made mistakes (who doesnt) but none big enough to cause huge damage.
Have a mix of mostly UK, Irish, French and US stocks. Spend a lot of time reading other value unvestor books, reports etc. Must have read at least 30 value investor related books at this stage.

Hi I love value over growth also.

Check out James Montier and Jeremy Grantham of GMO. Great value investors.

I am currently keen on large cap, cash generative, high yield, defensives here in the UK.

The US market has some great value plays also but their market is a bit more expensive and yields are lower.

Large caps cheapest since 1951 -

ringledman,

Yes I have watched this...have you watch the documentary about him with Evan Davies of Dragon's Den? It's still in youtube and it's worth watching.


@ smiley: Probably you have read all the books I have read.

Here is my book list.

Rule #1 of Phil Town
Payback Time by Phil Town
The Warren Buffet Way
The Warren Buffet Interpretation of Financial Statements
The Naked Trader, Robbie Burns
Snow Ball
The Intelligent Investor
Security Analysis
Rich Dad guide to Investing
Beating the Street, Peter Lynch

and more related books about business and Stock Market.

I'm just so happy that I found people who are Value investor here in the Dublin Or Ireland. Maybe we could meet up guys and have chat and exchange ideas, knowledge and learn from each how to be better investor.
 

Yes the Evan Davies one was good.

You should add 'Value Investing' by James Montier to that list. Contemporary and excellent.

I would love to meet up but have left Dublin.

Please keep the Value threads going though!

Do any of you look for value in the small to mid cap range? I am only looking at the large caps at present, I guess this is where value is mostly found (more high yielding).

Also anyone know any good stock screeners for P/E, yield, P/Book etc?

A lot of screeners you have to question the quality of the data.
 
Ringleman, Buy this book of Phil Town and surely it will give how to screen stocks in seconds. He uses MSN Money, Yahoo Finance and Google Finance. It saves you a lot of time. I have tested and tried it.
In this book he mentions about MOAT, MANAGEMENT AND MARGIN OF SAFETY....I started form there and Learned a Lot. You have devour this book in order to get the formula, once you know it...it easy.
Robbie Burns, Naked Trader is also good...when you reading Financial statements you can detect Red Flag immediately.

I'm Checking KO and BP
 
Do you reckon you can read the charts and detect the red flags better (or even as well as) the full time professional fund managers also operating in the same markets?

Ah, you are making a presumption that professional fund managers read balance sheets...most do not.

they wouldnt know what a balance sheet was if it came up and bit them on the ass!
 

hi panit..ive read a good few of those...ive also read a number of books by....joel greenblatt, david dreman,anthony bolton,chris browne, p fisher, john templeton etc.
 
There is much mention of Warren Buffett here for obvious reasons. However, if looking to a value investor that you would like to follow in terms of replicating their strategy, then I would place Buffett well down the list. His track record speaks for itself. However despite its often simplified presentation, his approach is extremely complex and in my opinion is beyond replication by the average investor. Read up about the successful value investor's and take as much from them as you can - (resources include tweedy browne, tilson, legg mason, GMO, oaktree, chou, royce, brandes to name but a few)

Here's one piece of Buffett advice you can ignore:
He is disparaging about diversification. Fine for him, but way too many banana skins out there for the rest of us mortals. Ignore him.
Buying individual stocks in the hope of beating people that do it professionally and get paid is a fiction convenient only to stock brokers and spread betting companies.

I would say the majority of so called 'professionals' charge extortionate fees for average or poor performance.

Just look at the funds out there who merely mirror each other and the market as they are far too scarred to miss one quater of the markets performace.

The belief that professional money managers are any good is wrong, with the exception of the 1% who know what they are doing and take a long term view (Anthony Bolton, Neil Woodford, Jeremy Grantham, etc).

What Buffett says is - If you want diversification and haven't the time to manage and read up about investment then buy cheap index trackers. Don't go to the 99% who charge high fees for nothing.
 
This is a pretty interesting site for value investors, google: valueinvestorsclub
(i cant post the full link), it was set up by Joel Greenblatt.

You need to pass an accreditation process to have full access to the site but with guest membership you can view ideas that are 45 days old. Mostly US equities but some of the posts provide a wealth of learning on how to analyse a comany.
 
Ringledman
This could form the basis of an extended separate thread, so I won't labour the point(s), but you are partially right
Active managers have let themselves down and the evidence is irrefutable a this stage. However the vast majority don't even set out with the ability to add value (against the index). True and successful value manager's cannot function properly within a conventional fund management structure. There just isn't the appetite for the inevitable underperformance at most institutions. That's why the value premium persists. There are plenty of good active manager's out there, but they are cloaked in a structure that doesn't facilitate the ability to demonstrate 'skill'
 

The question then is: 'how does a value investor buy funds if so many are obsessed with short term performance, stock churn, keeping up with the market regardless of its direction?'

In the UK I see 'closed end' funds as taking a more long term, value approach and holding stocks for years and not months as you get with unit funds.

Any other way of value investing except for buying individual stocks?
