What are the best strategies to protect my portfolio? I've heard that a downturn will devastate the financial market, so I'm concerned about my $200k stock portfolio.
There are strategies that could be put in place for solid gains regardless of economy situation, but such execution is usually carried out by an investment specialist.

Lastly, I'll add a percentage that I deem I need for a margin of safety (1%-5%) The more obviously good a company is, the less margin of safety I need.

Netflix was a perfect example of a hated stock that became a relative bargain this year. it gave ~100% return in ~6 months after giving you ~2 months to hop on the train north.
Peter told way more than that and its not about value a business is all about rather buying great business which is easy to understand at a fair price for long term to get a great return.

According to GPT answer to "Value Investing Explained in 5 Levels of Difficulty": 1. Basic: Value investing is a strategy that involves purchasing stocks that are undervalued by the market, with the goal of realizing a profit when the stock's value eventually rises. This is typically done by identifying companies with strong financial performance, good management, and attractive growth prospects that are trading at a lower price than their intrinsic value. 2. Intermediate: To find undervalued stocks, value investors often look for companies with a low price-to-earnings ratio (P/E ratio), a low price-to-book ratio (P/B ratio), or a high dividend yield. They also consider factors such as a company's earnings growth, cash flow, and debt levels. Once a stock is identified as undervalued, the value investor will typically hold onto it for a longer period of time, waiting for the market to recognize its true value and drive the price up. 3. Advanced: In addition to financial analysis, value investors may also consider qualitative factors such as a company's management team, competitive advantage, and industry trends. They may also use fundamental analysis techniques, such as discounted cash flow analysis, to estimate the intrinsic value of a company and compare it to its market price. 4. Expert: Value investors may also use more advanced techniques such as option pricing models and Monte Carlo simulations to evaluate the risk and potential return of a stock. They may also employ portfolio management strategies, such as diversification and rebalancing, to manage risk and optimize returns. 5. Master: At the highest level, value investors may use sophisticated machine learning algorithms and big data analysis to identify undervalued stocks and create custom portfolios that are optimized for their specific investment goals. They may also use advanced financial engineering techniques, such as short selling and derivative instruments, to hedge against risk and maximize returns.
I believe that in value investing losses are just as important as gains. Rule one is never lose money. Keep the capital you have and keep as much of the capital your investment has made.
Selling when the stock goes up over time is limiting because tou have to go find another barron. Better to buy wonderful companies and hole them forever. That's compound interest at its finest.
Wow, this is an excellent video! I like how you applied the 5 levels concept to value investing. I also like the train ride presentation. I appreciate your explanations and illustrations. It was all very helpful, particularly the types of margin of safety. I also like the analogy of bidding on USD vs INR. I love the LOTR clip! Thank you for this.

Everyone has been preaching "buy now, stocks are at a discount" but I've been buying stocks since the beginning of the year and yet nothing's changed, but I've been reading articles of people still in the same market pulling off over 350k in just a couple months, what am i doing wrong?
Many thanks for the lovely video, as usual, I always wait for your videos. The only thing I want to share in the context of this video which I know is unpopular opinion, is that in the latest videos of Mohnish Pabrai, he explicitly mentioned that in his updated investment framework he keeps companies and dont sell even if they are trading above intrinsic value, only when business started to loose their moat he sells,otherwise he is still fine to hold when share prices goes beyond intrinsic value
Cheers for the support mm0dk0ur! Many value investors seem to change their approach to "hold forever" once they've acquired a large fortune. Buffett also did this, but when he was younger and had a smaller account (like I assume that you and I have), he was in and out of companies quite frequently when he thought they were over or undervalued.
I think becoz buffet got high returns doing so when he had a small checkbook.large companies do not give large returns (unless perhaps becoz of you holding a large position).so once he got to a level this was a safe way way to park his money in wonderful companies at fair prices which would be probably be there for the next 100years or so. Ex Coco cola ,apple,. Quite similar to gold. So money is parked safely He holds a large position so he is in on board meetings He gets dividends from these stocks which give him cashflow to either reinvest or into other stocks or just wait During a crash this strategy is even more ❤😂 Safe powerful way of investing by Mr Buffet and mr Munger
Here is my value investing portfolio (til June 2025 - then I have a look). Dare to say it will outperform: Rheinmetall NVidia Microsoft Bitcoin Group SE Corestate Capital
Odd to not here you touch on “circle of competence” when I’ve heard the term so often learning about value investing in the last 6 months or so. Do you not consider staying within one’s circle of competence to be an important part of value investing?
Mitch C you are definitely correct that the Circle of Competence is an important concept for all value investors. It is only briefly mentioned at the first level: "After finding an asset that you understand, you should insist on a bargain price. Basically ...". It is probably difficult to go through level 4 without some basic understanding of the business, but I think you are correct. It deserves a little more attention than given here.

The stock market is not the way to become wealthy or financially free. It's a way to retire. Even if you have a million dollar stock portfolio, it won't be viable for 30+ years. When it does become viable, that 1 million dollars will have less value because of inflation. If you want to become financially free, you have to invest in passive income streams. The stock market is not a passive income stream. You put money into it in the hopes that the stocks you invest in will be worth more than you bought them at.
If you research and invest properly it can become a way to be financially free. It creates an opportunity for you to be in a situation where you can work and dont have to work. Inflation depreciates your money, obviously, but you dont make a million dollars and quit the stock market. A million dollars isnt even a lot now. You compound your earnings and if you have done your research on your companies and understand the markets for those companies, you can compound your money properly and see upwards of 20% returns a year. The stock market is a way out if you are willing to do the work and research.
Question: In 5:40 it's stated that Tom is perfectly happy if noone buys his Pepsi stock because he collects the cashflows. What cashflows? If I have a company stock I don't get anything from its earnings. So my only hope for some gains is to sell the stock for higher price. What am I missing here?
@@josep6593 Yes, but a lot of companies don't pay dividends. Generally dividends are just peanuts unless you've invested thousands and even millions in the stock. And good cashflow doesn't guarantee that the stock price will move up, so you can end up losing money even after receiving dividends.
@@musaka87 That is obviously something to take into account when choosing which company to invest in. You can see it as a somewhat guaranteed return of your investment. Even if the stock price has been going down a bit, you already received a portion of your investment back through the dividends. Also, you are essentially owning a part of the company through your share. If for example the company you are invested in wants to go private, your shares have to be bought back first, so you are guaranteed some money that way. Even if the worst case happens and a company goes bankrupt, you are (at least in theory) entitled to get a percentage of the value of selling off its assets and distributing its remaining cash reserves, since you owned a part of the company. That is the argument made about intrinsic value when compared to e.g. an NFT, which only exists digitally and does not generate any value at all if nobody wants to buy it.
I would count stock buybacks as a cash flow, even though you do have to sell to take advantage. The distinction is that the business generates the cash for buybacks, not an outside speculator. Of course dividends should be counted as well. If the stock doesn't generate dividends or buybacks I'm suspicious (looking at you, Berkshire, with your enormous insurance liabilities layered throughout the company)

I remember this from one of his previous summaries. "Dividends are like the screens on the back of car seats. It shouldn't be used to determine the value of a car but some people insist on it anyways"
I love your videos. The funny thing is that you can currently apply SOME of the same principles to some crypto DAOs during the current bear market, some are trading at below their net assets, net assets that are liquid, which I've done in the past few months (while watching your videos, and applying the same mindset) and have done well so far, especially when a vote to disperse assets between holders goes through. The craziest example was $7m mcap (crashed from $220m mcap) with $24m in assets, which got disbursed between the holders through a vote. Ofcourse this is not usually the case, and only applies to a very small portion, most (easily 99%+) are still vastly overvalued from a value investing perspective
Hey Garmon D! Very interesting to hear! These assets are other assets than cryptos? It sounds like you may have found an interesting intersection where there is little competition. Not many of the old value investors are looking at cryptos and the crypto crowd (most often at least) dosn't understand value investing.
@@TheSwedishInvestor The vast majority only holds crypto assets, although they tend to be stable coins (like USDC), which is backed by cash & short dated US treasuries. Which is less risky than algorithmic stable coins (I'm sure you've heard of the disaster at terra luna) There is one that is currently at $14m mcap, with $10m in USDC, and 18m tonnes in carbon credits that are verra accredited, (with the credits currently worth $24m, was $190m when times were better) . The carbon credits are obviously not as liquid, and I don't think a liquidation will happen. (Their goal is to attempt make a more transparent and liquid market place, as in the traditional market it's all OTC and not transparent with little liquidity) The others are all in stable coins, or other cryptos with no/little real world value. You're completely correct with the crypto crowd. Honestly it's insane to watch, both the highs and the lows, the above example was $1.1bn market cap at their peak. Short term price movements is the only thing that is important to most. With very little regard to intrinsic value, both during the highs and the lows. However, I don't suggest any one to invest unless they have a lot of experience in the space already, and are comfortable taking on risk, it's unregulated, and scams can, and do happen. This all happens in DEFI which is a lot more complicated than using central exchanges/brokers, as you need to self custody with your own wallet, which are inherently risky.
I’m not sure Warren Buffett considers cryptocurrency as assets as he’d understand them. On a basic level they don’t produce anything, and the returns are solely speculative on that basis. Whilst I personally think there’s a space for a few coins (?bitcoin, etherium) for blockchain and transactions, many try to increase their worth with a ‘greater fool’ argument- I.e. you need to find someone who wants the ‘asset’ more than you to realise profit. As these coins don’t work for you (unlike fractional share ownership) they only add value in this way.
Hey i have a question. I often here value investors say. By a stock that is undervalued and then sell once the stock reaches fair value! That part i understand as it make sense. However if you always sell once the stock reaches fair value. How do you ever hold onto a multi bagger if your always selling at fair value? What about the buy and hold strategy?

lost already at stage one. the investor does not necessarily have access to the cash flow via company profits, so the share has no intrinsic value unless the company pays dividends? that seems important, no?
High level value investor here: A very good video, and I agree with everything that has been said, BUT value investing goes much much further than this. I'd categorise everything here as intermediate or lower. I'd argue that the 'advanced' and 'expert' levels arise when the investor starts evaluating the currencies and economies that overlay/underpin specific investments.
Wait, you beat the market by 200% ?!? Do You have a course on this? I saw Your video about how You pick stocks but maybe something even more specific? :)

Very good. Although I'd say that DCF analysis has two advantages. The process of constructing the model leads to a better understanding of what drives the profits and cash flows. And the results provide an additional tool for sorting through or ranking the best opportunities.
I think its really biased to put speculators as people who buy nft's and value investors as people who read books that don't talk about any industry in particular, just a general guide to investing. I used to be very proud of being a "value investor". In every one of those books they treat price as just another variable ("buy cheap"). Okey how do I really know its cheap? PE ratios? Comparison with peers of the industry? NO. As Peter Lynch said, stock market, is a market, and people run it, so its more of a sociological/philosophical endeavour to choose private securities. Secondly, you can have unbelievable potential by speculating. Lets face it, a market is for buying and selling, and you get money if you sell to a higher price than the one you paid. Knowbody will buy anything that hypothetically just goes down to 0 (in fact they will sell it, this is just basic psychological finance behaviour). Then that's what i find decieving about value investing (they act cool saying "i don't care much about price") that is just lazyness and conformity (yeah just do a dcf model and you are great!). Value investing is a great propaganda tool for institutions, because they attract common people into easy investing promising safety (after maybe waiting 10 years to sell) and a sure return. You need to be very naive if you think reading generic value investing books will make you earn some money ( i don't mean a 10% yearly, for the amount of risk you take buying any private security you should not be accepting less than 50% yearly) in a decent time frame (not 5 years, 1.5 year max, if not the opportunity cost is just massive). There is no scientifical approach to investing, there is no method, there are no rules really. Some micro oiler went up 200% in 2 days, some mining companies 100% in 2 days. If you don't have more than 5000 please, don't do value investing, you will loose money on the long run. Value investing is only useful if you have really high quantities of money above 100.000 I would say and you have an steady salary income. Young people wanting to enter into investing (maybe putting 500$ or something) should learn literally anything about one specific industry, learn every term, and understand everything and find huge percieved potential. I just understand about exploration mining companies and there "percieved high potential" is high chance of a great mineral deposit. So in this case i learned the geology, I made sure no institutional big players are either inside the capital or trading the stock, and of course only canadian and australian exchanges. Diversify if you see an equally better high percieved potential. And as for the price, I buy below the 2 years to date mean price (using techincal analysis might wotk too as well, because technical analysis WORKS in a general basis for spotting possible max and lows). Even Graham said in the intelligent investor that you can have a 10% of your money in those "crazy plays". Im sure Graham knew nothing about geology and mineral prospecting, so why not using 100% of your potential if you know more than the "masters".
The reason why you think value investing is also a fad from institution is because value is EXTREMELY HARD to determine The argument about having large capital in order to value investing is a straw man argument, 20% gain is the same whether you have 1000 or 100000, the key is that, how consistent you are pulling that 20% gain. You have prove it by yourself, you understand geology "enough" so you can understand the potential of of mineral deposit, isnt that "value investing" Understand the value of the mine when current price doesnt reflect the true value? That profit generate from those mine > current price I have read somewhere, Graham buy an undervalued mid stream oil company when valuing it asset, he stated that company pipeline have a strategic location, when the current price did not fully reflect the book value, he triple/double his money in just 2 years, dont remember the exact story. But the point here, he understand the value of those oil pipe as much as you understand your mineral mines -> Sound familiar ? The problem of value investing is that, you never understand why these securities are "valuable" to them, it is the understanding and research that count, and everyone have their own research and assessment, they never said why, just the methodology. And people just magically give it a value and call it value investing, that why it is a fad among institution
sadly, you can't value invest without trading. because the prices are speculative. so are share buybacks. companies are lead by CEOs that want their share price to go high to dump. which leads to fucked up things.
Hi. I just notice that the graph from 7:25 of discount rate suddenly change at 7:28. Now I am really confuse. It will really be helpful if you clarify this. Thanksss!
Use a minimum of 10% discount rate or the current 10 year treasury yield +5%, whichever is higher at the time. The idea is that by using a higher discount rate you end up with a higher margin of safety. In the last 5 years treasury yields have been unusually low, so using them as a discount rate would lead you to buy at very high prices and you will lose a lot of money in case they rise to say 5-6%. Prices differ a lot between using a discount rate of 1% and a discount rate of 5%.
If have 3 big collections buyt for 670 250 150 220 50 bezine euro stamps i have buyt for 1670 euro clocks, buyt for 25.000 coins. Everything is more worth today.
Quick comment: Buying is not one half of the investment process, but one third: buying, holding, and selling. And Charlie Munger and a few others think that the holding process is the most important (as there, the tax-free compounding of money takes place).

Hey, I'm working on a research project to understand the biggest challenges people have with value investing. would you mind answering some questions? If so, I will share my findings and of course answer any questions you may have (I'm a 30 year value investor who has enjoyed strong performance.)
I don't use a DCF model,I buy wonderful companies when their shares are selling at a 50% discount,and that's it.
That last bit explains why Michael Burry bought Geo Group.
Your content is extremely good. I admire you.
According to GPT answer to "Value Investing Explained in 5 Levels of Difficulty":
1. Basic: Value investing is a strategy that involves purchasing stocks that are undervalued by the market, with the goal of realizing a profit when the stock's value eventually rises. This is typically done by identifying companies with strong financial performance, good management, and attractive growth prospects that are trading at a lower price than their intrinsic value.
2. Intermediate: To find undervalued stocks, value investors often look for companies with a low price-to-earnings ratio (P/E ratio), a low price-to-book ratio (P/B ratio), or a high dividend yield. They also consider factors such as a company's earnings growth, cash flow, and debt levels. Once a stock is identified as undervalued, the value investor will typically hold onto it for a longer period of time, waiting for the market to recognize its true value and drive the price up.
3. Advanced: In addition to financial analysis, value investors may also consider qualitative factors such as a company's management team, competitive advantage, and industry trends. They may also use fundamental analysis techniques, such as discounted cash flow analysis, to estimate the intrinsic value of a company and compare it to its market price.
4. Expert: Value investors may also use more advanced techniques such as option pricing models and Monte Carlo simulations to evaluate the risk and potential return of a stock. They may also employ portfolio management strategies, such as diversification and rebalancing, to manage risk and optimize returns.
5. Master: At the highest level, value investors may use sophisticated machine learning algorithms and big data analysis to identify undervalued stocks and create custom portfolios that are optimized for their specific investment goals. They may also use advanced financial engineering techniques, such as short selling and derivative instruments, to hedge against risk and maximize returns.
Interesting! Thank you!
hi can you make a video about mark minervinis books? thanks
I love the title of this video!
I believe that in value investing losses are just as important as gains. Rule one is never lose money. Keep the capital you have and keep as much of the capital your investment has made.
Bro for your information the 1000 Rupees notes in India are banned now Our country now has 500 and 2000Rs of notes
Simply the best summary on value investing. Tangible and applicable information yet simple! Thank you "The Swedish Investor"
Great video. Comment for the algorithm
1:00 lol the y axis ;>>>
Selling when the stock goes up over time is limiting because tou have to go find another barron. Better to buy wonderful companies and hole them forever. That's compound interest at its finest.
Wow, this is an excellent video! I like how you applied the 5 levels concept to value investing. I also like the train ride presentation. I appreciate your explanations and illustrations. It was all very helpful, particularly the types of margin of safety. I also like the analogy of bidding on USD vs INR. I love the LOTR clip! Thank you for this.

@@ronrimkus8295 Sure, I can do that. Sounds interesting!
That example with Felix had me thinking of Masterworks. Is that what you were hinting at?
I’d love to see a video about the best apps to invest on the stock market
Everyone has been preaching "buy now, stocks are at a discount" but I've been buying stocks since the beginning of the year and yet nothing's changed, but I've been reading articles of people still in the same market pulling off over 350k in just a couple months, what am i doing wrong?
It is still a great time to get in positions for now.
Brilliant and very informative.
Bra video, bra förklarat!
Tack Bobby, kul att du tyckte om den!
Many thanks for the lovely video, as usual, I always wait for your videos. The only thing I want to share in the context of this video which I know is unpopular opinion, is that in the latest videos of Mohnish Pabrai, he explicitly mentioned that in his updated investment framework he keeps companies and dont sell even if they are trading above intrinsic value, only when business started to loose their moat he sells,otherwise he is still fine to hold when share prices goes beyond intrinsic value
Cheers for the support mm0dk0ur! Many value investors seem to change their approach to "hold forever" once they've acquired a large fortune. Buffett also did this, but when he was younger and had a smaller account (like I assume that you and I have), he was in and out of companies quite frequently when he thought they were over or undervalued.
I think becoz buffet got high returns doing so when he had a small checkbook.large companies do not give large returns (unless perhaps becoz of you holding a large position).so once he got to a level this was a safe way way to park his money in wonderful companies at fair prices which would be probably be there for the next 100years or so. Ex Coco cola ,apple,. Quite similar to gold.
So money is parked safely
He holds a large position so he is in on board meetings
He gets dividends from these stocks which give him cashflow to either reinvest or into other stocks or just wait
During a crash this strategy is even more ❤😂
Safe powerful way of investing by Mr Buffet and mr Munger
It occurs to me that value investors are simply classes of rent seekers who claim to be investors :-)

Odd to not here you touch on “circle of competence” when I’ve heard the term so often learning about value investing in the last 6 months or so. Do you not consider staying within one’s circle of competence to be an important part of value investing?
Mitch C you are definitely correct that the Circle of Competence is an important concept for all value investors. It is only briefly mentioned at the first level: "After finding an asset that you understand, you should insist on a bargain price. Basically ...". It is probably difficult to go through level 4 without some basic understanding of the business, but I think you are correct. It deserves a little more attention than given here.

Hey make detailed video on how to judge the management of a company
The stock market is not the way to become wealthy or financially free. It's a way to retire. Even if you have a million dollar stock portfolio, it won't be viable for 30+ years. When it does become viable, that 1 million dollars will have less value because of inflation. If you want to become financially free, you have to invest in passive income streams. The stock market is not a passive income stream. You put money into it in the hopes that the stocks you invest in will be worth more than you bought them at.
If you research and invest properly it can become a way to be financially free. It creates an opportunity for you to be in a situation where you can work and dont have to work. Inflation depreciates your money, obviously, but you dont make a million dollars and quit the stock market. A million dollars isnt even a lot now. You compound your earnings and if you have done your research on your companies and understand the markets for those companies, you can compound your money properly and see upwards of 20% returns a year. The stock market is a way out if you are willing to do the work and research.
Could you list the book list from the intro, please?
Thanks so much
Benjamin Graham never invested in shit. He just bought companies that were listed below book value and immediately liquidated them.
Quite the train ride
Question: In 5:40 it's stated that Tom is perfectly happy if noone buys his Pepsi stock because he collects the cashflows. What cashflows? If I have a company stock I don't get anything from its earnings. So my only hope for some gains is to sell the stock for higher price. What am I missing here?
Dividends
@@josep6593 Yes, but a lot of companies don't pay dividends. Generally dividends are just peanuts unless you've invested thousands and even millions in the stock. And good cashflow doesn't guarantee that the stock price will move up, so you can end up losing money even after receiving dividends.
@@musaka87 That is obviously something to take into account when choosing which company to invest in. You can see it as a somewhat guaranteed return of your investment. Even if the stock price has been going down a bit, you already received a portion of your investment back through the dividends.
Also, you are essentially owning a part of the company through your share. If for example the company you are invested in wants to go private, your shares have to be bought back first, so you are guaranteed some money that way. Even if the worst case happens and a company goes bankrupt, you are (at least in theory) entitled to get a percentage of the value of selling off its assets and distributing its remaining cash reserves, since you owned a part of the company. That is the argument made about intrinsic value when compared to e.g. an NFT, which only exists digitally and does not generate any value at all if nobody wants to buy it.
I would count stock buybacks as a cash flow, even though you do have to sell to take advantage. The distinction is that the business generates the cash for buybacks, not an outside speculator. Of course dividends should be counted as well.
If the stock doesn't generate dividends or buybacks I'm suspicious (looking at you, Berkshire, with your enormous insurance liabilities layered throughout the company)

Hello, have you done some videos about dividend investors? Great content and well explained... very easy to go thru each topic. congrats.
I remember this from one of his previous summaries. "Dividends are like the screens on the back of car seats. It shouldn't be used to determine the value of a car but some people insist on it anyways"
Great content as always. What software did you use to do you illustrations and animation?
Dont get me wrong but a value investor video with so many “sell” mentions is kind of funny.
Perfection❤
You’re the man thank you
I love your videos. The funny thing is that you can currently apply SOME of the same principles to some crypto DAOs during the current bear market, some are trading at below their net assets, net assets that are liquid, which I've done in the past few months (while watching your videos, and applying the same mindset) and have done well so far, especially when a vote to disperse assets between holders goes through. The craziest example was $7m mcap (crashed from $220m mcap) with $24m in assets, which got disbursed between the holders through a vote. Ofcourse this is not usually the case, and only applies to a very small portion, most (easily 99%+) are still vastly overvalued from a value investing perspective
Hey Garmon D! Very interesting to hear! These assets are other assets than cryptos? It sounds like you may have found an interesting intersection where there is little competition. Not many of the old value investors are looking at cryptos and the crypto crowd (most often at least) dosn't understand value investing.
@@TheSwedishInvestor The vast majority only holds crypto assets, although they tend to be stable coins (like USDC), which is backed by cash & short dated US treasuries. Which is less risky than algorithmic stable coins (I'm sure you've heard of the disaster at terra luna)
There is one that is currently at $14m mcap, with $10m in USDC, and 18m tonnes in carbon credits that are verra accredited, (with the credits currently worth $24m, was $190m when times were better) . The carbon credits are obviously not as liquid, and I don't think a liquidation will happen. (Their goal is to attempt make a more transparent and liquid market place, as in the traditional market it's all OTC and not transparent with little liquidity)
The others are all in stable coins, or other cryptos with no/little real world value.
You're completely correct with the crypto crowd. Honestly it's insane to watch, both the highs and the lows, the above example was $1.1bn market cap at their peak. Short term price movements is the only thing that is important to most. With very little regard to intrinsic value, both during the highs and the lows.
However, I don't suggest any one to invest unless they have a lot of experience in the space already, and are comfortable taking on risk, it's unregulated, and scams can, and do happen. This all happens in DEFI which is a lot more complicated than using central exchanges/brokers, as you need to self custody with your own wallet, which are inherently risky.
@@garmond6946 Simple question: How much cash it produce?
I’m not sure Warren Buffett considers cryptocurrency as assets as he’d understand them. On a basic level they don’t produce anything, and the returns are solely speculative on that basis.
Whilst I personally think there’s a space for a few coins (?bitcoin, etherium) for blockchain and transactions, many try to increase their worth with a ‘greater fool’ argument- I.e. you need to find someone who wants the ‘asset’ more than you to realise profit.
As these coins don’t work for you (unlike fractional share ownership) they only add value in this way.
Hey i have a question. I often here value investors say. By a stock that is undervalued and then sell once the stock reaches fair value! That part i understand as it make sense. However if you always sell once the stock reaches fair value. How do you ever hold onto a multi bagger if your always selling at fair value? What about the buy and hold strategy?

lost already at stage one. the investor does not necessarily have access to the cash flow via company profits, so the share has no intrinsic value unless the company pays dividends? that seems important, no?
Hi, can I know which software you used for the whiteboard animation in all your videos?
Great video... i would like to know what is your opinon on the shameless cloner approach of Mohnish Pabrai is suggesting in a lot of his interviews.
Background music ?
High level value investor here: A very good video, and I agree with everything that has been said, BUT value investing goes much much further than this. I'd categorise everything here as intermediate or lower. I'd argue that the 'advanced' and 'expert' levels arise when the investor starts evaluating the currencies and economies that overlay/underpin specific investments.
Wait, you beat the market by 200% ?!? Do You have a course on this? I saw Your video about how You pick stocks but maybe something even more specific? :)

amazing
This is such a great explanation, thank you!
What are you using for the visuals in your videos?
Great explanation very easy to understand 👌
Very good. Although I'd say that DCF analysis has two advantages. The process of constructing the model leads to a better understanding of what drives the profits and cash flows. And the results provide an additional tool for sorting through or ranking the best opportunities.
Awesome video, thank you very much! :)
I think its really biased to put speculators as people who buy nft's and value investors as people who read books that don't talk about any industry in particular, just a general guide to investing. I used to be very proud of being a "value investor". In every one of those books they treat price as just another variable ("buy cheap"). Okey how do I really know its cheap? PE ratios? Comparison with peers of the industry? NO. As Peter Lynch said, stock market, is a market, and people run it, so its more of a sociological/philosophical endeavour to choose private securities. Secondly, you can have unbelievable potential by speculating. Lets face it, a market is for buying and selling, and you get money if you sell to a higher price than the one you paid. Knowbody will buy anything that hypothetically just goes down to 0 (in fact they will sell it, this is just basic psychological finance behaviour). Then that's what i find decieving about value investing (they act cool saying "i don't care much about price") that is just lazyness and conformity (yeah just do a dcf model and you are great!). Value investing is a great propaganda tool for institutions, because they attract common people into easy investing promising safety (after maybe waiting 10 years to sell) and a sure return. You need to be very naive if you think reading generic value investing books will make you earn some money ( i don't mean a 10% yearly, for the amount of risk you take buying any private security you should not be accepting less than 50% yearly) in a decent time frame (not 5 years, 1.5 year max, if not the opportunity cost is just massive). There is no scientifical approach to investing, there is no method, there are no rules really. Some micro oiler went up 200% in 2 days, some mining companies 100% in 2 days. If you don't have more than 5000 please, don't do value investing, you will loose money on the long run. Value investing is only useful if you have really high quantities of money above 100.000 I would say and you have an steady salary income. Young people wanting to enter into investing (maybe putting 500$ or something) should learn literally anything about one specific industry, learn every term, and understand everything and find huge percieved potential. I just understand about exploration mining companies and there "percieved high potential" is high chance of a great mineral deposit. So in this case i learned the geology, I made sure no institutional big players are either inside the capital or trading the stock, and of course only canadian and australian exchanges. Diversify if you see an equally better high percieved potential. And as for the price, I buy below the 2 years to date mean price (using techincal analysis might wotk too as well, because technical analysis WORKS in a general basis for spotting possible max and lows). Even Graham said in the intelligent investor that you can have a 10% of your money in those "crazy plays". Im sure Graham knew nothing about geology and mineral prospecting, so why not using 100% of your potential if you know more than the "masters".
The reason why you think value investing is also a fad from institution is because value is EXTREMELY HARD to determine
The argument about having large capital in order to value investing is a straw man argument, 20% gain is the same whether you have 1000 or 100000, the key is that, how consistent you are pulling that 20% gain.
You have prove it by yourself, you understand geology "enough" so you can understand the potential of of mineral deposit, isnt that "value investing"
Understand the value of the mine when current price doesnt reflect the true value? That profit generate from those mine > current price
I have read somewhere, Graham buy an undervalued mid stream oil company when valuing it asset, he stated that company pipeline have a strategic location, when the current price did not fully reflect the book value, he triple/double his money in just 2 years, dont remember the exact story. But the point here, he understand the value of those oil pipe as much as you understand your mineral mines
-> Sound familiar ?
The problem of value investing is that, you never understand why these securities are "valuable" to them, it is the understanding and research that count, and everyone have their own research and assessment, they never said why, just the methodology.
And people just magically give it a value and call it value investing, that why it is a fad among institution
Hard to imagine considering the title, but that was fun! Very nice explanation, very well simplified and described
sadly, you can't value invest without trading.
because the prices are speculative. so are share buybacks. companies are lead by CEOs that want their share price to go high to dump. which leads to fucked up things.
Hi. I just notice that the graph from 7:25 of discount rate suddenly change at 7:28. Now I am really confuse. It will really be helpful if you clarify this. Thanksss!
Use a minimum of 10% discount rate or the current 10 year treasury yield +5%, whichever is higher at the time. The idea is that by using a higher discount rate you end up with a higher margin of safety. In the last 5 years treasury yields have been unusually low, so using them as a discount rate would lead you to buy at very high prices and you will lose a lot of money in case they rise to say 5-6%. Prices differ a lot between using a discount rate of 1% and a discount rate of 5%.
but 1000 rupees are not even 10 dollars, like what?
If have 3 big collections buyt for 670 250 150 220 50 bezine euro stamps i have buyt for 1670 euro clocks, buyt for 25.000 coins. Everything is more worth today.
Buyt for 1600 bikes is worth like 3500 with added value. Everything i buy is broken
I don't think value investing really works without privilege information, if you're not an 'insider' you know what every one knows.
you're absolutely wrong.
Why do you say that?
Quick comment: Buying is not one half of the investment process, but one third: buying, holding, and selling. And Charlie Munger and a few others think that the holding process is the most important (as there, the tax-free compounding of money takes place).
Excellent point!
No indian will buy thoses notes..hahaha
Anyways jokes aside, nice video man..
dcf'S ARE STILL IMPORTANT
