I was an analyst at a "value" oriented investment firm back in 1971. The company (in Australia) did very well, but today I can't see much opportunity - companies today do not have undervalues physical assets any more,

[@CircuitBreakGames]

1. Be a generalist when choosing assets, & be a specialist when investing in a specific asset. 2. Intrinsic value depend on the competitiveness of the company, its management, and business activities. 3. Risk does not arise from stock price volatility, but whether your capital is safe. (relates to 2nd point about picking the right business)

I think that value investing has pretty much been dead since COVID. I would argue that now is the time to invest in value plays since the market rally is spreading to names beyond the magnificent 7.

[@darksunrise37]

Value investing is hard nowadays. Even good values don’t move like they should even over long term. The flow of capital is into sp 500 for the most part.

[@sagarsaxena6318]

@@TTandDGaming Value investing with disregard for earnings growth and thus fwd multiples is quiet inane imo. You can't just buy a stock at single digit p/e or low price to book or a stock at a dividend yield & expect to make money just running such screeners. There has to be some trigger to create wealth.

What are the chances that a boy who grew up during a famine just happened to be a genius, escaped communist prosecution to France and then to USA, then got admitted to one of the Ivy League universities, got a million worth of student loans, and graduated with 3 degrees in economics, law, and MBA while performing rigorous research into companies that he wanted to invest his million dollars in? At this rate, he probably ate, slept, and shit at the same time. On a more serious note, he may be a genius but bet that he were helped by wealthy men numerous times along the way

[@alexandre588]

This is all true and good when one is managing large sums of money, and even with compound interest, it makes a huge difference if your starting capital is 10k, 100k, or 1 million dollars. To anyone willing to make it, the first thing is to bring up your savings rate as high as possible. This means cutting on expenses, and increasing income thru your day job. Next, is the part where everyone will tell you to invest in some broad market index fund and forget about it. I recommend against it, especially if you are young and have time on your hands. Diversification is a wealth protecting measure against the risks of being over exposed to a single market segment. But if you have little to no wealth accumulated, you do not want diversification, but concentration. Not only that, but with a healthy level of margin as well. Only by taking on more risk can one get oversized returns. What to invest on? Do your own research, but generally buy low sell high, buy with the trend, and most importantly; sell too early, as opposed to never selling at all and losing all the returns (AKA, take profits)

Wait a minute…. 7:20 He leveraged his student loans??? That, ladies and gentlemen, is called gambling. I’m excited to hear this man became a great success AND is despised by the Chinese government, but we shouldn’t ignore the fact that leveraging your student loan money is BEYOND risky!

Inflation is gradually going to become part of us and due to that fact any money you keep in cash or in a low-interest account declines in value each year. Investing is the only way to make your money grow and unless you have an exceptionally high income, investing is the only way most people will ever have enough money to retire.
