Benjamin Graham referred to it as his “margin of safety.” Seth Klarman favors it over all other investment methods. Warren Buffett uses it to make millions for his investors.

It’s called value investing, and you can make it work wonders for your portfolio. All you need is money to invest, a little patience―and this book.

Strategic Value Investing reveals everything you need to know to build a world-class portfolio using value investing as your north star. Written by experts on valuation and financial analysis, this comprehensive guide breaks it all down into an easy-to-implement process.

The authors explain the ins and outs of determining when a stock is undervalued, then purchasing it and selling it for a profit when the rest of the world learns what you knew all along.

With Strategic Value Investing, you’ll learn how to:

• Distinguish between the various measures of value, including going concern, replacement value, fair market value, book value, and intrinsic value
• Identify undervalued companies before everyone else, and know what to look for, what to avoid, when to buy, and when to sell

The authors teach you how to establish a dispassionate value investing philosophy tailored to your needs.

Equally important, they provide the tools you need to adhere to this often contrarian approach regardless of your emotions or crowd sentiment. Get in before the crowd―and get out when the price is right with Strategic Value Investing.
