Welcome to the home of value based investing, the place for finding investment opportunities that offer relatively low risk via a high margin of safety, while offering lucrative growth potential through high return on equity. With the impeding shortfall of social security funds and bankruptcy of companies’ pension funds, managing your own investments is increasingly important as the only guaranteed route to retirement. This site is updated monthly to provide a number of high quality stocks that I invest in myself, and what’s even more important, I provide the price that I will likely re-evaluate holding the stock as a result of the margin of safety being eroded. In fact, I keep track of my performance over time.

Each stock recommendation is based on a number of solid investing principals. Each month will include a new investing principal that I use in the selection of companies to invest in, so the first year will include my top priorities.

If you are new to investing, I highly recommend reviewing my reading list as an excellent introduction to value investing.

If you are skeptical that value investing can work, consider Warren Buffett, the richest person in the world, and one of the biggest proponents of value investing.

Please note that caution and prudence should be exercised with any investing activity and use of margin or credit to fund investing activities is flat out dangerous. Read my story for an example of how margin can flatten you in a matter of days. Ensure proper diversification in your portfolio before considering adding any of these to it.
