Investing Style

Finance allah shmoop what is a value investor Well of

value investors and investor who buy stocks that she believes

have quote hidden unquote value That little wall street just

isn't appreciating So uh aren't all investors value investors Well

kind of yes And really no value investor Generally speaking

in this context waits until a stock with good core

assets stumbles The company falls on short term hard times

and maybe quote should unquote traded twenty bucks a share

But wall street was angry and disappointed and hurt that

the company grew revenues only seven percent instead of the

expected fifteen percent for a quarter to and the streets

sold down the stock from eighteen to seven Well the

proverbial baby is thrown out with the bathwater And well

at this point the value investor steps in and buys

the stock big They hold the stock it's a tte

seven box The company slowly fixes itself in the stock

price gradually creeps upward back to that eighteen figure And

then the value investor likely sells the stock when it

goes from cheap to being fairly priced like you know

back in that eighteen twenty dollars target price kind of

thing Yeah that's where it was supposed to be earlier

all else being equal Well the normal cycle would then

have the value investors sell those shares to a growth

or mo mentum investor Who's credo is more like buy

high sell higher versus the you know value investor who's

all about by low then sell when fairly price that's

like benji graham Look him up it's not a sexy

but you can make big bank in value Land just
