BetterValueInvest exists due to a need to express and mirror my thoughts on investing, with a specific goal of continuous improvement as an investor.
What will one find from the Better Value Invest -site:
- Posts on current company analysis
- Reflection of my ideas and thoughts on investing, stock selection and portfolio construction
- Comments on financially related topics
Who is behind the posts and Better Value Invest:
-
- An entrepreneurially driven investor
- Active mostly among listed companies
- Spending the most of time finding investment opportunities around developed European stock markets
- Also some time spent among other developed markets, but less among less developed financial markets
- Looking for companies trading dramatically below their perceived intrinsic value
- Preferring a good company over a turnaround or a “cigar butt”, as in good companies more often increase in value over time, thus making value correction less of a relevant factor in return formation
- Not willing to pay for growth, however, placing value for sustainable long term growth in valuation when the growth is perceived as value adding
- Higher uncertainty in measuring intrinsic value or potential outcomes require higher discounts to perceived intrinsic value
- Conducting bottom up security analysis
- Do not believe to have an edge in macro forecasting
- Like to select the “playing field” to such that can honestly believe to have an edge
- Small companies with little investor interest/coverage
- Companies trading in “wrong” exchanges
- Companies with complex business models or significant changes in business
- Companies in odd business where mainstream investor lacks understanding (i.e. affiliate marketing in online gambling)
- Companies in weak/contracting industries but with strong value addition driven business understanding (i.e. great management)
- Clear supply demand imbalances of a company’s stock (i.e. spinoffs, dividend outs etc.)
