Their success as value investors is not in doubt. But how did they achieve it? I recently read several related books: &#8220;Bounce&#8221; by Matthew Syed, Malcolm Gladwell&#8217;s &#8220;Outliers&#8221; and Levitt &#038; Dubner&#8217;s excellent sequel to &#8220;Freakonomics&#8221; &#8211; &#8220;SuperFreakonomics&#8221;. A common theme in all [...]]]></description><link>http://www.grahaminvestor.com/2010/06/26/how-to-become-a-great-investor/</link> </item> <item><title>On Selling &#8211; Some Thoughts on When to Fold &#8216;Em</title> <description><![CDATA[Much is made of stock buying strategies, but the truth is nobody makes a dime from their investments until they sell. Selling stock is easy &#8211; knowing when to sell maybe not so much. Or is it? It certainly should be. Ben Graham variously suggests keeping stocks for 2 years, and/or selling 50% of a [...]]]></description><link>http://www.grahaminvestor.com/2010/03/05/on-selling-some-thoughts-on-when-to-fold-em/</link> </item> <item><title>Sanofi-Aventis &#8211; Longer Term Recovery?</title> <description><![CDATA[Come Wednesday, February 10, French drugmaker Sanofi-Aventis (ADR: SNY), maker of blockbuster bloodthinner Plavix will announce Fourth Quarter results for 2009. We came across SNY in a &#8220;January Effect&#8221; review of sectors. In short, the &#8220;January Effect&#8221; &#8211; more than adequately referenced elsewhere on the web &#8211; basically states that how stocks do in January [...]]]></description><link>http://www.grahaminvestor.com/2010/02/07/sanofi-aventis-longer-term-recovery/</link> </item> <item><title>Slight Changes to NCAV Screens</title> <description><![CDATA[Since quite a few people requested it, and there were many questions such as &#8220;Why isn&#8217;t XXX showing up on the NCAV screen?&#8221; I have decided to remove the criterion of positive Operating Cash Flow. This will probably lead to more stocks showing up on the screen. OCF will still be displayed and you can [...]]]></description><link>http://www.grahaminvestor.com/2010/02/06/slight-changes-to-ncav-screens/</link> </item> <item><title>Graham&#8217;s 50 Year Study &#8211; Foolproof?</title> <description><![CDATA[In 1976, Hartman L. Butler spent an hour with Benjamin Graham and the interview is recorded within a fine study of Graham&#8217;s life published by The Financial Analysts Research Foundation. During the interview, Graham describes buying groups of stocks that meet some simple criterion for being undervalued, regardless of the industry and without detailed investigation [...]]]></description><link>http://www.grahaminvestor.com/2010/01/03/grahams-50-year-study-foolproof/</link> </item> <item><title>Just How Important Is Brand Equity?</title> <description><![CDATA[Brand Equity is an intangible asset, but possibly one of the most important ones in value investing. Companies with strong brand equity, usually those that have been building brand equity for years via clever or persistent marketing such as Coca Cola, Nike, etc., often prove to be better investments even when their price drops, because [...]]]></description><link>http://www.grahaminvestor.com/2009/12/13/just-how-important-is-brand-equity/</link> </item> <item><title>For Sale: Stunning Colorado Custom-Built Mountain Log Home</title> <description><![CDATA[I&#8216;m posting this on behalf of some friends who sold their business in order to realize a dream and build this amazing home.

For some time we&#8217;ve been trying to get away from the Plone Content Management System, as the migration path was seriously broken, and the plugins were dead in the water or few and far between. It was becoming next to impossible to add any content.

The stock is just under $3, having fallen from a high of just over $10 in 2008.

In modern parlance, intrinsic means &#8220;belonging to a thing by its very nature&#8221;. The intrinsic value of a stock will thus be very personal to that stock, unique even, and will be totally unrelated to the intrinsic value of another stock. In a sense, intrinsic [...]]]></description><link>http://www.grahaminvestor.com/2009/06/10/stock-tools-intrinsic-value/</link> </item> </channel> </rss>
