11. I hope you're also telling your students that small caps tend to be risky. You should tell your students to focus on boring, out of favor, and undervalued mid and large cap stocks. Small cap companies can be beaten down for a many reasons, like they're too under capitalized to do what they want to do.
12. @anka893 People go into debt to get an MBA so that they can get an interview with the top investment banks and private equity firms. He is just a bump along the road :-)
13. Is he...is he Peter from Family Guy?
14. @gooberdude I was referring to individual investors. Passive investors should stay away from the markets, they have no business, no knowledge, and especially no time to find and to properly value a stock. Value investing, or simply it should just be called investing because everything else is speculation should and must only be reserved to institutional investors who do this for a living. I know very well that DJIA went from 66 in 1921 to 12,600 today, but how many lost money during this period?
15. Value investing is the best way to approach stock analysis but not necessarily Investing itself. There are a lot of issues that should be taken into consideration before engaging in buying stocks. Personally, I do not like stocks at all. To me, they are a way to enrich the insiders of a company and the investment bankers who price those stocks on the market. The retail investor is usually the last one on the line!
16. the question is how much is he worth?....
17. Biggest value investing advice you will ever get "Stay away from the markets, stay away from stocks."
