Finding under valued equities

mutley74

be prepared to lose anything you invest in, stocks go down as well as up. Why not read up on some share tip advice given by various broker websites, read the papers online (business news), read a book on investing.

Lots of investors have different strategies - some for high risk punts some for steady income and growth, some for growth etc.
Worth looking at Investors Chronicle (although tips are dubious imho), Money Week etc.

Instead of looking for "undervalued" stocks and having an over-riding need to "beat the market", what is wrong with simply looking for investments that have a fair value and that will meet your financial goals?

people who look for undervalued stocks are looking to earn more. they are willing to take more risks too in order to get to their goals.

each to their own. so many strategies in investments.

Value is a highly subjective concept. Sometimes you may think you are getting value when in reality you may find it sooner or later it wasn't value at all!

There are certain sectors like retail, supermarkets and home builders I do not like.

This statement is telling.

the way to find value, is to buy shares that others are currently shunning like you shun the above.

That means prices are low. They key is finding companies that show a strong balance sheet and whose business model will work long term.

The contrarian fund mangers use this method.

So you can get contrarian/value investing thru a fund.

I had 10000 shares
And when shares are up they are up
And when they are down they are down
And when they are only half way up they are neither up nor down

There is an AIM stock, AXM.

The price is 0.14p, so you can buy 100,000 shares for £140.

It's not so much undervalued, as any lower it would be zero. .

The only way is up. :rotfl:

I vaguely remember around 18 years ago loads of people in my work were buying shares because they were 1p and were told the only way was up! Not long later they dropped to 1/2p then 1/4p.
