Value investing is the stock selection strategy famously used by business magnate and third wealthiest person in the world, Warren Buffett, whose total net worth<\/a> exceeds $91.5 billion.<\/p>\n

Developed in the 1930s by Columbia University professor and economist, Ben Graham, value investing involves screening securities to find stocks undervalued relative to peers and the market. Stocks are then assessed for their intrinsic value, determined by a fundamental metric\u2014such as the price-earnings ratio\u2014and purchased only if the stock price is less than its intrinsic value.<\/p>\n

With value investing, dividends, cash flow, and earnings growth matter more than market factors on the stock\u2019s price. The idea is that the market will eventually correct\u2014and when that happens, the undervalued stock will rise in price and the investor will make money.<\/p>\n

Buffett\u2019s investments have consistently outperformed the market, decade after decade, which is why he\u2019s become known as the \u201cgodfather\u201d of value investing.<\/p>\n

Warren Buffett\u2019s story<\/h2>\n

In the early 1950s, Buffett enjoyed success following Ben Graham\u2019s investing guidelines but began to assess potential stocks differently than his mentor. While Graham kept his focus on the bottom line numbers\u2014the balance sheet and income statement\u2014Buffett looked at a company\u2019s corporate leadership and overall potential to generate earnings long term.<\/p>\n

In 1962 Buffett bought Berkshire Hathaway, a failing textile company whose shares were valued at $7.50 each. He phased out its textile manufacturing division and transformed the business into a holding company for investments. By choosing to invest in a number of assets that proved lucrative in insurance, oil, and the media, Buffett was able to build Berkshire Hathaway into the incredibly profitable company it is today.<\/p>\n

Value investing tips<\/h2>\n

These tips from a Business Insiders article<\/a> on Warren Buffett\u2019s winning investment strategies can help you become a more successful investor.<\/p>\n

Re-think your diversification strategy<\/h3>\n

Buffett recommends selecting stocks carefully, with an eye on the long-term future, maintaining focus on individual investments rather than hedging bets with a varied portfolio designed to minimize volatility.<\/p>\n

Follow the 99-1 rule<\/h3>\n

<\/u>Buffett warns investors not to sell as soon as it appears that a stocks\u2019 value is declining\u2014like the 99% do, overreacting as they take in just 1% of the daily financial news.<\/p>\n

Play the long game<\/h3>\n

Buffett\u2019s approach to investing requires patience and commitment. He advises investors to select stocks with potential and hang onto them for decades. Investors who constantly buy and sell may lose out on higher returns\u2014and end up paying more trading commissions and taxes.<\/p>\n
