Welcome to the stock markets.
Clicked on your link and here's what the Wikipedia has to say about "Value Investing":
"Although value investing has taken many forms since its inception"
"generally involves buying securities whose shares appear underpriced"
"As examples, such securities may be stock in public companies that trade at discounts to book value or tangible book value, have high dividend yields, have low price-to-earning multiples or have low price-to-book ratios."
When he said buying the stock can be considered "value buying", what form of value buying is he referring to?
By looking at the numbers, SIGM may appear to be underpriced (according to people in the thread), but appearances don't always match expectations. The magician appeared to make the bird disappear.
And which ratio should I use to determine whether a stock is undervalued?
ok so i'm out of the trade at work. the stock i was talking about is VR. it would be more of a true value investing play. pretty boring stock that is trading below book value. they are making money and growing earnings and book value (up 20% last year). they also pay a solid 3.5% div. they had almost no subprime exposure (only $22 mil) and they have been using mark to market accounting since early last year. have to wait til this quarter's earnings report to see if the market is wrong or if i am wrong.
This was a great call, period.
I'm reluctant to pull the trigger on this now, though. It's moved 25% up in two weeks, and 13% of that is today alone on an upgrade note.
