What Is Value Investing?
Definition and plain-English explanation of "Value Investing"
Value investing involves buying stocks that appear to be trading below their intrinsic (true) value. Value investors look for undervalued companies with strong fundamentals — low P/E ratios, high dividend yields, and solid balance sheets — that the market has overlooked or temporarily beaten down. Warren Buffett is the most famous value investor.
