Throughout How To Value Invest I will show and give you access to all the best information I have learned from over the nearly five years and thousands of hours that it took me to put together. I will show you how to do various valuation techniques yourself, talk about my investment thought processes and why I did what I did, and how to put all of this information together into an excellent value investment thesis with your own personal criteria. If you study and implement the techniques and thought processes that I talk about in this book, and have or develop the proper mind-set, than you will not only be saving potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars on tuition costs, but I will also help you save thousands of hours of time of having to search the infinite internet site by site like I had to. If you continue to work hard, implement, and learn what is in the book than you too have the potential to become an excellent value investor too; one that is better than most MBA's and professional level investors at evaluating companies for potential investment. The premise of this book is very simple: You no longer need to go to an expensive Ivy League level school to learn how to become an excellent value investor, and I am going to show you the steps I took to teach myself about investing and how you too can become an excellent value investor. Almost 100% of the information I learned from was found free online but I did supplement with books which is where the minimal costs came from. If you want to become an excellent value investor faster, while also saving yourself a lot of money in the process, then continue on and learn from my value investing journey.
