Download or read book The Guide to Growth Investing written by Craig a Barnes and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-18 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growth Investing is the most profitable investing strategy with a long track record of incredible returns. The financial press all agree: - "Investors holding U.S. value stocks ... have produced an annualized compound return of 12.9 percent (since 2010). That compares with a 16.3 percent annualized return for growth stocks." Institutional Investor (October 2019) - "Since May 1995 value stocks have returned 624%, while growth has gained 1,072%" Money.com (July 2020) -"Growth stocks have handily outperformed value stocks since December 2006." (USA Today, May 2020) - "Over the past decade, as a whole, value stocks have not performed as well as growth stocks" (MorningStar 2019). - "Growth stocks are the financial market's land of opportunity -- stocks that show the potential for abundant share price growth over the long haul but sell for relatively cheap right now (TheStreet, 2020). However, Growth Investing is also the hardest investing strategy for the average investor to understand and gather information. Many investing sources only advice growth investors to use 1) a growth mutual fund or 2) a stock screener to find companies with historical growth in earnings per share (EPS) and sales. However, a growth mutual fund includes fees that investors will want to avoid. And screening for a company's historical growth is not the best the selection tool for future growth. What these investing sources are not saying that the pros know is the essential step on which fund managers spend millions of dollars, hire a large staff of analysts, and devote hours interviewing CEOs to scrutinize - which new industries will have the highest growth in the next few years and what are the major players in those industries. Industry analyst research companies, like Barnes Reports, are where the leading investment banks and mutual funds purchase their industry analysis reports on the rapidly expanding industries. Now the individual investor has access to the same growth statistics on the most advanced technology industries on which the pros spend millions with "The Guide to Growth Investing." Some of the 100 niche industries featured in the 2020 edition include: - Drone Analytics Market - Automated 3D Printing Market - Medical Exoskeleton Market - Botnet Detection Market Featuring over 300 companies in the fastest-growing technology industries, the Guide is the one-stop resource for the essential data to invest in the companies of tomorrow. The Guide is useful for investors no matter the level of expertise - from beginner to expert. The Guide also explains 1) the advantages of Growth Investing over other strategies, 2) how you can beat Growth ETFs and mutual funds returns, and 3) the steps to build a protected retirement plan with Growth Investing.The Guide to Growth Investing shows you how to make Growth Investing work for you and help you achieve your financial goals.

This fascinating book explores: value investing versus speculation the difference between price and value variable values of a dollar of earnings accounting misrepresentation the characteristics of a wonderful business the StockVal® valuation formula. Two of the world's most successful investors, Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger, are self-confessed value investors. McNiven often draws on their wisdom to support his approach to value investing,which he defines as buying a share at a price lower than its calculated value. Only investors who have the ability to calculate value can call themselves 'value investors'.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As you have probably noticed, there are quite a few investing books out there. Many of them were written by some of the world's greatest investors. So, why should you read our book? Stock investing is more prevalent than ever, whether directly or indirectly through brokerage accounts, exchange-traded funds, mutual funds, or retirement plans. Despite this, the vast majority of individual investors have no training on how to pick stocks. And, until now, there hasn't been a truly accessible, easy-to-understand resource available to help them. The Little Book of Investing Like the Pros was written to fill this void. We believe the simplicity and accessibility of our stock picking framework is truly unique. Using real-world examples and actual Wall Street models used by the pros, we teach you how to pick stocks in a highly accessible, step-by-step manner. Our goal is straightforward—to impart the skills necessary for finding high-quality stocks while protecting your portfolio with risk management best practices. Our practical approach is designed to help demystify the investing process, which can be intimidating. This training will help set you apart from others who are largely flying blind. Pilots require extensive training before receiving a license. Doctors must graduate medical school, followed by a multi-year residency. Even those providing professional investment advice require certification. But, anyone can buy a stock without any training whatsoever. While buying stocks on a hunch and a prayer may not endanger your life, it can certainly put your finances at risk.

This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a value investor, you want to buy stock in great companies for great prices. This means comparing what a stock is really worth to its current price, so you know if it is cheap, expensive, or fairly priced. But how do you know what a stock is really worth?

When a business is losing money or closing its doors, a liquidation value might be the most appropriate. When a company's cash flow is predictable, the discounted cash flow analysis method may be best. Concepts covered in this book include: - earnings multiples- P/E ratios- EBITDA multiples- enterprise value- free cash flow - owner's earnings (Warren Buffett's invention)- discounted cash flow analysis, and- dividend discount modelWith these methods, you will be able to value many different kinds of companies so you can decide whether a particular stock is a good buy. You will also better understand the reasoning behind an analyst's opinion of value when reading investment reports. Knowing how to accurately value a stock will help you make better investment decisions and take advantage of opportunities in the stock market.
