After serving 6 years in the US Navy, I completed 7 years of education in accounting and earned a Masters of Science in Accounting. I practiced as a Certified Public Accountant for over 12 years and have provided bookkeeping, accounting, and tax services for over 30 years. During that time I personally feel that my clients taught me more than I taught them.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n I have written over 200 articles about value investing that are posted to this site. It all started with an economic theory called ‘marginal value’; i.e., those companies that are marginally better than other similar operations outperform their competition dramatically in the stock market. In turn, this marginal value prevents deep losses, provides faster recoveries and higher than normal post recovery highs with their stock price. When an investor pays attention to this, a lot of value can be acquired.<\/span><\/p>\n After eight years of preparing the foundation of resources, I tested value investing principles by creating an investment fund that adhered to the core tenet and principles of value investing. Over the last five years, this Fund has outperformed the best major index by 8 percent!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Look at the results lifetime to date through September 30, 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n No other website documents and puts forth the results of their investments and updates readers monthly with the respective activities and performance. They will not do this because at some point their system fails or the risk dramatically increases undermining their position and statements put forth. I have no problem identifying an error to the membership. Actually, it will happen at some point; I look at it as an opportunity to learn or discover a flaw with the formulas used. Thus far, every trade has been beneficial to the Investment Fund. Only one trade to date under performed the expected outcome. It simply took longer to recover to the sales price desired. Thus, instead of a minimum 20% return on the investment, it was just slightly more than 14%. It is going to happen every now and then. Overall, the entire Fund simply outperforms all other major indices during the same time period.<\/span><\/p>\n Given the exceptional results, I’ve turned this site into a value investing membership site including an education channel whereby any visitor may read about the three phases of learning how to value invest. The last phase allows them to share their knowledge with other members of the club. Click on the Investment Club <\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span>button above in the main menu bar and click on the member program<\/span><\/strong><\/a> to join.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n If you need to<\/span> contact me via e-mail, send to dave@c<\/a>omcast.net<\/span><\/strong>. I generally respond within 24 hours. YES, I actually do respond. I’m an educator, I love a good thought-provoking question and want to hear others’ insight to problem resolution or their unique business thinking.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n I consider myself well read and an educator. I have the necessary formal education, job history, input from mentors and lifetime experiences to prepare me to write and document the primary tenet of business and correlating four principles of value investing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Credentials:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n I’m actively involved in the community and actually enjoy getting out there and helping others. It is how I meet new friends and hear wonderful stories about business and life.<\/span><\/p>\n Community Service:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Two clients in particular were astute business persons. One was an engineer the other an RV dealer. Thank you Bob V. and Crosby Forrest for what you taught me about business and life. Along the way, I have performed services for many different industries and learned that each industry has their own set of principles and standards to earn a net profit. The lessons learned are what I write about on this site.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"Value](\"https:\/\/valueinvestingnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Value-Investing-5-Year-Annualized-Growth-Rate-1024x451.png\" "\\"Value")
