Value Investing: Buy Cheap, Obscure and Out of Fashion
by admin / December 26th, 2009
Professor Bruce C. Greenwald discusses his executive education course in value investing and what differentiates the practice from other investment strategies. “Most investors are constitutionally oriented to buying lottery tickets,” he says. “And that’s what creates the value opportunities for the plodding, careful investors.” For more programs from the Columbia Business School: fora.tv —– Professor Bruce C.

For those of you saying there’s no evidence value investing works, you should do some research. It’s been back tested and proven. It’s also the most consistently performing theory amongst top investors around the world. Just look at Warren Buffet’s success.
As for the idea that this guy should be rich just because he is teaching investment strategies. Just because you know how to invest doesn’t mean you have the money to invest. You won’t retire early investing $20k let alone $5k without luck.

I did it and it works. Bought bank and real estate stocks with strong balance sheet and business model while the market was crashing. Doubled my net worth doing it and recovered all the previous losses and more. Seriously, patience and conviction are needed, but the thing pays off well.

I don’t see that much or if any “legitimate evidence” for this guy’s claim…

I was defending the educator.

First, how do you know he is not rich (he is advising many funds, like berkshire hathway. Second, he was ill of his tyroids that is why he is fat.
Be more respectful!

Not that you sound terribly intelligent or unintelligent.

It wouldn’t surprise me if you were. I’m well off myself, and it never ceases to amaze me how blinded my peers can become. Luck is the determinative factor that separates poor but hard working men from rich ones.
Intellect comes in dead last.

You were insulting his explanations and thus refutting it by thus saying “He’s in school teaching college classes and he is fat, not in a mansion so he is not that smart.”
His entire lecture had to do with the mathematics involved in investments. Your argument is a logical fallacy.

I think it was YOU that said
“If you knew anything about investments you would not make such a reduclous claim”.
I don’t recall anything about mathematics.
who the twit now? huh?

I am not defending the monetary based system you twist. I am merely defending the mathematics which constitute as investments in the general of investments. Investment’s if I remember correctly were commonly referred before the stock market concept was created; to the investment of time, labor, and energy into developing ideas, technology, science, and theories. The mathematics involved in investment go back to 256BC, not 20 years ago.

you know it’s an illusion, yet you still defend an institution and its made up mathematics created 20 years ago that is clearly caused the global meltdown and is going to be in a Bear Market for god knows how long.

LMFAO! Let me guess, money is fake and the monetary system is an illusion? Well I know that already. But first this is simply the mathematics involved in investments. Also investments do not just coorelate to money; it also involves investing time and resources as well.

how about America’s entire financial system is a fraud.
December 27th, 2009 at 7:05 am
If you knew anything about investments you would not make such a reduclous claim
December 27th, 2009 at 7:51 am
Heh, that’s something I’ve always wondered. Like on all those infomercials, if you’re such a financial genius, why do you have to sell people those tapes?

if this guy is so smart, how come he’s still teaching and overweight?
