What is a Value Stock?
Value stocks are generally defined as stocks of companies with strong fundamental statistics that, often due to factors external to the business, have low share valuation. There is a great multitude of factors that might effect a stock’s price, but if a company has a truly strong balance sheet and is well run by its management, its share price should eventually increase in value as external factors oscillate back in favor of the company. Most value stock companies are also companies that have been known to pay great yielding dividends. The term dividend companies is almost synonymous with value stock companies.
Why should I learn to invest in value stocks?
Value stock investing (as well as dividend companies and REIT investing) has proven over time to be the leading investment technique to beat the market over a very long time frame. In other words, growth stock, program, pattern traders, etc. have not, with a few exceptions, been able to beat the value gurus in the very long term, especially when you include the dividend pay-outs in the total return.
Warren Buffet was taught by economic scholar Benjamin Graham and is the most famous value stock investor of all time. He has proven decade after decade that his feel for good value in a stock along with old fashioned patience and the power of accumulating dividends can beat the market indexes in long term investment returns. Very few investors and traders have been able to do this and certainly no one has done this for as long as Buffet has.
Are Value stocks, dividend companies, and REIT investments risky?
Yes they certainly can be. Go to the SEC.GOV website to learn more about the risks of REIT and stock investing.

Dividend Companies
Investors that are in it for the long haul have enjoyed superior long term returns by holding value stocks that pay dividends. Dividend companies like Exxon Mobile, Proctor and Gamble, and Walmart are known for paying out a good portion of their profits to their shareholders in the form of dividends. When looking at total investment returns, investing in dividend companies along with the power of compounding have turned out to be the world’s best long-term conservative investments.
