Value Investors Club
Valuehuntr one of the blogs that we follow has been accepted in to the Value Investors club. That is pretty cool. The value Investor’s club was started by the genius investor and writer Joel Greenblatt.
Investing Conference for Beginning Investors – AAII
Part of this blog’s mission is to help beginning investors gather the essential information so that you can make informed investment decisions on your own.
Greenbackd – Interview- Deep Value Investing
Simoleon Sense has an insightful interview today with the author of the great deep value blog Greenbackd. You can get to the interview here. Both blogs are terrific for incredibly different reasons and I have mentioned both in previous blogs, but it bears repeating.
How to Use online Forums for Beginning Investors
There are numerous online forums that you can join or skulk through to get a feel for a company before you invest in it. They can be very valuable and very dangerous. My standard disclaimer applies. Just because it is written down doesn’t make it true. That goes double for anything on the internet. I have spoken briefly about some online forums and I will discuss a couple more.
Sunday Beginning Investor Links
These are basic investing links, but extremely useful.
Investopedia – Investopedia is a site from Forbes that has newsletters, and lots of articles. But for the beginning Investor the best place to start is their Investing Dictionary, which is where I have linked. It is a good place to begin if you read a concept on this site or (in one of the many financial books you are reading) that you do not understand. It is a good beginning place. Sometimes the definitions do not have enough depth and require further investigation for a good understanding of a concept. And like everything else on the internet, sometimes their definitions are, how do I say this kindly, a bit off. All in all it is still worth looking at to get a grasp of terms that have thus far elluded you.
Yahoo Finance – Yahoo Finance while sporting an old school, visual overload style, it is more useful than Google Finance for one simple reason their online forums for individual stock are much better. I have linked to VaxGen (VXGN) message board, mostly because we have discussed it previously and it is still in the Chroma Investing portfolio.
Sunday Beginning Investor Links
I am a little behind on my posts. We are moving and between my paying job and the move, I haven’t been able to post as much as usual. These are general investing sites and not specifically value blogs. But definitely all beginning investors should check them out at least once. Motley Fool- Tom and David Gardner used to have a radio show on national public radio that I listened to before I was investing. Mostly they sell investment newsletters. Google Finance – It is a good place to put stocks into a watch list or portfolio list to easily track all in one place.
Beginning Investor Links
If you are just starting your investing these are good websites to check out for different reasons. They are also good for a small time investor.
American Association of Individual Investors – This is the website of the organization that is devoted to helping individual investors like you and I become better informed, and to make better investment decisions.For a small fee ($29) you can join. They have some interesting screeners that they have set up based on different investment strategies. Probably worth it just for that one feature. They also have lots of seminars and speakers if you become a member.
F Wall Street – I have commented on Joe Ponzio’s website before. He has an easy to navigate and elegant site that is full of information on valuations from a mostly Warren Buffett style investing approach.
When the Pros screw up Students Suffer
There is an interesting article in Valuehuntr today. It talks about how Harvard and Yale, traditional rivals in the sports arena, have become rivals of a dubious sort: whose investment portfolio is suffering more. I am not sure that this was the intention of the original article, but what I took away from this was the following. The professional money managers or the Yale and Harvard endowments failed at their jobs of preserving capital.
Chroma Investing Sunday Investment Links #4
This is the fourth Sunday Investment Links installment. Like the majority of my posts this is geared toward beginning investors, or investors with limited capital.
My value Idea – is a classic value investing blog. They are trying to sort through some ideas that may not fit into traditional value investing such as investing in commodities related stocks, like natural gas. Recently it has also discussed some spin off ideas.
ShadowStock: Deep Value Micro Cap Stocks – This blog used to be one of my stand by daily checks. But lately the posts have been inconsistent, not publishing more than posting. But if subscribe pay attention to the post when they come up. Interesting because he concentrates on Micro Caps, an interesting place for small time investors.
Chroma Investing Sunday Links #3
This is the third installment of the Chroma Investing Sunday links. These are places with good, if not actionable ideas. These are not comedic, but very serious, and thought provoking sites.
Simoleon Sense- this website has almost no practical advice. In that sense it is almost opposite of Greenbackd. Barel Karsan- is another general information website. It is not as abstract as Simoleon Sense and focused more on value intesting.
