Unreferenced date December 2009 Orphan date November 2006 Valueinvesting and Growth Investing are often presented as two competing styles of investing. Indeed there are now many Exchange traded fund s available which claim to offer one of the two styles. border 0 ValueInvesting Growth Investing Emphasis on buying shares below their intrinsic value Emphasis on buying shares in companies with high growth rates Typical Characteristics Low P E ratio High earnings growth rate Low Price sales ratio High sales growth rate Low Price Cashflow High return on equity Low Price book ratio High profit margin High Dividend yield No or low Dividend yield Performance of Value and Growth styles For several years at a time, quite often one of the styles of investing will perform better than the other. In the late 1990s growth style stocks significantly outperformed value style stocks. However, since 2000 value stocks have outperformed growth. Some people believe the performance of the two styles goes in a cycle, even viewing them as distinct asset classes, with a view to make strategic switches. Warren Buffett on Value vs. Growth Billionaire investor Warren Buffett has been highly critical of these styles. He has commented that investment ratios such as P E ratio are no guide to value. In an excerpt from his 2000 letter to shareholders he wrote the following Market commentators and investment managers who glibly refer to growth and value styles as contrasting approaches to investment are displaying their ignorance, not their sophistication. This is because Buffett believes the most important ratio is price Intrinsic value finance intrinsic value , and intrinsic value incorporates the growth rate of the business. However, this is a less practical measure than price earnings since intrinsic value depends on the estimate of future cash flows, and can therefore be highly subjective.

In the first part of the book Katsenelson makes an argument that for next dozen years or so the US market will be range bound. In the second part he provides a strategy for this market. Investors look at stock market as a 11 a year compounding machine, and though this is true for the long run a full market cycle, 30 years or longer , in the short run stock market returns are often far above or far below the average.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Over investing in finance , particularly personal finance , refers to the practice of Investment investing more into an asset than what that asset is worth on the open market. It is cited most frequently in reference to expensive personal consumable investments such as houses, automobiles, and trailers. Example If a homeowner makes additions or improvements to her house to the point that the owner has invested considerably more than the market value of other houses in that area, then she has likely over invested in that house. The neighbourhood effect will serve to devalue the house so that it is worth less than what has been invested in it.

The confusion between the consumption value and the investment value can cause people to under invest or over invest in the asset. The investment value comes from the floating price of similar assets on the open market. Consumable values are things such as rental value, pride of ownership, and personal affect. One method that can be used to avoid over investment is to calculate the consumable value separately from the investment value.

Momentum investing , is a system of buying stock s or other security finance securities that have had high returns over the past three to twelve months, and selling those that have had poor returns over the same period. It has been reported that this strategy Yield finance yields average returns of 1 per month for the following 3 12 months as shown by Narasimhan Jegadeesh and Sheridan Titman . While no consensus exists about the validity of this claim, economists have trouble reconciling this phenomenon, using the efficient market hypothesis . Two main hypotheses have been submitted to explain the effect in terms of an efficient market. In the first, it is assumed that momentum investors bear significant Financial risk risk for assuming this strategy, and, therefore, the high returns are a compensation for the risk. The second theory assumes that momentum investors are exploiting behavioral shortcomings in other investors, such as investor herding , investor over and underreaction , and confirmation bias . Seasonal effects may help to explain some of the reason for success in the momentum investing strategy. If a stock has performed poorly for months leading up to the end of the year, investors may decide to sell their holdings for tax purposes. Increased supply of shares in the market drive its price down, causing others to sell. Once the reason for tax selling is eliminated, the stock s price tends to recover. Some investors may react to the inefficient pricing of a stock caused by momentum investing by using the tool of arbitrage . It is believed that George Soros used a variation of momentum investing by up bidding the price of already overvalued equities in the market for Conglomerate company conglomerates in the 1960s and for real estate investment trust s in the 1970s.
