I think you're confusing value investing with looking at a simple Price/Book ratio. Value investing is much more than that. One method of fundamental analysis involves making a prediction about ~10 years earnings/cash flows a

The stock market is not zero sum. The people taking the other side of well managed hedge funds are usually poorly managed pension funds/hedge funds, index fund ETFs that blindly buy a bunch of stocks without looking over their financia

Regarding the FDA I don't think the government should be telling me what drugs I can and can't take. Plenty of people are denied from taking early stage drugs because they are not FDA approved and dangerous, but if people are awar

"Investor accreditation makes sense (for now.)" No it doesn't. It's pure nanny statism. The government has no business telling people what they can and can't invest in or spend their money on. Yes startups are risky

What the authors are doing is “chasing steam” and most books will ban or limit you if you try this. This should come as no surprise to people with experience in the industry. The books aren’t limiting/banning them for winning - it’s th
