Value Investing

Our purpose is to assess the value of the company to determine if the stocks are quoted at a fair price. We want to be able to investigate a company and discover for ourselves how they made money in the past and present. Our analysis follows an overall pass or fail grading system. We follow the principles borrowed from Graham and Dodd and Buffett. We further narrow our selection by choosing only to invest in ethical companies.
