How to make money value investing
The first segment of our show is a question and answer with Nick Waschezyn asking Jason about saving for higher education. Among the topics discussed are:
- How much should we save?
- What about financial aid?
- What are our savings options?
- How do I pick a plan?
- How do I stay on top of my plan(s)?
In the next segment, Peter interviews Russ Towne, of Towne Investments, on stock selection and investing. Following in the footsteps of the masters, including Warren Buffet and Benjamin Graham, Russ shares how he identifies great companies, determines their real value and buys at discount prices, patiently building portfolios for a lifetime. We address such questions as:
- What is a good price to pay for a company?
- Is it possible to beat the market and reduce risk at the same time?
- Why great investors don’t necessarily worry when stock prices decline.
- Why the efficient market theory doesn’t always apply to stock prices, and how investors can make money using that fact to their advantage.
If you’ve ever considered investing in stocks, if you’re looking for a sound framework upon which to base decisions, or if you’re just curious about stock investing, this segment is for you. Russ is Managing Member of Towne Investments, LLC, a Registered Investment Advisor based in Campbell, California.
