How to Value Shares and Outperform the Market: A Simple, New and Effective Approach to Value Investing: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "How to Value Shares and Outperform the Market: A Simple, New and Effective Approach to Value Investing" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

The simplest way to make money in the stock market is to buy shares when they are cheap and make profits when their prices increase. This technique is known as value investing and is the creed of the worlds most successful investor, Warren Buffett. But how do you know when a share price is cheap? This book explains in simple terms how you can develop your own UK share and FTSE100 valuation spreadsheets to calculate share and market valuations. Comparing the valuations to current market prices reveals when shares are underpriced and produces calibrated buy and sell signals. The FTSE100 system, for example, indicates the periods when you should be invested in the FTSE100 and the periods when you should not be. Since 1984 the in-periods have produced 94 times more capital growth than the out-periods. The new valuation system is the heart of this complete practical guide for managing your own investments. It shows how you should be able to double the value of your long-term investments purely through avoiding high commercial fund management fees. Using the new valuation system should help you do a lot better than this and, for example, secure a pension up to eight times larger than that provided by commercial managers. As well as providing comprehensive information about the practical and profitable ways in which you can use the new valuation system, this book is a complete toolkit for creating personal wealth through UK equity investment. It includes risk controls, tax breaks, free information sources and recommendations on the best service providers. In short this book is your first step along the road to financial security.

About the Author
After graduating from Wadham College Oxford Glenn Martin started a career in - photo 2

After graduating from Wadham College, Oxford, Glenn Martin started a career in the City. Over 34 years he worked for a number of financial institutions. Having started in retail banking with Williams & Glyns, he subsequently worked in all banking sectors, including corporate, institutional, private and investment banking. For the latter part of his career he worked as Chief Information Officer for investment banks. In 2003 he was nominated for Best Personal Contribution in the Financial News Awards for IT Excellence in Investment Banking. In 2004 he won the Banking Technology Award for the Best IT Operational Achievement.

As a successful private investor, in 1994 Glenn developed a system for calculating the intrinsic value of the FTSE100 Index and of individual UK shares. When the System proved reliable, he established ShareMaestro Limited in 2006 to package and promote the System. ShareMaestro has received very positive reviews in the financial press.

After his family and investment, Glenns main interests are tennis, travel and drumming.

Acknowledgements

The share valuation systems described in this book are based on ShareMaestro, which I launched commercially in 2007. Without the help of several key supporters, ShareMaestro would never have become available to private investors and this book would never have been written.

First I want to recognise the great work done by Zahir Virani, who turned what was a pretty crude spreadsheet into a great piece of software and who has managed subsequent enhancements very professionally. Next comes Dominic Picarda of the Investors Chronicle. Dominic has been a constant ally. He helped me tremendously with the validation of the share valuation system, always asks thought-provoking questions and has written some great articles on ShareMaestro for readers of the IC.

Tom Stevenson of TheDaily Telegraph had the courage to headline and showcase ShareMaestro, then an unknown system, in the business section of TheDaily Telegraph. It is extremely rare for articles on investment software to feature in the business pages of the broadsheets. Toms article was both shrewd and positive; it sealed the launch of ShareMaestro.

Simon Griffin, although a professional chartist for Shares Magazine, liked the logical structure of ShareMaestro as soon as I explained it to him. He has also provided valuable assistance and advice in my efforts to get a low-cost ShareMaestro fund marketed by a fund management group.

When Dave Evans, of What Really Profits magazine, first contacted me to do an article on ShareMaestro, I tried to put him off because I thought WRP concentrated on short-term trading systems. However, Dave would not be deterred. In addition to producing some very good articles on ShareMaestro, Dave regularly suggests strategies to boost ShareMaestro returns. The use of moving averages as a key risk control for the FTSE100 high-risk strategies is down to Dave.

Annabel Watson is my model private investor. As well as acting as my guinea pig for new versions of ShareMaestro, she has put a lot of effort into the presentational side of the product. She is also a great source of inspiration.

My final acknowledgement is to my family, who provide constant encouragement and put up with my obsession to equip and motivate private investors to manage their own funds.

Preface
What this book covers

Buy low, sell high is an old investment adage. However, as a piece of investment advice it is useless. You cannot know, until it is too late, whether the price at which you bought will prove to be low or high. If you bought at what you thought was a low price, say 100, and the price subsequently fell to, say, 50, you can see with the glorious benefit of hindsight that the price you paid was too high. But by then it is too late. You have made a loss. To help you buy low, you need a system which identifies cheap prices.

The investment advice of this book is buy cheap, sell dear. I explain how you can calculate the real current value of the UK market and of individual shares. By comparing these values with the current market prices you can see whether the prices are cheap or dear and thus can decide whether or not to make an investment.

The principle of buying shares when they are cheap is known as value investing. I explain the most popular techniques that are used by investors to identify cheap shares and why I think these techniques are deficient. These deficiencies prompted me to develop my new valuation system, which calculates the current value of UK shares and the UK market. To prevent any confusion, I refer to this new valuation system as
