Value Investing

As investors, we are inspired by the idea of value investing.

Value investing initially defined by Benjamin Graham and David Dodd. "The central process of value investing is disarmingly simple. A value investor estimates the fundamental value of a financial security and compares that value to the current price Mr. Market is offering for it. If price is lower than value by a sufficient margin of safety, the value investor buys the security. We can think of this formula as the master recipe of Graham and Dodd value investing." (quotation from "Value Investing" by Bruce Greenwald)

The basic steps involving in the process of value investing are as follows:

• Selecting security for valuation
• Estimating their fundamental values
• Calculating the appropriate margin of safety required for each security
• Deciding how much of each security to buy
• Deciding when to sell securities

These are not trivial decisions. To search for securities selling below their intrinsic value is one thing; to find them is quite another, not to mention the time required to perform each of above-mentioned tasks.

Of course, there are a lot of web sites where you can find Balance Sheet, Income and Cash Flow Statements almost for any publicly traded business, so stock2own.com focuses on financial statements analysis. We developed Stock Analyzer, which produces detailed analysis of financial statements and calculates intrinsic value of a security.

Technical Analysis

Technical analysis is frequently contrasted with fundamental analysis and value investing.

Technical analysts seek to identify price patterns and trends in financial markets and attempt to exploit those patterns. While technicians use various methods and tools, the study of price charts (Technical Indicators) is primary. Technicians avoid fundamental analysis of any kind. They believe that the history of price movements, reflecting the supply and demand for that security over time, traces patterns that they can analyze to infer future price movement. Even saying all that, very few investors totally ignore technical information.

Technical Indicators can be used as a short term forecast of a security price. They show money flows in and out of a stock. Some of technical indicators are available for you in Stock Analyzer.

The Game

We realize how deep gap lies between "knowing the path" and "walking the path". So we designed the game. The game focus is technical analysis. We believe that practice in reading technical indicators will help player develop necessary skills to make a quick and accurate buy/sell decision in a real world.

The main goal of the player in this game is raise as much money as possible by buying and selling stocks. The better annual growth rate of player's portfolio the better the game score is.

Since we believe that every investor has its own goals, unique preferences and risk tolerance, we offer personalized Watch Lists, where registered stock2own user can maintain his own lists of securities with current price and technical indicator alert for each security.
