As investors, we are inspired by the idea of value investing, which initially defined by Benjamin Graham and David Dodd. 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

"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
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.

For your convenience, each row and each column in the Growth Rates section includes quick extra analysis and shows how good the numbers in the column or row are. Basic rule is simple - the business is predictably strong if major growth rates are not less than 10% for the latest 10 years.

- Value and MOS Prices - valuating fundamental values and calculating Value and margin of safety (MOS) Prices for Pessimistic, Moderate and Optimistic projections.
- Investment Recovery Time (IRT) - Investment Recovery Time is the number of years it would take for the cumulative earnings of a company (based on the forecast of future earnings growth) to equal the current price of the stock. Investment Recovery Time shows the correlation between current market price and EPS. Phil Town, the author of "Rule #1" and "Payback Time" said "A payback time of ten years or less is an attractive price. The Payback Time of less than six years is very attractive. Very."
