DIFFERENCES (value-investing vs. growth-investing)
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Thus far everything relating to stock selection has revolved around
earnings-per-share. Although both strategies have much in common,
they march to a different drummer. Value investing leaves the door wide-open
to low-growth stocks like utilities and automakers, but slams the door shut
on stocks deemed overvalued. In sharp contrast, growth investing
leaves the door wide-open to overvalued stocks but slams it shut
on low-growth companies. The best strategy to use hinges on the condition
that you personally believe is more desirable, a high-growth stock
or an undervalued stock. |
| Said Joan Wood, Senior Vice President at Scudder Kemper Investments, The
dot-com investing revolution has coincided with an explosion of financial news
coverage -- everything from new cable channels to investment Web sites. It has
been assumed that Americans have a voracious appetite for context and
commentary about the evolving investing landscape. This may be true, but this
survey reveals that most Americans believe the media is chiefly responsible for
creating a hyped atmosphere. |

ve expanded it to include other sites on value investing in general. You’ll
still find lots of links to Warren here, but much more as well. |
| What’s the difference between a financial adviser and a financial planner?
Damned if I know. I’ve classified as advisers those individuals that sell
stocks as well as mutual funds and they’re listed in the Brokers &
Investment Advisers category above. Financial Planners I’ve taken to be
individuals or companies specializing in a big picture outlook in personal
financial management, covering everything from debt management to insurance
to investing and RRSPs. Most such planners are licensed to sell mutual
funds but not stocks. And most have a CFP or RFP certification, though this
is not required by law and there are many freelance planners with no such
credentials. In any event, they’re listed here. |
