What is Value Investing?

Value investing is an investment strategy that involves identifying stocks and other securities that appear to be trading for less than their intrinsic value. Value investors typically conduct thorough due diligence on the securities they are interested in tracking and adhere to longer investment holding periods. As a result, these investors tend to ignore price movements that do not appear to correspond with a company's long-term fundamentals, such as sudden reactions to wider industry news or short-term market events.
