Value investing opportunities

I talked about value investing in my last post. Finally, I decided to jump in to kick start my investing journey. I looked at a couple of recommendations from my investing friends, and also read up other websites on investing. Basically, the US stock market is the main playground to invest.

The US markets has more than 8000 stocks, it's huge, but if you are looking to invest in low priced stocks, you got to work harder and do your homework, because most stocks, e.g. APPLE, IBM, NIKE, FACEBOOK are not cheap stocks to buy for a beginner like me!

Value investing is all about investing in good companies that you believe may be undervalued. The companies must have something unique that they can sell in the market that not many can compete, be profitable, with a growing earnings, low debt with cash and be able to raise price without risk.

So far, really, I'm still not making money yet, on paper, still lose a couple, but I do hope that I can do better.
