Make money 'without actual work'

[sgd]

out of 10 in this forum I will say 1 or 2 are real true value investors. The rest just taking on the name only.

How would you determine if a person was a "real" value investor or just in name? I think you would have to observe his behaviour as well as performance over an extended period of time, right? Therefore, what makes you conclude that only about 10% to 20% of the forumers here represent ""true" value investors?

Just to give an example I think one of the very few deserving for the title "value investor" I think will have to go to dxdy. I see the stocks he follows from wallstraits days until now and that's like 4-5 years ago already. I don't see many like that around I'm sure there are others like him maybe lurking around but I think very few out of the many in this forum. I think maybe the rest are mixed kind of investors maybe 60%-70% of the time they are value investors.

Myself from wallstraits time to afralug to now VB but I don't consider myself true value investor I have some dividend stocks but I also buy and sell whatever opportunity present itself. If the stock cheong very high and there is good profit If I sell why not if it tanks and the yield shoots up I will buy. My only discipline is I don't short don't borrow don't leverage and no contraing either is just my way and preference. So my only play is usually buy low and sell high whether is for short term or speculate or for dividend.

So if you look at a counter like challenger already gone up so high is a good stock I agree but I will not buy it because I am a buy low to sell high kind of investor, if it tanks maybe I will jump in because I know the value investors are monitoring the yield and will buy on weakness also so there's a chance the stock will recover in time so I will buy if there's opportunity. Is good to follow value investors crowd because they will stay commit no matter what kind of weather
