the question is will they always remain value stocks or will they ever realize its true value ?
Aiyo, value investing is about margin of safety. Those companies the forums talk about are talking about their business. U need to make up their value to see if at current price they are still undervalued. Not see post follow post. Also, even I the price goes down, it might mean they are more undervalued. Don't be distracted by short term price movement la. If short term price movement is so important to u, u are at the wrong forum, there are others that give tips on pennies la. But that is speculating, make sure u know what u are doing.
life goes in cycles, predictable yet uncontrollable; just like the markets, but markets give you a second chance

value lies in the eye of the beholder
if its not popular now, it doesn't mean its not good
price and value are 2 different things

If a stock has become popular, most probably you are too late to buy it already. There is little meat left in the stock.

2) Rule # 2, refer to # 1.
3) Not until you can manage your emotions, you can manage your money.

A) Buying a security is buying RISK not Return
B) You can control RISK (to a certain level, hopefully only.) But definitely not the outcome of the Return.

Agree. If you have truly found an undervalued stock and it's not posted on this forum, will you start a new thread just to get the "comfort" of agreement?
