Discover Why Warren Buffett Says:
“If I Were Working with Small Capital, I Certainly Would Be Much More Inclined to Look Among What You Might Call Classic Graham Stocks.”
And How You Can Consistently Bring in 15% to 25% Per Annum Using the Graham Approach.
Dear Investor,
Have you ever read a report by Warren Buffett about how a group of superinvestors made incredible returns year in and year out for decades?
They owned different stocks in their portfolio, ran different companies, and still, each of them was able to achieve an impressive track record of 15% to 25% per annum in their investment returns.
Different stocks. Same results.
Warren Buffett calls them…
The Superinvestors of Graham-and-Doddville
There are altogether 9 of these superinvestors and each and every one of them were students of Benjamin Graham.
Of these 9 superinvestors, 4 of them closely followed how Graham invested during or at some point in their investment careers, notably:
- Walter Schloss — A super investor whose track record puts many professional fund managers to shame. He was a deep value investor, amassing a track record of 15.3% per annum after expenses in nearly 5 decades of investing. Now that’s consistency!
- Stan Perlmeter — A legendary investor who didn’t exactly care about what the news or experts were saying. He does his own research using Graham’s approach and boasted a track record of 23% per annum over 18 years.
- Tom Knapp and Ed Anderson — Founders of Tweedy, Browne Company LLC. In Buffett’s own words, Tom was a ‘beach bum’ who eventually ended owning the beach. Tweedy, Browne achieved staggering returns of 20% per annum for more than 15 years.
- Warren Buffett — Possibly the most well-known of them all. Between 1957 to 1969, Buffett amassed phenomenal 29.5% returns per annum using Graham’s approach before shutting down his partnership to form Berkshire Hathaway with Charlie Munger where he adopted a more value-growth approach to investing.
Who’s Benjamin Graham and what did these Superinvestors learn from him?
Benjamin Graham and His Approach to Investing
Besides being the mentor to the arguably the greatest investor of all time, Benjamin Graham is also widely known as the father of deep value investing.
Graham is also famous for his book The Intelligent Investor which is considered a stock market bible among investors around the world. In fact, Warren Buffett himself has said the book is:
“By far the best book on investing ever written.”
That is some high praise — especially coming from the Oracle of Omaha!
So the question is…
What did Warren Buffett Learn from Benjamin Graham?
Benjamin Graham used a method that has come to be known as Deep Value Investing.
You see, Graham wasn’t interested in buying the hottest stocks if it meant paying too high a price. He’d much rather buy a stock at undervalued prices knowing he got a significant discount from the get-go.
The Key Difference Between Graham’s Deep Value Investing and Buffett’s Value-Growth Investing
As we all know, it can be very difficult to predict the future with any near certainty.
So Instead of chasing growth and future returns, Graham believed in buying undervalued stocks with a large margin of safety between value and price — today. In other words, Graham effectively made a profit the moment he bought a stock, not when he sold.
With Graham’s deep value approach…
- You don’t have to predict if a company will record higher revenues next year or after
- You don’t have to worry if a company’s quarterly earnings meet analyst predictions or not
It doesn’t matter if it’s January, July or December…
As long as you can purchase a stock for significantly less than what it’s intrinsically worth now, you NO longer need to rely on future stock forecasts and growth — which requires a lot more time, effort, and research to get right, even for financial experts and seasoned investors.
So does Deep Value Investing Actually Work?
A Compustat study ranked stocks in deciles according to their price-to-book ratios and tracked their returns from 1951 to 2009 (59 years).
The study found that the stocks with the lowest P/B ratios delivered the highest returns over the long term. In fact, the four deciles with the lowest P/B ratios all beat the S&P 500 annualized returns of 10.7%.
Another recent study by Barclays Research pretty much confirmed the results. In this study, the 20% lowest P/B stocks outperformed the highest 20% P/B stocks by 7% annualised returns across 12 years (2002-2013).
All this points to one conclusion: Cheap, low P/B stocks tend to give better returns than high P/B stocks.
However, if Graham’s deep value philosophy is just all about buying cheap stocks, should we just invest in any low P/B or P/E stock?
Unfortunately, the answer is no.
The Problem with Cheap Stocks
Well, first of all, the research above is done on a wide universe of stocks – which isn’t feasible in reality for the individual investor.
For example, there are about 10,000 stocks in the U.S. market alone and buying just the lowest 10% P/B stocks means purchasing one thousand stocks! The commission fees alone will kill you (and eat into any returns you might have).
Even in Singapore which has around 770 stocks, buying 10% of that is still a very expensive and time-consuming project. Not only that, the lowest P/B stocks change annually, so you have to replace and recycle your stock selections year after year. It might work for a theoretical research study — but not for the individual retail investor in any practical sense.
Secondly, the problem with cheap stocks is that they are usually cheap for a reason — and the reason is always bad news. The company’s sales and profits might be plunging, overall demand is falling, or its industry is going through a prolonged recession.
Even worse, the management might be involved in an accounting scandal, or the company could be running out of cash and is on the brink of bankruptcy.
Would you dare to invest in a company like that?
So if you just closed your eyes and picked any cheap stock to invest in, you’d probably end up with a what we call a “value trap” — a bad company that looks cheap on paper but will never turn around and revalue upwards. You’re basically stuck with a cheap stock that will always remain cheap.
So how then do we find the right kind of deep value stocks to invest in?
How You Can Copy the Strategies of the Superinvestors of Graham-and-Doddville and Achieve 15-25% Returns a Year
That’s where a proven investment process is needed to sift the deep value stocks that have high turnaround potential from the value traps and ‘land mines’ out there.
An investment process that can detect whether a company’s poor results and sentiment is permanent or just temporary.
And also an investment process that’s able to give you a large margin of safety and protect your downside — so you’ll never have to face unnecessary risks just to earn outsized returns.
And this is where we’d like to introduce…
Deep Value Detector™ is an online video training course that focuses on identifying and investing in deep value stocks — the kind of stocks that’ll earn you market-beating returns like the superinvestors of Graham-and-Doddville.
Yes, we’re talking about 15-25% a year investing in deeply undervalued companies with low risk, and without having to make a prediction on how well these companies will perform in the future.
You can even apply deep value strategies on blue-chip stocks like large property conglomerates and Singapore banks and stll achieve sizable returns. Because with deep value, you are essentially ‘profitable’ the moment you purchase a stock.
In fact, here’s what fund manager Mr TAY JUN HAO achieved by investing in deep value stocks alone.
His portfolio returns?
16.95% CAGR and 146.03% in Cumulative Returns!

In other words, even if the company went bankrupt tomorrow, its liquidation value per share would still be worth more than what you paid for it. Net-net companies are deeply undervalued.
In this module, you’ll discover:

- How to correctly discount a net-net company’s current assets and determine an accurate value of its NCAV

FAQ
What is Deep Value Detector™?
Deep Value Detector™ is an online video training course that’s designed to teach you how to invest in deep value stocks. The course also covers how to invest in Asian property conglomerates, Singapore banks, and net-net stocks using a deep value approach.
You can access Deep Value Detector™ anytime you want and go through the modules at your own time and pace from the comfort of your home (or office).
Why deep value? Does it work?
Deep value investing was the original investment style Warren Buffett used while he was learning under his mentor, Benjamin Graham, early in his investment journey.
Between 1957 to 1969, Warren Buffett enjoyed the best returns in his career and generated a compounded annual growth rate of 29.5% applying the deep value method taught by Benjamin Graham.
“The highest rates of return I’ve ever achieved were in the 1950’s. I killed the Dow. You ought to see the numbers. I think I could make you 50% a year on $1 million. No, I know I could. I guarantee that.” – Warren Buffett
In a nutshell, instead of chasing future growth and future stock returns, deep value investors look for undervalued stocks with a large margin of safety between value and price. So instead of predicting how well a company might (or might not) perform in the next year few years, deep value investors are more concerned about protecting their downside and getting a good price out of their investment today – and the upside naturally will take care of itself.
