Value Investor Workshop The Value Investor Workshop is dedicated to those investors who view the purchase of stocks as the passive ownership of a portion of a business. It's purpose is to give the user an unbiased interpretation of the current valuation environment, the historical record, and links to the best free sources of relevant information. Unlike many analysts and financial media sources, I have no vested interest in higher prices, larger volumes, managing your money, or pleasing corporate clients with whom I do business. I will call them as I see them.positive and negative! My only purpose is to help you make profitable long term investment decisions based on value. There is a great deal of historical data on the Dow Jones, S&P500, interest rates, inflation, PE ratios and past bear markets.

Paul, what I have laid out for you is called "Modern Portfolio Theory". It has garnered a raft of Nobel prizes in economics, and it has a very firm theoretical as well as empirical foundation. It is taught in virtually every MBA program in the country. You can read an excellent summary of the thinking, observation and evidence behind this approach in Burton Malkiel's "A Random Walk Down Wall Street". The book is available in paperback for under $20. This book should be a must read for every investor. Maybe after you've had a chance to read the evidence you'll change your mind. Regards, Paul
