Finance allah shmoop what is the gram and dod investment

00:06

style Well they're old geezers who literally wrote the book

00:11

on value investing all right value that is companies where

00:15

the dollar invested today can be easily mathematically mapped out

00:19

such that the company returns well more than a dollar

00:22

in a relatively short time period like either in earnings

00:25

or dividends or both All right think generally low p

00:28

e ratios here in value investing high dividends modest growth

00:33

highly predictable A revenue stream and no huge capital expenditures

00:39

needed down the road We'll a key distinction of the

00:41

gram and dod system was to buy low and then

00:45

sell when fairly priced not like buy low sell high

00:48

as the cliche goes and this is the opposite of

00:51

a momenta Mohr go go investor who's kind of like

00:55

buy high sell higher kind of pattern Yeah well the

00:58

core idea that comprises investing logic is that if you

01:01

invest a dollar today you expect to get more than

01:03

a dollar back tomorrow or next year or next decade

01:06

So if a company has no debt in a dollar

01:08

of cash and will earn a dollar this here in

01:10

dollars ten next year in a dollar twenty The next

01:12

they're just plants keep its cash or buy back stock

01:14

with it and that company can be bought for ten

01:17

bucks a share Then it's a value stock in today's

01:20

world in graham and dod would probably be along that

01:23

stock or buy it well The equity value of the

01:25

company in this case is nine bucks a share After

01:28

subtracting that dollars share of cash with earnings growing slowly

01:31

and steadily life is grand with very low downside risk

01:36

and the company should be able to double in value

01:38

all else being equal about every six seven eight years

01:40

or so with very high predictability and well that's Very

01:44

nice investment Turn for value investors So graham is yoda

01:47

dada's obi wan and they note the fine picture of

01:51

their disciple here Luke that's biggest fan Look sharp it 00:01:56.308 --> [endTime] geico
