You Can't Help but Pick Profitable Stocks to Buy Using these Proven Techniques

Hi, I'm Shailesh. I have been helping investors like you since 2011 to achieve market beating returns with minimal risk, using time-tested principles of value investing.

Greed and Fear.

You see, humans evolved to follow the herd. There is safety in numbers. Imagine you were being chased by hungry wolves. Wouldn't you want to stay close to others?

This instinct is deeply ingrained in our brain. Also called "fight or flight response", it causes us to exit declining stocks and chase rising stocks. It causes us to buy stocks that are mentioned on popular financial television programs. You buy stocks that your friends buy. Your friends do the same. Smart people are not immune to this. This is a basic human survival instinct that has served us well in ancient times. It just doesn't work today when it comes to investing.

This creates the bubbles and later, crashes.

Best strategies in investing use the methods that have been proven to work consistently over time. The following 2 "factors" allow you to home in on the most profitable segment of the markets.

Value Premium is an observation that over long period, value stocks out perform growth stocks.

Ironically, Value Premium was first described by Fama and French, the same duo who formulated the Efficient Market Hypothesis. As you know, EMH states that no investor has an advantage in the market. The Value Premium observation openly defied the Efficient Market Hypothesis, and as the research points out, has done so consistently in the last 80+ years.

Size Premium is an observation that over long period, small cap stocks out perform larger capitalization stocks.

This effect was thought to be lost in the recent years. However, new research shows that Size Premium still exists, as long as you remove the low quality stocks.

2 investors who own all the same stocks will end up with different returns. In fact, one of them may lose money while the other is wildly profitable.

This happens all the time. The reason is that investors typically decide how much to invest in any one stock either randomly, or they choose to just do an equal allocation. However, all stocks in your portfolio are not equal. They have differing expected returns and they also have differing risk.

There are strategies to size positions optimally, that either maximize the returns or minimize the risk of loss. ​These strategies are not secret, but they do require more discipline and knowledge of the math behind risk and returns to properly execute.

If you use these 3 techniques, you will buy stocks that tend to be potentially most profitable on their own, and then you will combine these stocks in the right proportion in your portfolio to give you the best risk-adjusted return possible. This is a complete strategy you can use to achieve superior performance in the stock market

It did for me.

I started investing like most others - hesitantly at first, with small amounts, and taking advice from others who had been doing this for much longer. Perhaps you started the same way.

Then I got caught up in the internet stock mania. I made a lot of money, and lost almost all of it.

There has to be a better way, I thought. I started reading all I can about investing. Someone told me to read books by Peter Lynch. I did. I read Fisher. I learned to read the financial statements. I have actually spent a lot of time back in the day poring over Value Line in the public library.

Over time I gravitated towards value investing. It just made intuitive sense. Practicing it in real world was hard, but I got better over time. I liked smaller stocks because they were just easier to analyze.

Then life caught up with me. You know, the American dream. A house, kids, moving in next to the Joneses, etc! I completed my MBA and then I started my climb up the corporate ladder.

Somewhere along the line I got bit by the entrepreneurship bug. In 2008 I found myself sitting across the table from a JP Morgan-Chase Vice President, pitching him for a loan to recapitalize the steel business that I had purchased a year ago. We had agreed to the terms and met again next Monday to sign the documents and formalize the loan.

Over the weekend, Lehman Brothers collapsed. The financial markets were in turmoil and the credit dried up overnight.

The banker demanded impossible collateral, and when I refused, he withdrew the loan approval. Leafing through my paperwork, he said:

I was not in the investments business, but I was curious, so I asked why he said this. He said, "because I am looking at your tax returns and I have never seen such a consistent and solid investment performance year after year in my decades of dealing with people".

​

I did not think much of this at that time. However, over the next year I thought about this some more and realized that while I was busy with life and business, I had simplified my investing process to just focus on small and undervalued companies. And since I was consulting with businesses and later running my own small manufacturing company, I got really good at understanding what makes a business successful (or fail)

I had accidentally stumbled upon the formula for investment success. 

When I exited my steel business, I formalized my investment philosophy and launched Value Stock Guide. Ever since 2011, I have been helping investors like you achieve spectacular returns at minimal risk.

Of course, knowing what to do and actually doing it are two different things. Coming back to the original question, we know what works in the stock market. So why do most investors not do what really works?

We get emotional about money.

After all, not everything you read on the internet is trustworthy. How do you know what I write on this page is true and accurate? Allow me to answer a few questions I expect many to have at this time.

Yes, I am :). Twitter verified me and gave me the blue tick (@arohan). Search on Google for my name "Shailesh Kumar" and you will likely see more information displayed about me on the right side of the search page (atleast in the US). There is a page in Wikipedia about me. I have been mentioned or interviewed by New York Times, CNBC, Huffington Post, US News and World Report, and other national and international media. I have participated in Bloomberg Small Cap Equities conference and have been involved with the charity Portfolios with Purpose. And finally, I am a published author and you can purchase my books on Amazon.

Every one of my member is in effect an auditor of my results. For one, they can see the results of my recommendations directly in their own portfolios. Additionally, I email you all my transactions and they are recorded on the website in the Member area. My returns are calculated based on the transactions that you as a member already know of.

There are certainly disadvantages if you are not the right fit for Value Stock Guide. I do my best by listing them below.
