Some lessons from a value investor

[yadayada]

So right about Hope. And hope's best friend is greed.  I think everyone has to work between greed and fear. Some people have more greed, and some people more fear. I can be a bit too careless, so i gotta keep greed in check.

A few clarifications are in order from my original post based on many comments:

 

I tend to buy deep value stocks. I look for stocks with the largest discrepancy between price and value.

 

When I mentioned dividend stocks, I had in mind companies that have a problem that seems fixable and offer in the meantime a decent to high yield. This is not your Blue Chip stock with a dividend that grows every year.

 

And yes I am from Canada. In the U.S., waiting a bit to move from short term to long term changes a lot your rate of taxation.
