"I am no longer an advocate of elaborate techniques of Security Analysis in order to find superior value opportunities. This was a rewarding activity, say, 40 years ago, when our textbook "Graham and Dodd" was first published; but the situation has changed a great deal since then. In the old days any well-trained security analyst could do a good professional job of selecting undervalued issues through detailed studies; but in the light of the enormous amount of research now being carried on, I doubt whether in most cases such extensive efforts will generate sufficiently superior selections to justify their cost. To that very limited extent, I'm on the side of the "efficient market" school of thought now generally accepted by the professors."
So does he totally discredit value investing? I haven't read this in its entire context, so it may not be over. I would love to find out what he actually meant, and how someone like Buffett would respond.
Ben Graham has always wavered back and forth on the idea that one really could get superior results. In The Intelligent Investor, he outlines something very much like the Efficient Market Hypothesis, pointing out the difficulty for the average investor of discovering a market inefficiency that all of the research analysts and money managers on Wall Street have missed.
I have read in several other places that late in life he moved further away from the belief that value investing could provide superior returns. Your quotation from Graham does not seem like a big break with his past views, but instead a moderate change in belief brought about by new circumstances.
So the father of value investing now believes that value investing doesn't work? That's pretty disappointing to hear. Why isn't this topic blown up more? Everyone talks about how great value investing is, but no one mentions how Graham thinks it is not relevant anymore. I'm assuming it's alive today because of Buffett.
I hate EMH and dislike the idea that Ben Graham would discredit the best idea in finance - especially since he came up with the fuckin' thing. Wow, I really hope everyone starts abiding by the EMH principles so I can make some money - it's easy to win a race if no one else even tries.
BP fell as low as $30 a share after the Oil Spill. Its decline in price was 100% based on market emotion, with no financial analysis justifying the fall in share price. Needless to say, any value investor could have picked up on this. Made a 33% return in about a month.
I wouldn't say it was purely on emotion, there were real concerns that BP could face huge fines and regulatory uncertainty for a long time following the oil spill. No one really knew how long it was going to last and no one really knew what the political reaction would be. Its really easy to look back and think the guys who sold BP were idiots, but history is full of firsts, and there was a possibility it could severely damaged the firm's long term profitability.
It's very easy to say something was undervalued or the market overreacted after the fact. Its much more difficult to analyze the financial impact of an event like Macondo in real time. Especially when everyone on the planet is going after BP's head.
The investing/trading game is all about getting in earlier than someone else. What a value investor does is buy when no one has the balls to do it, and sell when everyone believes the stock is God's gift to humanity. That is the key to his superior returns. He makes the decisions the market cannot, before the market decides it's the right thing to do.
What does this mean for value and LT investors and students wanting to become one of them? If there's no market anymore, than it would follow that there will be a reduction in jobs. Is this, too, a dying industry?
I think Graham was talking more about how much more efficient markets have gotten, especially in the U.S. and Europe, so that it's a lot more difficult to find opportunities than it was in his time. Doesn't mean value investing's dead, but actually that it's tougher to pull off because more and more people have adopted it.
Interesting... i have read both the intelligent investor and security analysis and for a time i was the most astute value investor you would ever come across. Fast forward a few years and the portfolio i had constructed based on Graham's rules was still relatively flat, furthermore, Buffet's BRK.A and BRK.B have been under performing the S&P for the past 5 years. I do not discredit Mr. Graham 100% but i do agree with the point he brings up that the markets have changed. You have to take into account that his first book was written based on the performance of his theory dating back to the 1920s. That being said, it isn't impossible to find value stocks, just substantially harder, and takes a lot more effort than it once did.
Arant, agreed.... that's what I wrote in my first post in this thread. Buffet made money on growth and then shifted to more value/dividend names. Also helps to be doing this during the greatest bull market in the US (1980s/1990s) and avoiding tech.
Have you guys read Security Analysis? The techniques in that book are things like adding up the liquidation value of inventories, receivables, and cash, and buying the stock when it trades at two thirds of that or less. In the 40's and 50's, Buffett was able to buy a life insurance stock at a P/E of 1. 1! Those bargains disappeared thanks to the resurgence of equity investors, and--especially--the growth of go-go mutual funds and conglomerates in the 60's. Both groups indiscriminately bought small-caps based on fairly simple valuation metrics.
Graham isn't saying value is dead; he's saying that it's harder than it used to be. But the general attitude--that stocks can be underpriced due to non-fundamental reasons, and that it can be fruitful to invest on this basis--is self-evidently sound. Or, at least, it's true to the extent that people don't believe in it.
I think the fairest way to state this is: early in Graham's career, the ROI on fundamental research was insanely high, to the point that lots of fairly ordinary people could earn annual returns in the teens by doing pretty formulaic work. But because that stuff was fairly easy, people invested and then overinvested in research. Now, an ordinary person can't achieve outstanding returns just based on buying quantitatively cheap stocks. But it's still possible to juice your returns by investing in qualitatively superior companies, at sane prices.
