[edit] This page has potential
- I think that this is an article/page at Wikipedia that could become much more substantial, and be a meeting place for value investors to add more tidbits of strategy, history, and resources. Let's try to pool together our knowledge and ramp up this article! Smeelgova 03:16, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Commercial Content
- Agree this page could be more substantial. However, according to rules of community, blatantly promotional content may be in appropriate. Therefore removed reference to Value Congress and a few other things. Please respect rules of the wiki community.
- In order to "respect rules of the wiki community.", one must define what is and is not of important to the average reader who stumbles upon the Value Investing page. The Value Investing Congress is not "blatantly promotional content", but a well regarded event attended by many other famous and successful investors besides Tilson. The reader would benefit from this information. I have no personal connection to the conference and have never been myself, but the list of investors who have attended speaks for itself. These include Bill Miller, Joel Greenblatt, and Marty Whitman, among others. Smeelgova 02:37, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
- Smeelgova, I agree that the VIC is not blatantly promotional, but I do question its importance. At the least, I think it should be lower on the page, since it is somewhat tangential to the concept of value investing. This will be more important once we add more, such as the aforementioned concept of intrinsic value. Goodemi 18:56, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Organization
Howdy! This page looks to me like it needs a lot better organization--the lists of value investors is not in any order. Some of the sections seem misplaced. I think a section on how successful various value investors have been or how successful the basic value strategy is would be a nice addition. I'll see what I can contribute.

I think talking about Buffett's article on the Superinvestors of Graham and Doddsville would be useful: http://www1.gsb.columbia.edu/valueinvesting/research/public_archives/DOC032.PDF
Changes to Well Known Value Investors?
- Put a short blurb on their investing performance?Goodemi 16:33, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
- Sure, converting some of the list into a narrative section and making the remaining list a sub-section would probably look much better. I always think that naked lists look too bare and uninformative. --GraemeL (talk) 16:49, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Value Investing
Thanks for offering to help on the value investing page, this can be a neat place to pool our resources in this area and create a nice article for visitors.Smeelgova 17:50, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Deep Value Investing
I created a page for Deep Value Investing which is more specific style of value investing and has also returned better results. Do you guys think it would be a good idea to add Deep Value Investing as a link on this page?

- Dave--sign your name with 4 tildes. Also, why does there need to be a seperate page on 'deep value investing'? It sounds more like a marketing term than a widely used term. For example, I have not seen either Graham or Buffett use the term 'Deep Value'. They both, on the other hand, talked about buying stocks well below book value. At the moment, what new information you have on the deep value investing page could easily go in a section on the value investing page as a type of value investing: 'buying stocks below book value'.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:BenjaminGraham.jpg
Image:BenjaminGraham.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
