Warren Buffett is probably the greatest investor in the world. And when we say “probably” we really mean “is”.
Buffett is estimated to be worth $US83 billion (not including the billions he’s already given away to charity) and, yep, he did make the majority of his wealth after his 50th birthday.
The question is…HOW did he become a self-made billionaire???
Value-investing!
In other words: he invested in stocks that were priced for LESS than their true worth. And he held onto them for the long term. That’s it.
So as a very special treat for OUR 250th EPISODE…WE’VE GOT “AUSTRALIA’S WARREN BUFFETT” in the house!
Today’s guest is none other than:
Roger Montgomery, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Montgomery Investment Management, which is a Sydney-based specialist boutique equity manager that manages $1.5 billion on behalf of private investors, their advisors and families. Through a simple, common and time-tested philosophy, Montgomery manages several VALUE-ORIENTED FUNDS focused on the various aspects of quality to generate superior returns over the very long term.
Before we unpack all this completely, Roger’s 26-year background in financial markets includes Equity Analysis, Equity and Derivative Trading, and Investment Banking. After founding, listing and selling a financial services business and listed investment company, Roger established his boutique investment management office. In 2010, he published his first best-selling book, Value.able – How to Value the Best Stocks and Buy Them for Less Than They’re Worth.
The clincher, folks?? His book, of course, sets out his three simple steps for value-investing and online trading.
