The Intelligent Investor
The Intelligent Investor is a monthly research publication that arms investors with a very comprehensive and insightful analysis of the global economy, with a focus on the U.S. We present our analysis and forecast for each of the market indexes and ETFs and/or closed-end funds covered in this publication.
The Intelligent Investor was first published in written format. But we gradually changed to both written and video format. In recent years we have changed to pure video format (usually via live webinars) although we often also provide written notes too accompany the presentations.
The Intelligent Investor has two parts.
Part 1 - Recommended Securities List (a monthly publication)
The Recommended Securities List contains several securities spanning different investment objectives, such as growth, income, etc.
In this portion of the research we analyze each security on the Recommended List. The analysis for each security in this list is updated monthly.
We provide monthly discussions of each security, noting relevant points such as valuation, upcoming catalysts, material changes, risks and challenges. We provide active management recommendations for each securities.
The Recommended Securities List typically contains approximately 12 securities.
Part 2 - Market Forecasts (a monthly publication)
The Market Forecast portion of the Intelligent Investor comprises our research for the “Big 3” emerging markets (China, India, and Brazil). But the main focus is on the U.S. stock market (Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq).
The Intelligent Investor includes monthly market analysis and forecasts for the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, Nasdaq, the Chinese, Indian, and Brazilian stock markets (through analysis of the large cap ETFs and/or closed-end funds).
In addition to a detailed analysis and forecast for each market index/ETF/closed-end fund, this research publication discusses valuations, risk considerations, and provides general guidance for portfolio management.
Part 2 of the Intelligent Investor contains the same research provided by the Market Forecaster.
Finally, each issue of the Intelligent Investor contains valuable insights Mike has learned in his years as a Wall Street professional, trader, adviser to hedge funds, pension plans, merchant banker, venture capitalist and investment strategist.
Although the goal of this research publication is to provide subscribers with top-tier investment guidance and insight, it is also focused on educating subscribers so that they become sophisticated investors.
Thus, in addition to receive world-class analysis and forecasting in both the U.S. and emerging markets, subscribers to this research will also learn valuable skills involved with the investment process.
The Intelligent Investor should be thought of as an ongoing educational program that provides state-of-the-artist insight from one of the world's most creative and accomplished investment minds.
You should note that this publication is not for everyone. Only the most serious and committed investors should subscribe to the Intelligent Investor because each issue is long, very detailed and requires you to do some of your own legwork. This is the cost of becoming a sound and successful investor.
If you want to have buy and sell alerts sent to you or if you want some red and green light indicators, this publication is not for you. We wish you the best of luck if you choose that route because it's a losing game.
But if you want to become an independent thinker and a much better investor, all you need to do is subscribe and be prepared to put in some work.
It is important to note that we are not financial advisers and we do not provide financial advice. We issue general recommendations which should be customized based on each individual's investment suitability, skill level and other variables outside of our control.
Finally, you must also be patient and expect to put in several years of effort. There is no other route to becoming a successful investor.
Keep in mind that if you subscribe to the Intelligent Investor, you will have access to research headed by one of the leading investment minds in the world.
We provide generic guidance, but we do not offer personalized financial advice.
At the end of the day, it is up to each subscriber to determine how to best utilize our research.
