Product Description

Use a master’s lost secret to pick growth companies bound for success

In 1948, legendary Columbia University professor Benjamin Graham bought a major stake in the Government Employees Insurance Corporation. In a time when no one trusted the stock market, he championed value investing and helped introduce the world to intrinsic value. He had a powerful valuation formula.

Now, in this groundbreaking book, long-term investing expert Fred Martin shows you how to use value-investing principles to analyze and pick winning growth-stock companies—just like Graham did when he acquired GEICO.

Benjamin Graham and the Power of Growth Stocks is an advanced, hands-on guide for investors and executives who want to find the best growth stocks, develop a solid portfolio strategy, and execute trades for maximum profitability and limited risk. Through conversational explanations, real-world case studies, and pragmatic formulas, it shows you step-by-step how this enlightened trading philosophy is successful. The secret lies in Graham’s valuation formula, which has been out of print since 1962—until now. By calculating the proper data, you can gain clarity of focus on an investment by putting on blinders to variables that are alluring but irrelevant.

This one-stop guide to growing wealth shows you how to:

  • Liberate your money from the needs of mutual funds and brokers
  • Build a reasonable seven-year forecast for every company considered for your portfolio
  • Estimate a company’s future value in four easy steps
  • Ensure long-term profits with an unblinking buy-and-hold strategy

This complete guide shows you why Graham’s game-changing formula works and how to use it to build a profitable portfolio. Additionally, you learn tips and proven techniques for unlocking the formula’s full potential with disciplined research and emotional control to stick by your decisions through long periods of inactive trading. But even if your trading approach includes profiting from short-term volatility, you can still benefit from the valuation formula and process inside by using them to gain an advantageous perspective on stock prices.

Find the companies that will grow you a fortune with Benjamin Graham and the Power of Growth Stocks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear, concise, usable, Dec 22 2011
By Eric C. Sedensky "late-to-jazz musician" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Benjamin Graham and the Power of Growth Stocks: Lost Growth Stock Strategies from the Father of Value Investing (Hardcover)
I recently had the opportunity to read What Would Ben Graham Do Now?: A New Value Investing Playbook for a Global Age, a book that I did not find too interesting. So when faced with the opportunity to read and review a gratis copy of this book, I was a little hesitant. Once I started to read, however, I found my fears uncalled for. Where WWBGDN is vague, rambling and imprecise, Benjamin Graham and the Power of Growth Stocks is clear, concise, and infinitely usable.

Most investors by now are well familiar with the tenets of Benjamin Graham and his many disciples, which include a few pretty good investors, like Warren Buffet to name one. This book is particularly interesting because it revisits the investing philosophy of Mr. Graham with an angle toward using (I hesitate to say "specializing in") growth stocks. It then expounds on the most tangent of Mr. Graham's principles, and expands them in light of the modern investment environment. But what really makes this book a winner for me is the fact that it proposes and explains a tangible, executable formula and method for actually calculating the value of a growth stock and whether or not it is one that should be invested in. Too often we hear some investment advisor tell us, "This formula works, unless of course it doesn't". There is none of that here. You set the margin of safety where you are comfortable. You set the growth rate (called "hurdle rate" here) you need (or want) to achieve. You look up or calculate the values for the company you want to invest in. Then you apply Graham's formula. If the numbers match, great! You've found your stock. If they don't, you have to keep looking or change your expectations. The choices are always up to you. For a disciplined investor, I think this methodology is ideal. By constantly referring to Graham's teachings, the author has really reached an investment threshold that is understandable, achievable, and repeatable. The writing is crisp and friendly, and the style is homey without being corny or preachy. Above all, the author has a solid understanding of the investment principles of Ben Graham, and he has the experience of using them, and succeeding with them, over a statistically significant period of time. Without a doubt, Ben Graham's growth stock approach is sensible, making this book probably the best investment book I've read this year. I can only give it the highest possible marks.

5.0 out of 5 stars High Praise, Jan 25 2012
By Robert Mackenzie - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Benjamin Graham and the Power of Growth Stocks: Lost Growth Stock Strategies from the Father of Value Investing (Hardcover)
As a self-taught investor I have read about 15 books on investing for the long-term, from Graham to Fisher to Buffet, and I think "Benjamin Graham and the Power of Growth Stocks" absolutely belongs on every long-term growth investor's bookshelf; better yet, on his desk. I highly recommend this book for those who are new to the game, long-term growth investors and anyone who wants to learn how to find the intrinsic value of a company's stock price. The knowledge you will gain will save you years researching and scouring other books looking for the information presented here.

Picking good companies to invest in can be arduous, but this book can simplify the process by showing you how to use Graham's formula to calculate the ones to eliminate and the ones to buy with a Margin of Safety. In fact, I believe that Ben himself would be proud of the methodologies laid out in this book.

I recommend "Benjamin Graham and the Power of Growth Stocks" to any individual or professional investor with long-term investment goals. You will walk away with a better understanding of Mr. Market and how to invest for the long term.

This review is from: Benjamin Graham and the Power of Growth Stocks: Lost Growth Stock Strategies from the Father of Value Investing (Hardcover)
I met Fred Martin and his team a year ago and was impressed by their investment process, focus on the long term and capacity constraint mindset.
As became apparent during that meeting, they understood that growth stock investing does not mean neglecting valuation, quite the contrary, it makes them very disciplined. In this book Fred reveals which key criteria a company must meet to be considered for investing, while also revealing his valuation framework, using a formula first published by Graham in 1962.
Worth a read for the serious investor who can spend hours a week analyzing companies/stocks - as such it is probably especially worthwhile for his asset management peers.
