Professor George Athanassakos provides nine points, rules, and risks that value investors need to keep in mind.
"Value investors understand that risk cannot be accurately measured. That is why they developed the concept of margin of safety – not buying a stock unless it falls significantly (about 30 per cent) below its intrinsic value. This provides a mechanism for reducing risk which is totally distinct from diversification," writes Athanassakos, before providing his checklist.
