Long Term Investment - A Strategy for Growing Returns Without Sleepless Nights

Patience is a Virtue

Throughout the ages, great teachers have extolled the virtue of patience and this has proven to be true in the minefield of stock investments. Arguably the most well-known student of Benjamin Graham (the father of value investing), Warren Buffet gave two valuable pieces of advice:
1) “Price is what you pay. Value is what you get”.
2) “For the investor, a too-high purchase price for the stock of an excellent company can undo the effects of a subsequent decade of favorable business developments.”

Value investors who hold a long term view hunt for undervalued stocks that have solid fundamentals and a good growth trajectory. This puts them in a better position to ride out the inevitable ups and downs of equity markets without losing sleep and be able to profit in the long run. $Apple(AAPL.US)$  $Microsoft(MSFT.US)$  $Meta Platforms(FB.US)$  $Netflix(NFLX.US)$  $Amazon(AMZN.US)$  $Alphabet-C(GOOG.US)$  $Alphabet-A(GOOGL.US)$  $S&P 500 Index(.SPX.US)$  $S&P 500 Index(.SPX.US)$  $SPDR S&P 500 ETF(SPY.US)$  $Vanguard S&P 500 ETF(VOO.US)$ are examples of stocks that have born fruit for investors who invested in them early tor the long term.
