Possible Strategies

But Benjamin Graham states there are actually four, at least main ones:
1. Buying in low markets, selling in high markets
The stock market moves in somewhat prolonged cycles, positive and negative ones. This strategy proposes for you to take advantage of these large fluctuations.
2. Buying carefully chosen growth stocks
A growth stock is a share in a business that's shown above avg growth and has the potential to continue growing faster than the economy.
3. Buying bargain issues
Every security has a 'true' intrinsic value. If the actual issue is trading well below that threshold, it could be a bargain issue. The strategy here is buying it because it 'should naturally tend to its intrinsic value'.
4. Buying into special situations
These are situations where the ultimate payout is independent of stock market factors. A typical example is arbitrages.
Of course, none of the strategies is simple. If one were, everybody would do it and would suddenly lose alpha. But it is very important to acknowledge the main paths from where the little ones originate.
For example, a little path that bifurcates from the main ones is a recommended (by Graham) strategy:
Buying the relatively unpopular large company that has shown above avg earning growth and can continue growing. $Invesco QQQ Trust(QQQ.US)$ $SPDR S&P 500 ETF(SPY.US)$ $ProShares UltraPro Short QQQ ETF(SQQQ.US)$ $Tesla(TSLA.US)$ $Tesla(TSLA.US)$
