Keep INVESTING Simple and Safe (KISS) ****Investment Philosophy, Strategy and various Valuation Methods**** The same forces that bring risk into investing in the stock market also make possible the large gains many investors enjoy. It’s true that the fluctuations in the market make for losses as well as gains but if you have a proven strategy and stick with it over the long term you will be a winner!****Warren Buffett: Rule No. 1 - Never lose money. Rule No. 2 - Never forget Rule No. 1.

Value Investment is a Risk-Averse Approach
Conclusion
Fundamental Analysis is a structured and formal approach to research on a stock's value and its potential growth. This analytical procedure facilitates the identification of overvalued and undervalued stocks relative to their earnings potential, dividend income potential and to their asset values, against the backdrop of the economic and industry environment. On the basis of the research, investment decisions are made such that the odds are stacked in favour of the Fundamental Analyst.
