Know how to assess the actual value of a stock through various popular measures like P/E, P/B, PEG, etc.
Value Research was my first guide to personal finance and mutual funds. Even now, it helps me a lot by enriching my knowledge and updating me about the current market situation, while also clearing away confusion during the ups and downs of the market.
I regularly read Value Research mailers to apprise myself of investment trends. This provides me with a useful background when considering fresh investments. To evaluate fresh investments, I use performance tables, which provide a useful database to make investment decisions.
Where Value Research is really useful is when it comes to new or lesser known funds that are the emerging stars of tomorrow.
