Cheap Stocks
Type: Net Nets
Summary: A blog that tracks a model portfolio of stupid cheap companies and provides weekly updates.
Why I like it: Provides concise and straight to the point updates and reasoning. You will have to do your own work with the names that come up here but a great place to get ideas.
Cheap Stocks: Below NCAV, Real Estate and other Value Strategies
Type: Net Nets
Summary: A blog dedicated to discussing net net stocks.
Why I like it: Provides a bit more detail than Cheap Stocks above, but purely focused on net net stocks and tracks a net net index. It’s a shame that the blog is updated only once a month.
Classic Value Investors
Type: Traditional
Summary: Features highly detailed and full out analysis of unloved stocks that the author owns.
Why I like it: If you hold any of the same positions and want some of the best researched analysis, Classic Value Investors is a great source.
Kelpie Capital
Type: Traditional
Summary: An investor working in a large wealth management firm in the UK writing a good blog focusing on detailed and well researched stock analysis from varying angles.
Why I like it: Provides awesome and complete analysis. You get everything about the industry as well as the company.
I have only read the blog on and off because I couldn’t find the sign up or RSS link for the longest time. Here is the RSS link though.
Long Term Value Blog
Type: Traditional
Summary: Writes about his own stock positions, provides insightful details and reasoning.
Why I like it: Insightful thoughts instead of the same cop out phrases you see a lot. May not provide a full analysis, but provides thoughts on a topic or issue that you may not have thought about.
Musings on Markets
Type: Educational
Summary: Written by Professor Aswath Damodaran a heavy weight champion when it comes to valuation and business.
Why I like it: You learn a lot. Professor Damodaran is able to convey a complex idea into an understandable and digestible explanation.
Shadow Stock
Type: Deep Value
Summary: Provides deep value stock ideas with fundamental data to back it up.
Why I like it: One of the best sources of deep value ideas.
Value Uncovered
Type: Deep Value
Summary: Specializes in stock analysis of illiquid, deep value stocks.
Why I like it: Deep value is where the greatest market inefficiencies lie. Stock picks from value uncovered have regularly exceeded 100% returns.
Value Slant
Type: Traditional
Summary: Much like Classic Value Investors and Kelpie Capital providing excellent stock analysis.
Why I like it: Important to read and learn from good stock analysis. You get to see new methods you may not have thought about.
White Collar Fraud
Type: hmmm… Detective?
Summary: Raises questions and challenges companies related to questionable accounting and securities fraud.
Why I like it: Ex criminal CFO of Crazy Eddie. What’s not to like? He knows the ins and outs of fraud and is now out there helping to catch the bad guys.
