The concept of value investing came in 1934, in "Security Analysis" work of Benjamin Graham and David Dodd. Later, Warren Buffett, coached by Graham, was to become one of the richest men in the world and considered by many the best investor of our time, using the concepts of value investing. Because of this, Buffett is considered the leading "popularizer" of value investing.
The first point to be savvy when it comes to value investing is the difference between value and price.
Value is something intrinsic to the company, i.e., a company has high or low value depending on its quality as an organization, regardless of its current price;
Price is the monetary amount which the market assigns to a given company at a given time. It may be greater or less than the "actual value" of the enterprise.
Especially in the stock market, the law of supply and demand works too hard. If many people are selling a stock, the price of it falls; if enough people are buying, the price of the same stock rises. However, the "value" of the company remains the same, and the company has not become better or worse in the low or high of the share price. If it is a stable company, it remains stable. If it is profitable, it is still profitable.
