UndervaluedSecurities.com founder and team adhere to value investing principles as practiced by Benjamin Graham and Warren E. Buffett:

• We focus on business operating performance of individual companies, not on the general stock market movements and various economic predictions.
• We always apply "Margin of Safety" on every capital allocation decision to minimize downside risks; Warren Buffett once said: "Rule No.1: Don't lose money. Rule No. 2: Don't forget rule No. 1."
  
• We are patient investor and believe that in the short term the market is psychologically driven but in the long term, it will reward great businesses or assets selling at discounted price.
• We are flexible in buying and selling our investments based on overvaluation and undervaluation; at some point either due to the size of market saturation, even a seemingly great high-growth business may generate very dismal stock performance for the next 10 years due to overvaluation.
• We avoid businesses in which managements only enrich themselves rather than their companies' shareholders (afterall, shareholders are the ultimate owners of the company).

"An investment operation is one which upon thorough analysis promises safety of principal and an adequate return. Operations not meeting these requirements are speculative." ~ Benjamin Graham
