Value Investing Forum: A forum for discussing value investing ideas.
DigStock: A Digg style stock news site. This site does not serve a particular niche like Fat Pitch News does. Therefore, the stories tend to be less relevant for value investors. However, DigStock does manage to bring some interesting stories to your attention. It’s worth a visit.
Fat Pitch News: A community driven value investing news site. You can submit links to investment articles, “bid” up stories to the front page by clicking on the green up arrows, and make comments. With Fat Pitch News, users submit stories for review, but rather than allow an editor to decide which stories go on the front page, the users do. The goal of Fat Pitch News is to aggregate all the high quality investment information scattered across the Internet and produce a sorted list of “must read” articles selected by the community. This will save investors time and ensure that they do not miss out on important articles that might have been published on sites that they do not normally visit.
The Motley Fool: This is a very popular investing community featuring plenty of articles written by the staff. In terms of the volume of original written material, this is one of the best investing sites on the web. Unfortunately, the breadth of subject matter covered by each writer and the tendency towards remaining non-committal regardless of the facts make the articles less valuable than the posts found on the very best investing blogs. Of course, no single blogger can match The Motley Fool’s scope. The articles regularly include ads for the Fool’s paid newsletters. Regular readers of Fool articles will tire of these ads very quickly.
Contrarian Investing Association: To date, this is the best website I’ve found on contrarian investing. It includes some short articles on contrarian investing strategies and on the great investors who practiced them. You can also find several good books at this site.
The Contrarian Investing Association looks for strongly financed, growing companies that are undervalued by the market for the wrong reasons, believing that the market will come to appreciate their true value over time. This investing approach can also be described as Contrarian, since such stocks are purchased when most investors believe that they are unattractive.
Guru Focus: One of my favorite sites. Guru Focus is a one of a kind resource that allows you to track the recent transactions and major holdings of the world’s greatest investors. The site also features articles and a discussion forum as well as a few other neat tools. It is a very specialized site. If you aren’t interested in what the gurus are buying, you aren’t going to like this site. Having said that, I can’t recommend it highly enough.
Vinvesting: The premier value investing website. Vinvesting features extensive value investing articles, message boards, and links. The site also includes a value investing learning center with a glossary and a syndicated news section.
