Synopsis
This book discusses an innovative value approach: an investor looking at his/her investments as a businessman/woman might think of their business. In other words, being an "entrepreneurial investor." Sections include discussion on thinking like an owner; how to decipher what companies are worth owning; cutting through the noise and hype and focusing on the companies financials to determine its worth; and how to be ain investor with an eye toward the longterm. The West Coast Asset Management team, with $439 million in firm assets under management, brings their techniques and strategies to light for readers here in every chapter of this book. Their focus on smaller-cap S&P stocks with a high margin of safety that trade at a large discount to their assessment of their intrinsic value is what makes WCAM a success. Their investment philosophy, one that has given them the opportunity for a 13% return over the past year (vs. the S&P's 2-3% return), is brought to light for readers through solid examples and a light narrative style, similar to the writing in their lauded "Exclusive Outlook" newsletter and monthly columns within the California press., The Entrepreneurial Investor will inspire you to treat investing like a business and to think of yourself as an owner. Through solid examples and a light narrative, Paul Orfalea skillfully explores the essence of the entrepreneurial investor, which includes balancing the art and science of this discipline, and viewing investing itself as a business. Along the way, he also examines how the elements of focus, opportunism, and involvement can improve your overall investment results., Approaching investments the same way a businessperson might think of their business, this work discusses the emergence of the "entrepreneurial investor--how to think like an owner, decipher what companies are worth owning, and how to be an investor with an eye toward the longterm., The Entrepreneurial Investor will inspire you to treat investing like a business and to think of yourself as an owner., The Entrepreneurial INVESTOR Paul Orfalea is a revolutionary entrepreneur widely renowned for his success in growing Kinkos from a single copy shop to an industry leader with 1,100 branches worldwide. Less well known is his long history of successful investing, which dates back to his early teens, when Orfalea would skip school to spend afternoons at the office of his fathers stockbroker. In 2000, Orfalea and Lance Helfert cofounded West Coast Asset Management (WCAM) on the same principles of value investing that Warren Buffett used to become one of the worlds greatest investors. Now, in The Entrepreneurial Investor , Orfalea along with Lance Helfert, Atticus Lowe, and Dean Zatkowsky reveal how you can use their version of this approach to achieve unparalleled success in your everyday investment endeavors. Through solid examples and a light narrative, Orfalea and company skillfully explore the essence of the entrepreneurial investor, which includes balancing the art and science of this discipline, and viewing investing itself as a business. Along the way, they also examine how the elements of focus, opportunism, and involvement can improve your overall investment results. Divided into four comprehensive parts, this reliable resource will put you in a better position to make profitable investment decisions. Some of the issues addressed include: Think like an Owner: The Art of the Entrepreneurial Investor covers WCAMs investing philosophy and some of the context and chatter that can cloud ones thinking. Companies Worth Owning discusses the heart of entrepreneurial investing choosing to invest in individual companies rather than in mutual funds or "the market". The Owners Manual highlights some of the important information available to investors from the advice shouted on television to annual reports, financial statements, and the ever-ambiguous subject of inventory. Whats It Worth to Me distinguishes investing from speculating and helps you understand the actual value of a company, so you can act when the price is low enough for buying or high enough for selling. Filled with in-depth insights and practical advice, The Entrepreneurial Investor will inspire you to treat investing like a business and to think of yourself as an owner. Once you realize that making money is your business, youll be a better investor for it.
