Comment on Loan debt vs Investment equity – Which is the better one? by Bob at Best Investment

Investors like Warren Buffet often combine the features of debt and equity investing. He'll loan a company money at a favorable rate of interest, but also get the option to convert this debt into company stock, if he chooses. He collects the interest, and has collateral to guarantee payment. If the business improves, and the stock price goes up, Buffet makes even more money by swapping the debt for stock. Great way to go, if you can swing it. Ordinary investors do something similar when they buy convertible bonds. See Best Investment

Comment on Loan debt vs Investment equity – Which is the better one? by The New Value Investor

I think there is a time and a place for debt and a time and a place for equity. I agree completely with your assessment on loaning money to family or friends- in reality, you should just give the money, or if it is a particularly big loan (offering a private mortgage on a property, for example) have all the loan terms written in an iron clad agreement so that nobody is unpleasantly surprised for the duration of the loan.

That being said, when considering investments, sometimes it is better to buy the debt of a company for the express purpose of taking it over when they default on their debt. In that case, being an equity holder is a perilous position indeed! This sort of loan-to-own strategy doesn’t always work but it can be an effective tool in one’s repertoire. I hope to touch on precisely that strategy a bit in my upcoming article on Monday.

Warm regards

Comment on What This Value Investor Has Been Up To by james moylan

I have a web site where I research penny stocks and stocks under ten dollars. I am a astute value investor. I don’t know if a lot of investors are aware of this but warren buffett has stated many times that the type of stocks that berkshire hathaway invests in today will not diliver the same kinds of returns that berkshire hathaway dilivered when the holding company was very small the reason for this is because berkshire hathaway has tens of billions of dollars to invest it is limited to large cap and mega cap stocks large cap and mega cap stocks do not generally produce very large returns unlike small and mid cap stocks stocks that were far more numerous in the berkshire hathaway portfolio in years past.

I have a web site where I research penny stocks and stocks under ten dollars. I am a astute value investor. I would like to comment about value investing I think value investing is the safest way to invest in the stock market. when buying undervalued stocks you have the advantage of knowing for the most part that your stocks are aways worth considerable more than what they are trading for.
