A Registered Investment Advisor and lifelong investment professional, J. Royden Ward applies his 40 years of investment research, portfolio management, writing and publishing experience to his role as analyst and editor of Cabot Benjamin Graham Value Letter. A second-generation disciple of Benjamin Graham, Roy in 1969 pioneered the development of a computerized model that applied the formulas developed by Graham using a unique ranking system. Prior to joining Cabot in 2003, Roy directed all facets of the investment divisions for several financial planning/investment advisor organizations and successfully managed and monitored the performance of 300 individual accounts for investors using stocks, bonds and mutual funds.
The Cabot Benjamin Graham Value Letter is suitable for long-term investors seeking a guide to profitable value investing based on the time-tested systems developed by Benjamin Graham. Since the 1930s, Benjamin Graham’s timeless value investing approach achieved returns of 20% per year with low risk regardless of the market's ups and downs. Graham taught or influenced later investment gurus Warren Buffett, Mario Gabelli, John Neff, Michael Price, John Bogle—and Cabot Benjamin Graham Value Letter editor J. Royden Ward. The Letter’s system works well in all markets, seeking to buy stocks when they're cheap, and sell when they've reached full valuation, a process that takes two years for the average selection. What's important here is buying only when a stock's price is below its Maximum Buy Price, holding through thick and thin, regardless of the news or the action of the stock, and then selling when the stock reaches its Minimum Sell Price. These are great stocks for conservative stock investors to own. A subscription to Cabot Benjamin Graham Value letter includes: monthly issues with mid-month updates, special bulletins with market and stock alerts and email access to editor J. Royden Ward.
