Highly Recommended Links to Strengthen Your Valuations Skills

I have found two companies that I am going to start researching after I finish up reading Martin Whitman’s Third Avenue Funds third quarter 2012 shareholder letter posted on http://blog.ttcapitalonline.com.  I got this from following @ttcapitalmgmt on Twitter, who is someone else I would highly recommend following as I think his analysis of companies is fantastic.

How I Learnt The Power of Checklists is an article from the Financial Times which illustrates the power of checklists obviously.  You might have to sign up for a free membership to gain access to this article.  I am still working on fleshing out and writing out my checklist and hope to share it with you sometime soon.

Discounted Cash Flow Valuation of Wal-Mart 1968-2012 is another great write up from http://blog.dimitargenchev.com which is an excellent analysis and valuation of Wal-Mart from 1968 to the present.

The Paradox of Goal Setting is an article from Psych Central about why people do not realize their goals and how to combat those mistakes.
