Hello all!
I'm relatively new to investing as I'm building a portfolio of dividend growth stocks for about a year now. I'm currently 22 so I have plenty of time left for my portfolio to grow in value and receive a lot of delicious (growing) dividends.
I started my investing journey with the book called 'The Single best Investment' (actually I have read it twice already) and various other books (Common stock and Uncommon profits, The little book of Dividends, Dividend investing for Dummies, Ultimate Dividend Playbook are some of them as I have read more books on investing).
My portfolio exists of 10 stocks at the moment. The problem that I (still) have is deciding what is a good price for a company and when to buy. I know there are various methods for valuing a company, like discounted cash flow analysis, use of the dividend growth model, and a lot of other ratio's that one can use.
Which valuing technique do you use and how did you learn it?
