Undervalued Stocks Investing

Undervalued Stocks Investing
for beginners
I've spent the last 13 years of my life as an investor and a professional proprietary trader specialised in trading equity indices, single stocks and soft commodities.
I don't have an MBA or a Finance degree. In fact my background has nothing to do with finance whatsoever.
Before my finance career, I was a high profile session musician: alto saxophonist and electric guitarist performing with artists such as Rod Stewart and being a part of televised Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals. But when internet piracy changed the music industry for the worse, my performer's fees were dwindling and standard of gigs degraded. I needed a change.

Placing the first position
Stock market has always been of interest, but since I don't come from a regular finance or maths/science background, it remained just that: a curiosity.
But because of this curiousity I did start dabbling in investments back in 2007.
I remember placing my first 'trade' – it was a buy on an Intel stock. Within a few days, few hundred grew to $4,000 ‼️
"This is easy", I thought to myself.
But within the following days, the price turned around and went the other way, until my account was showing a balance of $0.
Over the new few weeks I listened to Bloomberg TV, bought a subscription to Ransquawk news service, read Financial Times and still... Lost trade after trade after trade.
"This is impossible" was my next thought.

Give it time: learn > practice > improve
Most people take the path I took initially: trying to place investments on a whim without having the first clue of what they're doing.
Trading and investing a lot like swimming or playing a musical instrument to a high level - it's a performance discipline!
To get really good at it, it requires exceptional amounts of experience, knowledge and lots of practice.
Trading well means getting in the ring with professional traders who have many moons of experience behind them.
You wouldn't expect a total beginner swimmer to get in the water to compete against someone like Michael Phelps and win a gold medal at the Olympics with only 3 months practice.
So while I can show you the right path to take in order to start doing investments, you will need to put in a lot of effort, time and yes, money before you see consistent returns.
However when you put these right steps into place, the path to success is much much shorter than someone trying to invest through undirected trial and error.

Ditch the Talking Heads
Information overload is fatal to novice investors. Since that first trade, pretty soon I stopped watching Bloomberg and cancelled my subscription to Financial Times. Those channels are nothing but journalists looking for a story.
