Rob Mahan: Deep Value Investing in Eastern Europe

This week we chat with Rob Mahan. Rob's a part-time investor and founder of DeepValueInvestments.wordpress.com. Rob's blog is dedicated to finding massively discounted stocks from every part of the world. His findings take him through Eastern Europe, Asia, and all across the market cap spectrum.  Rob is a traditional deep value investor. He seeks businesses trading <6x earnings with double digit yields. To him, anything over 10x earnings is expensive. So far his strategy has worked. Since 2008, Rob has generated a 20% CAGR, crushing any All World Index.  We spent an hour discussing:  How Rob started investing Rob's current investment strategy  Where he finds ideas How Rob screens for companies War stories from investing in emerging markets Investing in Chinese banana company frauds Searching the world for deep value If you like what you heard, give Rob a follow @DeepValueInvestments.
