UPDATED & EXTENDED 2ND EDITION - with a brand-new foreword by Merryn Somerset Webb

Let the market come to you

Deep Value Investing by Jeroen Bos is an incredibly candid and revealing guide to the secrets of deep value investment. Written by an investor with a long and remarkable track record, it shares for the first time the ins and outs of finding high-potential undervalued stocks before anyone else.

Deep value investing means finding companies that are genuine bargains that can pay back phenomenally over the long term. They are firms so cheap that even if they were to close tomorrow their assets would pay you out at a profit. But if they can turn things around, the rewards will be many times greater ...

These were the favourite shares of Benjamin Graham, author of The Intelligent Investor. Inspired by Graham's classic and with a long history of discovering these great value stocks - sometimes known as 'bargain issues' or 'netnets' - author and investor Jeroen Bos reveals:

- how to use only publicly available information to discover these shares and filter the gold from the dross

- everything he did when analysing, purchasing, monitoring and selling more than ten recent successful deep value investments

- the complete philosophy behind deep value investing, and the ins and outs of this strategy in practice

- what can go wrong and how to minimise the chances of it happening to you.

Deep value investing has a better track record than almost any other approach to the market. Even better, it doesn't require minute and technical knowledge of a company, nor is it fixated on earnings or often-unreliable future projections.

It's all about the balance sheet and patience. This makes it the perfect investing approach for those who want to see phenomenal stock market returns without wasting time or commission costs.

Professional Reviews

If you want to know how to make money by buying cheap companies, this book is a must." Philip Best, Argos Investment Managers

Deep Value Investing – Finding Bargain Shares with Big Potential is a well-written, hands-on book about how to extract value from investments made from a niche in the stock market. It is many years ago that Benjamin Graham came up with the thesis of buying net current asset stocks, or net-net stocks, which is to suppose that it is old fashioned and not to be done in today’s transparent markets. Jeroen Bos demonstrates that this is far from the truth. By writing a book, containing many real life examples Jeroen proves that by hard detailed work coupled with discipline it is still a vital strategy to apply today. By using examples, Jeroen not only gives the reader a better understanding of how to do this kind of low risk investing but also directly shows what to look for in identifying these net-net investments. Ole Nielsen, Nielsen Capital Management

With the publication of Deep Value Investing, J Bos has joined a very select group made up of investors turned authors turned teachers. Deep Value investing is not your average book about value investing. No generalities here, no theories, no big words. But facts, very clear principles and how to implement them example after example. This book has not been written to entertain the reader nor to make him dream about becoming rich through using some abstruse formulae or techniques. Everything in this book is easy to understand, down to earth and replicable. But at a cost: one has to work and work hard in order to put to good use Jeroen Bos' manual. One has to go after the raw materials of financial accounts and statements and dig underneath in order to, on rare occasions, be fortunate enough to pick the deeply undervalued investment opportunities. The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham remains a reference in the field, but the required reading list for value investors is now one title longer since J Bos' Deep Value Investing publication. David Pastel, Chairman and CEO, Pastel & Associés, Paris

The message from this book is that you can keep investing simple, and may be most importantly, you do not have to be a City insider, or just plain lucky. Zak Mir, Zaks Traders Cafe

...there is a lot of value in Deep Value Investing, especially today afer a period of underperformance. Michael Wassermann, Strictly Value

Very well written, easy to understand and jargon free... the book probably will help in making you a better investor, and on that basis it is definitely worth an addition to any serious investor's library. Richard Gill, T1ps

Deep Value investing is not for the faint hearted but Jeroen Bos is an expert practitioner. His book is clear, engaging and practical. It shines an expert light on this lucrative and little known investment niche. Frankly, as a fellow deep value investor looking for undiscovered bargains, I wish he hadn't done quite such a good job of it. Andrew Williamson, Hawkwood Capital LLP

I recommend it. Richard Beddard, Interactive Investor

Mr Bos has written a practical and very readable book that should appeal to those who are looking to learn more about this very particular style of investing. The examples are neatly interwoven with the lessons he has learnt over the years and the qualities required of a deep value investor. FT Adviser's Book of the Year 2013
