dc.description.abstract | My interest in shares investment was kindled during a period that I spend
working in the United States of America. Most of my acquaintances held
diversified portfolios and I had all kinds of questions as I attempted to
understand the world of shares investment. When the opportunity arose for
me to do a dissertation based in Financial Management and specifically
directed at shares investment I jumped at the chance.
This dissertation is therefore much more than just the final requirement in
completion of my MBA - it is the fulfilment of a deep desire to understand
something of the world where the creation of wealth has so many aspects
and intriguing facets. I would like to think that this work will contribute, if only
even at the smallest scale, to assisting private investors in the process of
identifying good investments.
The theoretical research was done with a specific goal in mind - to
~~nderstanthde process of wealth creation within organizations because it is
within the organization that the whole process begins after all. A principle of
Warren Buffet that seems to stand out in most of the work written about his
investment prowess is that the investor should know the company that an
investment is planned in. Conceptual understanding of valuation of
organizations is thus paramount.
The empirical part of the study led ultimately to the realisation that investment
in shares is hard work and that the successful investors are those that can
apply the tools of the trade in a disciplined fashion. My wish is that the "new
analysis model" proposed in this dissertation, can be a useful tool in the
toolkit of the private shares investor. | |
