1-2 mins Find SI and look at key numbers, chart

10-15 mins Find latest AR and also 5 years ago AR and read the financial statement

1 - 2 hours Read chairman statements, read shareholder statistics, read VB.com

By now, this one stock will be under my watchlist, waiting for me to jump in.
[*]How do you screen for suitable stocks?
I don't screen for suitable stocks, I screen out those not suitable stocks.
I learn from a ValueBuddies saying: go for 1 foot pole instead of trying to clear 7 foot pole.
[*]Do value investors actually use DCF to value a stock / value to arrive at its intrinsic value?
What is this?
To me it's the same as WB's Rule No. 1 and Rule No. 2. And yes "K too Ho my "KK". i can tell you it's very difficult to "K too Ho, my "KK".
My 2 cents.
if you only have 10 mins to read AR:

NLB and Internet are my university - for people like me who is not supposed to know anything about investment. And anywhere that i can learn - like here.
My 2 cents.
To add, li kashing also mentioned about being exposed to new things. Never be too comfortable doing the same thing everyday. Each person met is an opportunity to learn what he knows that you do not know.
If one has been used to the same routine, do things differently and try new things.
When younger i tended to avoid gathering. Social gatherings are good opportunities to meet and learn from new people. It need not be for business that very moment, but you know if and when opportunities arise. Chinese saying goes "jing shui lou tai xian de yue". Be open to ideas and therefore the forefront of opportunities.
And you are right. Reading is a very good way to broaden and deepen our understanding of the markets. Its also a good way to learn the 8th wonder of the world.... That is the follies of mankind. Where we are able to learn and appreciate this 8th wonder, we also will be better able to avoid the 9th wonder (no prizes for guessing whats the 9th) which is the constant repeat of the 8th wonder from time to time.

Hi all, dedicated my first post to this question in value investing.
Keeping overall fees (brokerage fees, clearing fee, trading fee) low is one of my goals when investing. I am trying to understand, with my limited knowledge, how does one keep it low with DCA (aside from going to the firm with the lowest fees)? Do you guys put in thousands of dollars every month so that you can make the fees more justifiable? My impression of DCA is for poor man like me that can only afford hundreds.. And if we talk about hundreds, these fees will add up like an estimated of 30$ per month.
