As a dedicated value investor, I'm always on the lookout for well managed companies with a strong product and solid fundamentals that have temporary problems that knocked its stock price down. By focusing on the long term outlook, you can find great stocks at deeply discounted prices for reasons that may no longer apply come next quarter.

Investors often suffer from home-team syndrome. US investors are particularly guilty of looking at only the stocks located in their home markets and ignoring the rest of the world.

The truth is that while something on the order of 11,000 stocks trade here in the United States, shares of more than 50,000 companies trade around the world. More than 1,800 companies trade on one of the various US exchanges, giving us unprecedented access to foreign securities.
