Excellent interview with the late Walter Schloss, a value investor. Schloss was a mentor to Warren Buffett and disciple to Benjamin Graham, the father of Security Analysis. The following link to the video is an excellent synopsis of Schloss' investing concepts. Some of things he mentions that he looks for in this video are buying companies that are out of favor, at low book value and with low debt. http://www.bengrahaminvesting.ca/resources/Video_Presentations/Guest_Speakers/2008/Schloss_2008.htm
