The conventional approach to equity investing relies on flawed theories, inadequate frameworks and suboptimal processes. Investors are being set up for failure. To succeed, investors must create an independent investment system. A system built on a solid framework and a proven strategy. The book enables investors to take their first steps toward developing this investment system.


James' investment system begins by replacing the suboptimal buy and hold approach with his dynamic Value in Trends (ViT) framework. He then implements a value stock strategy, which cuts through the noise by screening for companies based on only two fundamental factors. This backtested strategy has delivered returns of 26.9% compounded annually since 2001 compared with 2.6% for the S&P500.
This system is created through The Brooks Way 4D investment approach.
