Investment Tip: Invest Smart by Calculating The Margin of Safety

in #money7 years ago (edited)

Concept

In Finance, the margin of safety is an investment principle in which the investor minimizes risk by buying securities only when the market price is below its intrinsic value. In an everyday example, suppose you are giving the option to buy a Toyota Corolla 2017 for a price of $14,000. According to this principle, it would be safe to buy this car as investment because its real value is at least $18,500.

Calculation

Margin of safety (safety margin) is calculated by the difference between the intrinsic value and its market price.
