About Extreme Value

Extreme Value analyst Dan Ferris’ strategy of buying low-risk, cheap stocks – only when the price is right – has earned him one of the most impressive track records in the industry. In fact, many well-known money managers follow Dan’s recommendations. His work has even been covered extensively in Barron’s.

Why does Dan have such a great track record? Because he spends hundreds of hours each month poring over balance sheets and SEC filings to find stocks trading at huge discounts to their true worth – giving his readers a large margin of safety.

Not only are Extreme Value stocks low-risk, they are also one of the most profitable ways to invest. A 27-year study by two University of Chicago professors (one of whom was nominated for a Nobel Prize) proved the Extreme Value strategy trounced the overall market.

Since Extreme Value launched in 2002, Dan’s readers have had the opportunity to make incredible gains in low-risk stocks, including 198% in Alexander & Baldwin... 248% on International Royalty... 117% on Encana... 104% on Portfolio Recovery Associates... and 142% on Icahn Enterprises.

Extreme Value uses a classic value-investing philosophy to help you make some of the biggest gains you’ll ever find in the stock market.

About The Editor

Dan Ferris is the editor of Extreme Value, a monthly investment advisory that focuses on some of the lowest-risk and yet most profitable stocks in the market. Dan joined Stansberry Research in 2000. He became editor of Extreme Value in 2002. His strategy of finding low-risk, cheap, and profitable stocks has earned him a loyal following – as well as one of the most impressive track records in the industry.

Dan's track record, candid voice, and deep research are why Extreme Value counts more than 20 major financial firms and well-known fund managers as subscribers.

As a result of his work in Extreme Value, Dan has appeared on Money with Melissa Francis and The Willis Report on Fox Business News, as well as The Street with Paul Bagnell on Business News Network. He has also been featured several times in Barron's, and numerous financial radio programs around the country.

Why Subscribe to Extreme Value?

Over the past few years, Dan’s recommended 21 different opportunities to see triple digit gains, like 248% on International Royalty and as high as 564% on Automatic Data Processing(ADP).

But to his followers – what matters is the way he's done it: With a Buffett-like discipline rarely seen in modern investing, based on ultra-rigorous analysis and an obsession with minimizing risk.

Over two decades, he's earned a reputation for identifying the world's most elite and enduring businesses and ignoring 99% of investment opportunities, which he considers worthless – or even dangerous.

Dan doesn't churn out multiple recommendations every month. His philosophy doesn't work that way. Dan is the master of patiently waiting for the perfect opportunity.

While other publishers might feel pressured to make up a new recommendation every day or week, you can rest assured that every single recommendation Dan makes has his full conviction. He doesn't recommend anything that doesn't have a glaringly obvious margin of safety.

He's found these triple-digit opportunities while consistently predicting and avoiding the biggest risks in the markets over the past 20 years.

  • He predicted the financial crisis in April of 2008 – and recommended shorting Lehman Brothers five months before it went bankrupt, for a near-perfect 82% return in just five months.
  • He warned followers to sell risky stocks and raise plenty of cash before a 19.3% market decline in 2011... and again in 2015, when the market notched its first negative return since the financial crisis.

Over the past several years, he's issued a series of dead-accurate predictions about tremendous risks in this market.

In December 2017, he said Bitcoin could quickly fall by as much as 90%. In fact, it plummeted by 80% over the next year.

In July 2018, he warned that Facebook could fall by 50% in a matter of months. It went on to fall by 43% from July to December.

Dan's able to make calls like this because of endless hours of research, determining the intrinsic value of individual businesses versus their market value. When Dan spots an anomaly in the market, a company that is trading for way below their intrinsic value, he pounds the table and lets his subscribers know.

 

What readers are saying

“Thank you for your fantastic work on the show and in your Extreme Value newsletter. For anyone considering Mr. Ferris' newsletter, it is well worth the investment....and then some. So thank you, Mr. Ferris and team for your phenomenal work... I may be an anomaly for my age group (23 years old) but I would be WAY more excited to bump into you in person rather than any celebrity most 23 year olds idolize. Mr, Ferris - you are a rockstar!” – C.J.

“Dan Ferris is a great thinker in the vein of the best philosophers throughout the ages, who also happens to be an excellent stock analyst. I believe the first quality can improve the second, but not always vice-versa. I've read many great essays from anthologies covering writers from the last 2000+ years, and Dan's piece on Gold and Being Human belongs right amongst them. It's no coincidence that he's also a great and frequent recommender of excellent books - also a rare and precious commodity these days. Thanks to a writer who inspires and piques my imagination for digging deep for the many layers of the meanings of gold.” - Gary S.

With readers regularly seeing double- and triple-digit returns within the first 12 months of a new recommendation, we think that at $2,000 per year, Extreme Value is one of the best values anywhere in the newsletter industry.
