Quality Value Investing (QVI) by David J. Waldron, contributing editor, private investor, nonfiction book author, and former expert advisor to Wall Street hedge funds, mutual funds, private equity, and investment banks.
In its quest to achieve alpha through fundamental valuation, the QVI newsletter employs a proprietary, checklist-driven premium analysis to identify winning stocks of enduring enterprises.
QVI’s mission inspires subscribers to build portfolios of shares in high-quality companies purchased at value prices to fund life’s essential milestones, such as buying a home, paying college tuition, sponsoring a wedding, pursuing a passion, starting a business, or enjoying a comfortable retirement.
Quality Value Investing’s premium subscribers benefit from high-conviction, alpha-achieving Lifetime or Annual plans, including a 7-day free trial.
Subscriber Bonuses
Subscribers choosing the Founding Lifetime plan are eligible for a complimentary personalized case laminated hardcover edition of David’s international-selling book, Build Wealth with Common Stocks. Plus, an author-personized free copy of his upcoming book, Quality Value Investing: Uncover Winning Stocks of Enduring Companies, when it releases in September of 2026.
Investing advice is fairly commonplace, but here the author shares his own unique investment wisdom that readers will not find elsewhere.

As a second bonus for their upfront generosity, Founding Lifetime subscribers receive a permanent complimentary subscription to Quality Value Investing on Substack Finance for the life of the service after their first paid year (no renewal required).
Sample Unlocked, Full-Text Popular QVI Premium Posts
The posts below represent the newsletter’s three subject matter categories, making them excellent trial options for free subscribers and new readers contemplating an upgrade to a premium annual or Founding Lifetime subscription to Quality Value Investing.
Why Pay for a Subscription?
QVI is a premium newsletter for private and professional investors
Paying subscribers—Founding Lifetime and Annual Premium—benefit from full-text access to the research reports, stock picks, and narrative posts.
Lifetime and Premium subscribers can also access audio voiceovers of each new post and recently published archives.
However, please note that a free subscription to QVI is limited to previews and does not include access to the alpha-achieving QVI Stock Picks and ratings.
In addition, the Monthly premium plan ($37) is intentionally 33% more than the monthly cost of the annual subscription to discourage subscribers from opting for a short-term subscription to the newsletter. QVI focuses solely on long-term, buy-and-hold, alpha-achieving investing without the need for unproductive trade alerts, useless price targets, hit-or-miss quarterly earnings projections, or any fee-generating, fast money tactics that often fail investors.
Price is what we pay, and value is what we get. The best QVI values are in the Lifetime ($997) and Annual ($297) plans.
Why Quality Value Investing?
Hello, I’m David J. Waldron, the founder and contributing editor of Quality Value Investing. My work has been featured on Seeking Alpha, TalkMarkets, ValueWalk, MSN Money, Yahoo Finance, Insider Monkey, Finviz, The Acquirer’s Multiple, Capital Employed, QAV (Australia’s #1 Value Investing Podcast), Money Life with Chuck Jaffe, Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, the BookLife Prize, and Publisher’s Weekly.
The style of the QVI newsletter narrative content comes from this Pulitzer Prize-winning writer’s quote:
Don't try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say. It's the one and only thing you have to offer.
—Barbara Kingsolver, American novelist, essayist, and poet
For some background, around 2008, I shifted to bottom-up, quality-driven, value-focused investing after struggling as a top-down growth investor for several years.
By studying the guiding principles of legendary investors Warren Buffett, Benjamin Graham, Peter Lynch, Howard Marks, and Charlie Munger, I started selecting stocks based on their collective wisdom, which became the foundation of Quality Value Investing.
Since my investor reinvention 18 years ago, the QVI Stock Picks, including the holdings in our family’s concentrated portfolio of predominantly dividend-paying common shares in high-quality companies, have outperformed the S&P 500 on an equal-weighted, per-holding basis over the same periods. I was fortunate to discover firsthand how quality-focused, value-driven investing endures through all market cycles.
With a subscription to Quality Value Investing, you can invest alongside me in our mutual quest for alpha by using a rational, disciplined, and patient approach to stock market investing.
Build and Maintain Your Portfolio with QVI
My checklist strategy to stock picking generates an actionable investment thesis that summarizes why I rate the company and its stock as a buy, hold, or sell.
My proprietary research reports examine the company’s current wealth, including its value proposition, returns on management, and enterprise downside risks, as well as the stock’s present value, comprising shareholder yields, valuation multiples, and share price downside risks. The investment thesis summarizes each metric.
And you won’t have to worry about missing anything. Every new edition of the newsletter goes directly to your inbox.
