Quality Value Investing

By David J. Waldron, contributing editor, investor, 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, Quality Value Investing (QVI) employs a proprietary checklist-driven analysis to identify the winning stocks of enduring enterprises.

QVI’s mission inspires subscribers to build portfolios of shares in 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.


Investment newsletters should cost no more than a subscription to a streaming channel. Thus, Quality Value Investing’s premium subscribers benefit from high-conviction, low-cost annual or lifetime plans, including a 7-day free trial.


Subscriber Bonuses

Subscribers choosing the Founding Premium+ plan are eligible for a complimentary personalized case laminated hardcover edition of David’s international-selling book, Build Wealth with Common Stocks.

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 Premium+ subscribers receive a permanent complimentary subscription to Quality Value Investing on Substack Finance for the life of the service after their first year (no need to renew).

Why Quality Value Investing?

Gene Hutnak Photography

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, QAV (Australia’s #1 Value Investing Podcast), Money Life with Chuck Jaffe, The Acquirer’s Multiple, Capital Employed, Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, the BookLife Prize, and Publisher’s Weekly.

The motivation that drives my writing and publishing of the QVI newsletter 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 transitioned to bottom-up, quality-driven value investing after struggling as a top-down growth investor for several years.

By modeling the guiding principles of legendary investors Warren Buffett, Benjamin Graham, Peter Lynch, Howard Marks, and Charlie Munger, I began to pick stocks based on their influential collective wisdom, which became the foundation of Quality-Value Investing.

Since my investor reinvention 17 years ago, our family’s concentrated portfolio of predominantly dividend-paying common shares of quality enterprises has outperformed the S&P 500 based on an equal-weighted average total return per holding during the same periods. I was fortunate to discover firsthand how quality-driven value investing prevails through all market cycles.

With a subscription to Quality Value Investing, you can invest alongside me in our mutual quest for stock-picking alpha by using a rational, disciplined, and patient approach to quality-driven value investing.

Build and Maintain Your Portfolio with QVI

My checklist-driven approach 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 easy-to-understand research reports examine the company’s current wealth, including its value proposition, returns on management, and enterprise downside risks, as well as its 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.
