First of all, I apologize for the lack of posts. I have been very busy recently and hope to write a bit more in the coming week.

I have been listening to the ValueLine Obersver by the Value Guys. They are Wall Street analysts with 25 years experience each. Each week on Friday they release a new podcast which reviews various stocks that are found in the Value Line Investment Survey.

The duo use a combination of fundamental analysis, growth prospects and valuation methodology to review stocks that they are interested in from the newsletter. They typically discuss valuation from a multiples perspective, using EBITDA and free cash flow more often than earnings.

Their podcast is definitely not the most exciting podcast on the block to listen to (don’t expect any Mad Money-style sound effects here), and you have to adjust to their extremely dry humor. Nonetheless, these podcasters provdie you with some expert opinons for free and their analysis is relatively insightful. You won’t get too excited by their stock picks either, but if you’re into value investing then that shouldn’t matter.

With shows running around 30 minutes, I think the Value Line Observer is worth listening to if you have some spare time, although I wouldn’t call it a ‘must listen podcast’. Check one out for yourself next time you’re on your way to work.
