• Includes detailed discussions of competitive advantage, purchase value, return on invested capital, and debt levels

The 52-Week Low Formula is a must-read for investors and financial advisors who want to break through conventional strategies and avoid common mistakes.

LUKE L. WILEY, CFP^(R), CRPC, is the Senior Vice President of Wiley Wealth Management at UBS Financial Services in Cincinnati, Ohio. In 2012, he was among the top ten of the 7,000 UBS Financial Advisors in client retention and acquisition and has been called upon to provide strategic guidance for other wealth managers, financial planners, and investment managers by UBS management. His investment strategy and approach to life was defined by 17^th century German mathematician Carl Gustav Jacob Jacobi who once wrote, "Invert, always invert." By solving for the opposite of your intended result, non-traditional paths to success reveal themselves. The idea of finding attractive investment opportunities within the 52-Week Low lists came about from Wiley reading a book that sells used for about $1,400 written by Seth Klarman, Margin of Safety-Risk-Averse Value Investing Strategies for the Thoughtful Investor.
