An investor can make a profit on his investment only if he uses his financial knowledge properly. While it is important to know how to check if a stock price is below its intrinsic value, the investor may require some knowledge of investment strategies including practical foresight to make a profit.

These strategies will also help the investor to develop an eye for evaluating the value of a stock before buying it.
