The market will lose track of what matters every once in a while, and that’s where the smartest investors can really take advantage of the situation and come out winners. Today, most of the market’s attention (and capital) has centered around the technology sector, betting on higher and higher runs to be made in the world of artificial intelligence and the stocks that support its growth and development.

In other words, companies that deserve to have proper backing suddenly fall into discounts for no other reason than that they are just not as popular at the moment. This is where a value investor’s toolkit comes into play.
