There is a simple but powerful idea that has greatly helped legendary investors like Warren Buffett succeed in the market... and many investors have never considered it.

It's the idea of valuing a stock as a private business owner would. And the overwhelming majority of investors would make a lot more money – and lose a lot less – if they learned to approach stocks this way.

To learn more about this idea, The Daily Crux spoke with Dan Ferris, editor of Stansberry & Associates' The 12% Letter and Extreme Value newsletters and one of the best value investors around.

In this exclusive interview, Dan explains how this idea differs from the way most investors think... offers the benefits of approaching investing this way... and shows how to identify and value great businesses.

If you're interested in making more money from stocks with less effort – and sleeping soundly at night while you do – this idea is for you.
