# Value Hides In Plain Sight: Understanding Hidden Assets And How To Find Them

Over the years, one of our favorite methods of uncovering intrinsically undervalued stocks is by using the “hidden asset method.” The reason we like this method so much is because no computer screen in the world (at least for the foreseeable future) will replace it.

*“Hidden assets” can only be found through curiosity, patience, reading and old-fashioned elbow grease.*
