That is a perfect question. Margin of safety is one of the success methods used by prominent investors. It may not work in short run, but backtesting simulations suggest that it works well in long run.

I hear this a lot. TOT is great but France takes 25%. Do they tax only individual investors or corporate investors as well? That is very important. I was wondering what will happen if you sell your stock right before the dividend date?

Read my comments above. Check your data. Run the test yourself. Do not trust a website. If you do not know how to use STATA, SAS or MATLAB, try EXCEL. Install Statplus (My 1st year students know how to do it, so I believe you can do it as well)

Thank you for the lecture. That is very nice of you. I will spend some time to teach our interesting conversation to my 200 students :)
At one point I really though that I was wrong. I was wondering how you calculated the correlation between oil prices and KLP. Apparently your data is not that reliable. I did the same, but instead of using an ETF, I used the data from a much reliable source : www.eia.doe.gov/ Instead of using only two years of data, I used 20 years of data. Here is the Pearson correlation coefficient:
Pearson Correlations Retail Gas KLP Retail Gas 1.000 0.856 KLP 0.856 1.000
As you repeat " I repeat, check your facts BEFORE pontificating your opinions"
I would be happy if you give us a guest lecture on Economics or Finance or Statistics or Investing. I am sure my students will learn a lot of things from you :)

Sorry, I could not explain myself. I wanted to say that their stock prices are correlated with oil prices. The reason is that they get a more-or-less stable share from their revenues. A higher oil price will be better for most oil and gas stocks whether they are commodity stock or a pipeline company.

" ... Most of them are at least thinking about emigrating, and if Erdogan goes too far, many of them will–and the country’s economy will collapse."
I am an assistant professor of Economics and nobody is planning to emigrate from the country. This year, we decided to open a junior position and have received over 30 applications from top American and European universities. Everybody is aware of the Turkish Economy's striking performance and they want to get a share of it. In fact I plan quit my job in soon future (which pays American standard) and start my own business because I see a brilliant future for my country. The foreigners are reducing the stock prices because they are looking for an opportunity to buy the shares we have. Turkish stock market is very much undervalued and it will make a rally on March and April. Industrial and service giants such as Turkish Telecom and Ford Turkey posted record profits.

Mid East governments are more likely to get socialist and nationalist. The entire revolution is a proletarian movement against the current capitalist structure. I wish the oil was back to $30, but it seems more reasonable to wish that it will stay at $100.
