    Exploring Joel Greenblatt’s Magic Formula for Picking Value Stocks [view article]
    The www.magicformulafunds..../ site says "MagicFormulaInve... while looking great and easy, is simply not accurate. Professor Greenblatt’s back tests provided accurate results, however, the person responsible for maintaining the website simply isn’t doing it right.Stocks that should be ranked 356 or 253 are showing up in the top 30 as the website doesn’t use an accurate data source. "

    Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News [view article]
    "Take that, Google. A Yahoo-less Microsoft (MSFT) has a new search-ad trick up its sleeve: cash rebates for products found through Microsoft's live.com. "Live Search cashback" will get you percentage-based rebates deposited directly to your bank account, PayPal (EBAY) account, or by check. Participating vendors include Canon (CAJ), Barnes & Noble (BKS), Circuit City (CC) and Home Depot (HD)."

    Promoting an inferior product with cash rebates never works.

    I've been using Juno because it's cheap,
    but the service is crappy with frequent disconnects.

    I'm ready to go to DSL, I can't believe dial up has a future.

    classmates.com has a complaint list a mile long:

    www.consumeraffairs.co...

    They apparently execute standard scams--trick people into signing up for free trials, then make it difficult or impossible to cancel, and create automatic monthly charge to credit card; no way to contact the company about problems; automatic monthly charges that continue indefinitely after cancellation, and on and on. (None of this has happened to me, personally, as I would never do a free trial after what I read.) If this is how they treat the customers, why should I believe the shareholders will be treated any better?

    Exploring Joel Greenblatt’s Magic Formula for Picking Value Stocks [view article]
    I have followed Joel Greenblatt for a few years. His first book, "How to Become a Stock Market Genius", was by far most informative than the "Magic Formula" (corney title but good book). Arn't we all looking for good companies at a cheap price? Isn't that the name of the game?
    I have developed a similar screen that I use to sort these companies out. It focuses on FCF to EV and adds growth as a factor. Value is created by the ROIC being higher than the cost of capital. I also look for stocks with EBITDA margins either high (and likely to stay there) or improving.
    There are a few others, but that is the jest of it. Good hunting!
