    After Big Market Declines, Value Does Best [view article]
    Both Ford and TWX look attractive, at least on various measures of valuation, expectations, and growth. My models rank them both as strong buys. Micron, however, looks less appealing, since its earnings-based valuation and earnings growth look poor - I would hold off on it. Of course, my strategy is built upon portfolio construction, owning many stocks with attractive characteristics, and less on individual stock selection. Sorry for the belated reply. Reply

    After Big Market Declines, Value Does Best [view article]
    I have certain stocks that fall in the deep value area. I think there has to be a catalyst that will ignite an interest in them. My three are Ford, Time Warner, and Micron. I feel that all three are poised for a great 08.
    If Ford is taking production off line. Should help the supply and demand side. TWX is reporting with a new CEO in Feb. Has 5 units ready to explode. Micron is so leveraged to any tech growth at all. The slightest hint that global growth will continue should propel that up quickly. Any thoughts?     Reply

    U.S. Index and Style ETFs Currently Oversold [view article]
    The bottom of a waterfall is more than one standard deviation lower than the top.

    Just because something is "oversold" doesn't mean it won't go down more.     Reply

    Value Investors Riding a Hard Patch of Road [view article]
    Mike, I don't think this is about an investment style being temporarily "out of fashion". Rather, the stocks that looked to you as though they were value stocks weren't really value stocks, because their earnings prospects were worse than you assumed.

    The remarkable thing about value stocks is the way the market has swung in such a short time. Only recently, tons of capital was swashing around, causing private equity funds to buy companies and pushing other companies to increase their leverage at the cost of free cash flow. Now companies -- particularly financials -- are being forced to shore up their balance sheets by raising more capital.

    We now know that the "easy money" wasn't really so "easy", as the credit pyramid was rotten at its base. And the earnings projections that were based on that easy money weren't real earnings.

    Surely that's why your value stocks weren't really value stocks.

    But is value investing out of style? Look at BRKA's stock price for an answer to that question.     Reply

    I am obliged by this amount of work and surprised by its result.
    During my investigations within the total ETF's of Dutch AEX index the following could be ascertained :
    During eight years the annual and preselected stocks of that AEX delivered together a Bèta of 0,62 and an Alpha of >9%

    roncohen,

    Actually the clickable images are 560 pixels wide. Some browsers reduce large images (they are quite tall) and if you put your mouse over certain parts of the image you get an enlargement icon that allows you to see them it full. They are actually quite large and easy to read.

    Mary, I have reported this issue to SeekingAlpha, but need more information to potentially help you. What are you using MAC or PC? That can make a diifferent sometimes. This was done on PC and unfortunately I have MACS, but not at my curren tlocation (on vacation). Just tested SeekingAlpha and my blog and the images open as intended on PC.

    There may be (1) a cross-platform file compatability issue, (2) a temporary internet glitch that may not be a problem if you try again now, or (3) some kind of operator error.

    If you try again and it fails, email me and I will send you the image files as attachments:
