As requested by a stingy reader, I will post monthly stock picks based on Benjamin Graham stock screener criteria.
Here is the stock screen criteria used:
- P/E Ratio < 15
- P/B Ratio < 1.5
- Book Value > 0.01
- Current Ratio > 2
- Annual EPS Growth (5-yr avg) > 3%
- 5-Year Dividend Grwoth > 0%
- 5-Year P/E Low > 0.01
- 1-Year Revenue > $400 Million
Here are the results:
OSG - Overseas Shipholding Group Inc.
BL - Blair Corporation
SUHJY - Sun Hung Kai Properties Ltd
ROCK - Gibralter Industries Inc.
This screen can be EASILY replicated using MSN’s free stock sceener. The Graham strategy is to purchase deeply discounted strong companies but sell them when you reach a 50% profit or by the end of the year.
Be wary though, no matter what stocks that a stock screener spits out, you need to do your own due diligence on the companies before purchasing.
Happy Investing!
Be Wise… and Be Stingy..
