Important Notes

  1. Screening Limitations: These screens use quantitative criteria only. Qualitative factors (management, competitive position, industry trends) require further research.
  2. International Stocks: KSPI (Kazakhstan), ITUB/PBR (Brazil) carry currency and geopolitical risks.
  3. Value Traps: Cheap stocks can remain cheap. Verify business fundamentals before investing.
  4. Diversification: Graham recommended 10-20 positions minimum for defensive investors.
  5. Margin of Safety: Always buy at a discount to intrinsic value. Current market may offer 20-33% discounts on quality names.

Graham's Wisdom Applied

"The intelligent investor is a realist who sells to optimists and buys from pessimists."

"In the short run, the market is a voting machine. In the long run, it is a weighing machine."
