Important Notes
- Screening Limitations: These screens use quantitative criteria only. Qualitative factors (management, competitive position, industry trends) require further research.
- International Stocks: KSPI (Kazakhstan), ITUB/PBR (Brazil) carry currency and geopolitical risks.
- Value Traps: Cheap stocks can remain cheap. Verify business fundamentals before investing.
- Diversification: Graham recommended 10-20 positions minimum for defensive investors.
- 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."
- Current market offers opportunities in: REITs (VICI), international value (KSPI, ITUB), dividend aristocrats (TGT, JNJ)
"In the short run, the market is a voting machine. In the long run, it is a weighing machine."
- These screens identify stocks where price (voting) diverges from value (weighing).
