In MarketBeat’s Stocks Too Cheap? Or Earnings Estimates Too Rosy? (subscription required), Matt Phillips has an interesting article on forward price-to-earnings ratios: The forward-earnings in question are really consensus forward-earnings estimates, churned out by Wall Street’s broker dealers, the so-called “sell side.” And the “sell-side” as a whole tend to be a bullish bunch.

Mebane Faber has an interesting analysis of the expected ten-year annualized real returns to investors in the various Shiller / Graham P/E10 deciles: I’ve discussed the Graham / Shiller PE10 metric before (see my April 9 post Graham’s PE10 ratio). In that article, Doug Short described the PE10 ratio thus: Legendary economist and value investor Benjamin [...]

Jason Zweig has unearthed an original typewritten text of a speech Benjamin Graham gave in San Francisco one week before John F. Kennedy was assassinated.

Following on from last week’s Japanese liquidation value: 1932 US redux post, I’ve been trying to determine whether the historical performance of Japanese sub-liquidation value stocks matches the experience in the US. The question arises because of the perception (rightly or not) that the weakness of shareholder rights in Japan means that net current asset value [...]

Update: I’ve removed SIG from the list. In Ben Graham’s Net Current Asset Values: A Performance Update Professor Henry Oppenheimer examined the return on stocks selected using Benjamin Graham’s net current asset value strategy over the period 1970 to 1983.

Specifically, readers have asked why we include property, plant and equipment in our valuation, and why we only discount it by half, as opposed to a higher figure (two-thirds, four-fifths, one-hundred percent).
