Recently profiled in the Apr 9 Barrons Mutual Funds Edition:
"The mid-cap Hennessy Focus 30 Fund (ticker: HFTFX), for example, snagged a 9.7% first-quarter gain scouring U.S. companies with market caps from $1 billion to $10 billion for undervalued stocks -- essentially those with a price-to-sales ratio of 1.5 or less "so we pay no more than $1.50 for every dollar in sales," says Hennessy Funds president Neil Hennessy. These are then screened for earnings momentum (or rising annual profits) and relative strength over three-, six- and 12-month periods. "
"While one of the market's chief fears is the impact that lending constrictions will have on home prices and America's wealth effect -- this has sent the Consumer Discretionary Select SPDR (XLY) down 5.5% since mid-February -- Hennessy still has considerable faith in consumers' spending power. "The realities of the world haven't changed that much, even with the market correction," he says. "We still have historically low interest rates, unemployment and inflation.""
