DESCRIPTION:

Date updated:08-01-2007

What I look for: Low PEG, 15%+ Return on Assets, Debt to Equity ratio less than 1. Past growth, and predicted long-term growth greater than 12% annually. 5 years consecutive improving earnings. Limited cyclical exposure.

Purchase price determined by considering conservative growth rate in relation to historic average and 25th percentile PE ratios for the stock. It is complicated, and highly quantitative, which eliminates emotion.

Now, there is VERY LITTLE out there that is a bargain. Most of my positions are old-timers, bought when the pickings were better.
