Benjamin Graham
“The individual investor should be able to justify every purchase he makes and each price he pays by impersonal, objective reasoning that satisfies him that he is getting more than his money's worth for
his purchase .”

What affects performance?
• Not return on equity• Not forecasts• Overriding is low valuations measured by P/E• Best return over 3 years is on cheap valuations
12
P/E studies
• Low P/E stocks tend to outperform• Overreaction, Under-reaction and the Low P/E
effectDreman in 1995 paper – Low P/E stocks have greater returns
• Earnings surprises affect stocks in an asymmetric manner which favours “worst” stocks.
• High P/E = overly optimistic• Low P/E = overly pessimistic
