Hey Justa...

Forbes is writing about you! 8)

You simply sweep your whole pile of chips into old-economy stocks, then puff on a cigar and wait out the coming convergence of valuations. Pass the hours profitably by writing a book about your strategy: Arbitrage for Dummies.

Key comment:

"That's one very big and undodgeable problem for value hounds. You can search hither and yon for value, but just when you think you've located one, you'll discover that an army of venture capitalists and ex-Wharton terrorists got there first--only to rip the guts out of whatever profit model lay behind the "value."

Perhaps best explains why old companies just seem to hang around with a p/e of 10?

Obviously written for effect, but the message is clear. (and interesting, eh?)
