What factors do you consider important to the concept of value investing?
For common stocks, four factors: 1) extremely strong financial position; 2) reasonably competent management in tune to outside stockholder interests; 3) understandable business; and 4) common stock price not more than 50 percent of what we think the security would be worth with a business, a private company or a takeover candidate.
Question: What are your top five holdings?
