I've been a fan of p/s ever since reading O'Shaughnessy's books. Of course, he favored combining low p/s with price momentum. This combination eliminates eternally low p/s businesses unless the price has been moving up. (As we've learned over time here, most value investors can't buy stocks with price momentum even while holding their nose.)

I like p/s because revenues are less fudged than earnings. Also, as your comment below indicates, far fewer investors are looking at p/s.

>In my opinion, in eliminating annual p/sales and book value/sh, they are saying these figures are not as important to their readers as other metrics which they substituted.
