The Well-Informed Trader: B. Graham's Checklist for Defensive Investing

The legendary Benjamin Graham provided the following checklist for Defensive Investing - Every yes gets one point, and 8 or better is a good defensive investment for a bear market.

Sales greater than $100 million
Current Ratio 2:1 or better
Shareholder's equity greater than liabilities
Earnings growth of 10% for at least 5 years
uninterrupted dividends for 15 years
P/E less than 15
Current Price less than 1.5 times book value
S&P Ratio of A- or better

Let me know if you run across any stock that meets these criteria...first quarter 98 is starting to look a little spooky right now.
