Praxis
I agree that Buffet was probably a value investor, especially since everyone says he is/was. As of today, he appears to be a combination of growth and value, since everyone agrees that KO is not a value stock, and it is a substantial part of his portfolio. (I am not saying that KO is not a potentially undervalued stock, just not a value stock.)
My value stock ideals are Price, Dreman, and Graham.
As far as my misinterpretation of your comments go, I was trying to interpret them in the context of my screening strategy. Ron Bower offered a solid criticism my strategy, and I assumed you were offering a follow-up critique. If so, then I may have missed your point, because even though earnings growth is the eventual driver behind stock price, I do not see the necessity of adding in PE/(predicted growth rate)into a value screen.
Thanks MC
