Jeffrey, I'm hoping that the passing of yearend tax selling will bode better for conventional and value stocks.

I'm going by what I understand to be a Grahamian assumption, that value will out, we don't have to consider the trigger event. Given a diversified portfolio of properly selected stocks, enough will increase to provide a reasonable profit. (My interpretation of Graham's work.) I'm just not sure about "properly selected" (although I'm selecting a bunch -g-). And "reasonable profit" -- that's from a guy who came up investing through the depression - and I take it to mean a few percentage points over T-bond.

I'm still picking and adding what I consider value stocks from the daily new lows list.

Paul

Jeffrey, very close on CTX myself. Big insider buying in a general builder that's more diversified than just the big homebuilders.

Of course I still like HRC, as I see the hospitals and health facilities learning better management techniques and coming out of the funk put to them by the gov'ts shock treatment and insurance fraud by the HMOs.
