re Greenblatt book. give it a read - for one thing it's s a short read so you will not waste much time either way. There is also a website that has a screener which sometimes gives good leads: magicformuainvesting.com The most enlightening thing I learned from this is to look at leverage adjusted metrics. This would be the way an acquirer would look at an particular company too. PE is not a leverage adjusted metric but pretax earnings/ Enterprise value or EV/EBITDA is. I look at these metrics often when looking at a particular stock or compare different companies in the same business line.
