Mike,

Re: Buffet market power
In an effort to gauge market power, I also use high ROE screens. (Current ROE must be above industry average _or_ greater than 15%.) I also use high ROE is also a reflection of good management.

I still think the most tenuous portion of the Buffet method as described in the Buffetology book is projecting Equity/share growth over long periods. I don't have enough years of data to backtest, but I think there must be some caveats to this.

Thanks for mentioning BMC. I haven't looked into it before.

Shane

Hi. U.S. market rose this past week, despite the largest sneaker maker and largest toy retailer each warning of disappointing earnings, despite a huge merger falling through, and despite interest rates rising each day.

If this keeps up, you'll have to rename this thread "Value Investing (Relatively Speaking)"

Good Investing

P.S. Back in Dec moved a bunch of my portfolio into precious metals plays, especially the "Eternal Short."
