Shane: His relative strength then would be in conjunction with "outstanding price performance" (O'Shaughnessey), plus high earnings in current year as well as in 1 year projected. Examples: BBY, DY and AVID (per his 9/98 fund holdings). I read your initial post to mean that you would not buy a value stock that was declining until you saw a surcease (which would be indicated by the fact it's starting to go up.) In other words, I figured you were saying, "I ain't going to buy the thing until I see that it's not going down any more." If that is so, I am responding that that such a buy criterion has no academic/empirical basis to support it. Although it does seem make a heck of a lot of sense in this kind of market =g=.
