Larry> If you want to play that game, lets take a look at the Valueline rating on Intel a year ago (four; below average and a price of 75), it closed Friday a fraction short of 130. duckster

My recollection is that they have done quite well over the past decade. They have grown substantially and are known to be THE big player in small caps. they have done poorly in the last year because the market has moved to a large-cap orientation. DFA explicitly deals explicitly in small-caps with low market price to book ratios. To call the owners academic-types "trying to play fund manager" reveals a lack of knowledge. Euagene Fama established modern portfolio theory of stocks and his views lead to the establishment of passive index funds. Scholes and Miller established derivitive pricing theory and their option theory established the pricing of options. Just about every professional on the street uses the tools these guys developed. You wouldn't have anyone and I mean anyone of the street saying these guys don't know how to manage funds.
