True story · Graham's net-nets

Buying a dollar for fifty cents — by the basket

Graham's signature operation was mechanical and unglamorous: buy companies trading below their "net-net" working capital — cash, receivables and inventory minus every liability — so the buyer effectively paid nothing for the factories, the brand or the future. Each one was a discarded cigar butt with one free puff left.

Any single net-net could disappoint, so Graham never relied on one: Graham-Newman held dozens at a time, selling each as it returned to fair value. Across three decades, through depression aftermath and war, the diversified baskets earned roughly 20% a year — built from stocks nobody else wanted.

A screen's edge comes from discipline and diversification across the basket — not from any single thrilling pick.

True story · John Templeton, 1939

Buying everything under a dollar as the world went to war

In 1939, as war broke out in Europe and pessimism was total, young John Templeton borrowed $10,000 and placed one order: 100 shares of every NYSE and AMEX stock trading below $1 — 104 companies, 34 of them already in bankruptcy proceedings. He picked nothing; he priced despair across an entire basket.

He held for about four years and roughly quadrupled the money. Only four of the 104 positions went to zero. The systematic rule — maximum pessimism, wide diversification, a fixed holding period — did the work that stock-picking brilliance could not.

At the point of maximum pessimism, breadth and a written rule beat selectivity and nerve.

Research, not advice

These screeners filter only the figures you enter yourself. They produce educational shortlists based on your own thresholds and do not fetch live data, verify your numbers, or provide buy, sell, or hold recommendations.
