Welcome to Episode #385 of the Value Investor Podcast.
Every week, Tracey Ryniec, the editor of Zacks Value Investor portfolio, shares some of her top value investing tips and stock picks.
With the new edition of Ben Graham’s famous book, The Intelligent Investor, now out, updated, once again, by Jason Zweig, Tracey decided to use Zacks most sophisticated stock screens to find Warren Buffett and Ben Graham-like stocks.
Screening for Ben Graham and Warren Buffett Stocks
Usually Tracey uses the Premium screens on Zacks.com to find value stocks for the podcast. But this week, she went with the big product: Zacks Research Wizard. It is meant for financial advisors and other professionals.
Research Wizard has “guru” pre-built screens, including for Warren Buffett and Benjamin Graham, considered to be the top two value investors of all time. For those who don’t know, Buffett once worked for Ben Graham.
Ben Graham died in the 1970s, but his book, The Intelligent Investor, and his student, Buffett, live on.
Tracey will have future podcasts on this new book. But, for now, you’ll have to make due with these stock screens.
How Many Value Stocks Did The Screens Return?
The Warren Buffett screen has always been narrow. It returned just 2 stocks.
There were more stocks in the Ben Graham screen, however. It returned 18 stocks. And that is with the added requirement that companies pay a dividend.
Neither screen looked for the Zacks Rank. These screens are about value, not the Rank.
