Review of Enterprising Value Portfolio
This portfolio is made up of the 15 enterprising stocks that are trading at the greatest discount to their intrinsic value. The first week of each month we will review the list, and make any trades necessary to get the portfolio to match the list. Every week we examine the portfolio’s performance against the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average, and reinvest any dividends. The list of enterprising stocks is made by following modernized Benjamin Graham strategies, and intrinsic value is calculated by a formula based on Graham’s overall philosophy of calculating value with a margin of safety.
We have decided to provide our list of Enterprising Value companies on a weekly basis. The portfolio will continue to be rebalanced once a month, but the actual list will be provided weekly.
