Testing the performance of price-to-book value November 23, 2009 by greenbackd This site is dedicated to undervalued asset situations, but I haven’t yet spent much time on undervalued asset situations other than liquidations and Graham net current asset value stocks.

Stock analysts should carry pom-poms, for all the cheerleading they seem to do for the companies they cover. For S&P 500 companies, 49% of recommendations say “buy” and 44% say “hold.” Just 7% say “sell.” Perhaps analysts find S&P 500 companies or the broader stock market particularly attractive now, but the dearth of “sell” recommendations is nothing new.
