Joel Greenblatt Notes
Portfolio Management
- Inefficient markets, less analyst coverage => more opportunity
- Own 5-8 securities and know them well
Balance sheet
Cash
- Value cash at a discount: $5 per share of cash might as well be $3
- Or if management is doing good things, good earnings, take it at full value
Companies with a lot of cash:
- Identify if management owns a lot of stock - a company with a high cash per share can be bad if the shareholders don't get that value
- Sell when the company makes a big aquisition - they're comitting to not getting shareholders back the cash
