Shadow Stock Portfolios

As discussed here, The Stock Market Blueprint is building and tracking a Shadow Stock Portfolio for each Premium stock screen featured on the site.

The purpose of the shadow stock portfolios is to show investors how systematic investment strategies can be implemented using the stock screens featured on TheStockMarketBlueprint.com.

Additionally, the Shadow Stock Portfolios are establishing track records for the strategies being implemented. These records provide actual investment results in real-time.

NCAV Description

The Net Current Asset Value (NCAV) stock screen was made popular by Benjamin Graham and proved to be a successful approach for the Graham-Newman Corp.

Warren Buffett also enjoyed terrific returns by implementing this approach in the early days of his career.

Buffett called this strategy the “cigar-butt” approach because “a cigar butt found on the street that has only one puff left in it may not offer much of a smoke, but the ‘bargain purchase’ will make that puff all profit.”

See a more detailed explanation of the screen here.
