Behan's Value Stock Analysis Newsletter          

Value Stocks

Due to subscriber request, the Behan's Value Stock Analysis Newsletter has become a 250 member, closed-ended group. There will not be future updates displaying our past picks or rates of return. Thank you for your interest. (12/31/2005)


Who defines what criteria is used in determining what would equate to Value Stocks?  If the stock market would react rationally (or even close), there could be some pretty set guidelines using the standard ratios and averages that would label stocks as either undervalued stocks or overvalued stocks. While following the markets very closely, we choose our picks using a common sense approach, finding those stocks that have deflated pricing not reflecting the sound,  perhaps actual, valuations for those companies.

From our standpoint, Behan's Value Stocks Pick's strength lies in an ability to identify trends not quantified by standard analysis .  We do not sell stocks, provide financing to companies or have our employees working on a commission basis.  Our inter-office memos contain the same information, the same stock ratings you'll receive.

Please bear in mind that our performance figures do not include any dividends or distributions. Also consider that many of our subscribers have stated that the anti-value picks have proven to be a very useful tool for their investment strategies.

The end of a strange year. We chose very few stocks, being especially wary of a terrorist attack that might create a buying opportunity and diminish the value of our picks. Thankfully we were wrong but were still able to outperform the S&P 500. Here's to a more stable 2006.

Investors Beware.  We feel the market in general, is too volatile and over-valued at this time. Add the instability in the Middle East and now Iran and N. Korea, high oil prices, the possibility of a terrorist attack (although we were/are impressed by the market reactions to events such as the London Bombings, Hurricanes Rita, Wilma and Katrina) and we are promoting very few stocks.

Our latest pick, the innovator of Bar Coding, Symbol Technologies, (SBL) became a value stock at the offering price of $7.  It has performed very well in the short-term.

Stocks will remain a current value stock as long as we perceive the upside to be greater than the downside risk.   Obviously the advantages of the best performing picks have diminished if they have had a run up after our pick date. Current Anti-Value, Year-to-Date and new Value Stocks Picks from the day of the pick are available to subscribers only.  We utilize only Value or Anti-Value ratings.

Currently, our Anti -Value Stocks list remains larger than our Value Stocks Pick list. 

The Behan Value Stocks Alert is sent via e-mail to all subscribers immediately upon any changes in our Value Pick or Anti-Value ratings.  Depending on market conditions, subscribers may receive 3-12 e-mails per month. Currently our subscriber group is closed with a solid waiting list.
