Ryan Freund, a Value Investing Blogger, has shared with us some of the key attributes that Benjamin Graham, and Warren Buffett, uses when narrowing down their universe of stocks. I have provided the 6 attributes by Graham, but check out Freund Investing to see their changes to his methodology based on the current market.

1. Price-to-book (P/B) ratio (also known as Net Asset Value and Net Tangible Assets) of less than 1.5.

2. Earnings per share (EPS) should have grown by 33% in the past 10 years.

3. The price-to-earnings (ttm) ratio should be below 15.

4. The current ratio should be below 1.5.

5. The company should pay out a dividend.

6. Price of the stock divided by the P/B should less than 1.2.

Based on a screen with these metrics, FI came up with 15 stocks you should look at. But, as Ryan mentions, this is not an endorsement to buy, but rather a good way to narrow down your research.
