The RNAV will use the market value instead of the book value of Company N to determine the overall revised market value of Company M’s assets. Bruce Greenwald sticks to his value investing knitting but by doing so, he misses what macro-oriented investors like me perceive as the biggest risk. So, although autos and steel are bad businesses to own for the long run, buying them near a trough can be far more profitable than buying and holding franchise companies.

They are paying 18 times earnings, but it’s really much worse than that. I’m not saying that is the case for everything but I really believe that the market is far more irrational during stressful times than during normal times. 10, that’s two times earnings – a 50% earnings return.
