Intro

Following the mid year rebalancing of the Russell indices, we look at some of the companies that have moved into the Value index, maybe somewhat surprisingly. We also explore how intangible assets are not always valued correctly, especially under GAAP accounting standards. Finally we discuss how many of the top performing stocks of the last 10 years would have been difficult for value investors to invest in.
