Value Stock Losers Buffett, Miller Poised as Winners
Submitted on 08/22/2008
Bill Miller, Martin Whitman and David Dreman, mired in the worst slumps of their careers, are poised once again to trounce the stock market.
If history is any guide, the value investors' emphasis on shares trading at low prices relative to cash flow and earnings will provide returns superior to the holdings of so-called growth managers. Growth investing, which focuses on companies with the fastest projected profit increases, beat value strategies for the first time this decade in 2007 and by 15.5 percentage points so far this year, the widest margin since 1980, according to data compiled by Paris-based Societe Generale SA.
'This is one of the worst periods I've seen for value,' said Dreman, 72, who oversees about $15 billion as chairman of Dreman Value Management LLC in Jersey City, New Jersey. 'The more it underperforms, the more it normally snaps back. The probabilities are very strong we'll have a major upswing.'
