Benjamin graham formulae is:

V = EPS *(8.5+2g)

V = EPS *(8.5+2g)*4.4/Y in the year 1962


Some of the Quotes of Benjamin Graham are :

1) An earnings-to-price(reverse of the P/E RATIO) that is double the triple-A bond Yield.If the
triple-A bond yield is 8 persent,the required earnings yuild then will be 16 percent.
2)A price-to-earning ratio that is four-tenths of the highest average P/E ratio that the stock has achieved
in the most recent five years.(to get the average P/e ratio,an average stock price for that given year is divided by the earnings for the particular year)
3)A dividend yield of two-thirds the triple-A bond yield.Stocks paying no dividend or those that have no current profits from what to pay dividends are excluded.
4)A stock price that is two-thirds the tangible book value per share.This is calculated by adding up all the assets,excluding intangibles such as good will,patents etc
substracting all liabilities and dividing by the total number of shares.
5)A stock price that is two-thirds the net current asset value of the share.The net quick liquidation value is the current assets less total debt.This is ofcourse was the
foundation of ben's original theories.
6)Total debt that is less than tangible book value.
