value and opportunity 
Good article from Morningstar! I enjoyed reading it.
When it comes to valuation Damodaran is the go-to institution and writes one of the best blogs on valuation issues. His three pieces on value investing include many valid points. But like almost all quantitative research (and discussions and EFTs) they (have to) equate value investing with low P/E and P/B metrics when I think there is much more to it…
If by “joining the SPAC party” you mean sifting through a couple of hundred offer documents, rejecting more than 99% of them and only investing in stocks available at massive discounts to our appraisal of fair value, then sure, we’re no longer sticking to value investing 🙂
Fair point. The question would be why start with SPACs right now ? It is such an overhyped stock “class” that the potential “Hit rate” of massively undervalued stocks should be much higher elsewhere ?
No qualms with anyone who wanted to avoid the ‘class’. The median SPAC will likely disappoint. But our view is that it’s an area ripe with mispricings, and some of those will be underpriced, not just overpriced. Why now? Partly team resourcing, partly opportunity set from all the new SPACs and partly because we’ve just happened across a few that happen to tick the boxes for us. DYOR, it certainly is a minefield.
Ok, understood. So Forager is not (yet) lost to the Value Investing community ….
