One should give special attention to durable competitive advantage. Besides of this, on should factor in the growth rate of a company. Growth in a competitive advantage also creates value!

Even after reading the book, understanding the pure logic, and being wowed by Greenblatt's hypo-historical stats, I continue to allocate my time towards more time-consuming methods. If you ever have time, send me your daily closing NAVs of this hypothetical, magic formula portfolio and I'll peg it to my own time series of my portfolio vs. the S&P and the DJIA. That is, if you don't mind. In my efforts to beat the market into submission in 2007, I wouldn't mind seeing how I fare against one application of the formula.
