Value Leader Rankings (from Briefing.com)
{Sorry; not well formatted but here it is for anyone who would like to wade thru it!}
The following table contains a list of stocks that we believe should be particularly attractive to value and yield investors who want to avoid "value traps." Value Leaders components are derived from a quantitative screen and ranking system that is designed to uncover companies that possess a combination of low valuations across a variety of metrics, healthy 6-month Relative Strength, and shareholder-friendly managements that pay dividends and/or have active share buybacks in place. There are no growth or market cap criteria applied to this list.
