Hi 1step,

I recommend waiting. It's not very often in this type of market that excellent stocks with strong moats (i.e. 5 or 6) appear at the price required for the default Margin of Safety.

One change in the latest Service Pack (SP3) of VSS I made was to add an extra filter. So if you are running SP3, you can change the Minimum Rating to 70 (however I recommend you leave the Minimum Moat Strength at 5, the Margin of Safety at 50% and the Worst Case Return at 12%).

I use the 70 minimum rating and I check the "Show when current price greater than Buy Price" box on the Configuration window. This lets me see if the current price is near the maximum buy price.

Regards,
Mark.
