canadian penny stocks


Someone emailed me this question:

“What are your thoughts on how the rise of passive investing such as index ETFs will affect value investing opportunities going forward? Will it become easier or harder for a value-oriented stock picker to find mispriced opportunities when more and more money becomes passively invested?”

Theoretically, it will become easier for value investors to pick specific stocks as indexing increases in popularity. In particular, there should be more opportunities in smaller value stocks. I started investing as a teenager in the late 1990s, which was a great time for a value investor who did not care if the stocks he found were big or small, exciting or boring. In the late 1990s, there was a boom in dot-com-type stocks and in big stocks. So, anything with dot-com in its name – whether or not it was profitable – was attracting money.

canadian penny stocks: Monro Muffler Brake, Inc.(MNRO)


Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Ben Levisohn]

    Yesterday, shares of Monro Muffler Brake (MNRO) plunged 3.1% after Barron’s Leslie Norton panned the stock in this weekend’s issue of the magazine. And wouldn’t you know it? Monro’s shares are skidding lower once again today.

    Norton’s argument was straightforward:

    At a recent $62, Rochester, N.Y.based Monro (ticker: MNRO) trades at a lofty 28 times forward earnings, compared with a 10-year average of 21.1, and 17 times earnings for the Standard & Poors 500. With sales growth slowing as competition increases, Monros strategic goal of achieving 15% annual sales gains and 20% profit growth seems distant.


    Any hint of more sluggish sales could push the shares down at least 10%. Bruce Geller, CEO of money manager Dalton Greiner Hartman Maher, who is short the stock, says, A fairly commoditized business with low organic growth deserves a more reasonable multiple of 20 times.

    That would put the stock in the mid-$40s.

    Shares of Monro Muffler Brake have dropped 4% to $57.59 at 3:49 p.m. today, leaving around 20% of downside.

    UPDATE: This post initially misspelled ‘Brake’ as ‘Break.’ It’s been corrected.
