A Poem on the Graham Method - Fundamental Analysis

The company's life is long

But its loans are small

It makes profits

and shares with partners

Its profits grow

Its assets grow

Its reputation grows

Its liquidity grows

You can calculate its value

and there is a seller who concurs with your view.
