Over at the Graham Investor I found a post questioning whether the 10 rules for selecting stocks that Benjamin Graham explained and tested later in his career are still relevant. I agree that some of these items are outdated due to changes in corporate policies related to things like dividend payouts. However, the checklist below still might serve as a good basis for making your own modifications to still capture the Ben Graham philosophy.
