 Buffett-style criteria:

1. A strong economic franchise,

2. Managers of integrity and talent,

3. Excellent accounting numbers, and

4. A reasonable price.

If you want to get even deeper understanding there is much more on this in my books The Financial Times Guide to Value Investing, The Great Investors, The Deals of Warren Buffett Volume 1, The Deals of Warren Buffett Volume 2, The Deals of Warren Buffett Volume 3
Below are the results of this strategy.
I present the returns after taking the hit on broker costs, stamp duty and bid/offer spread (These investments were made before the Henry Spain Managed Portfolio Service was established

In the short-run, the market is a voting machine – reflecting a voter-registration test that requires only money, not intelligence or emotional stability – but in the long-run, the market is a weighing machine.  Benjamin Graham
