Investment Grade Value Stock Bargain Monitor Grows Two Months In A Row --- Hmmm
The fewer IGVSI equities at bargain prices, the stronger the market and the more Smart Cash that should be accumulating in the equity bucket of your portfolio.

The S & P 500 contains about half the IGVSI selection universe, which tracks a portfolio of less than 400 stocks.
