Ben Graham focused on buying as many statistically cheap stocks he could find. Buffett after many years of less than perfect results from investing in cheap ideas/cigar butts with textile mills, department stores and windmill companies his approached was modified. His modified approach was to focus on good companies at cheap prices such as Coca-Cola. The approach of buying good companies for cheap prices is exactly the focus of Joel Greenblatt. He took the best from both investors and with his ability to forecast normalized earnings several years out this approach has been unmatched for many years running the hedge fund Gotham Capital.
