Hedgehog Biggs says growth stocks cheap

No comments

Barton Biggs, whose insider’s tale of the hedge fund industry ‘Hedgehogging’ has become a must read, is a die hard value guy. But in an interview with The Street.com he said growth stocks are cheap:

“I’ve always been a value investor. Historically, value beats growth by almost 300 basis points a year. It’s a complicated subject. But I also want to keep an open mind, so I am also somewhat eclectic, and there are times, like right now, when growth is so under-priced relative to value that growth is also attractive. I think that some of the big-capitalization stocks are on a relative basis reasonably attractive.”
