I was mistaken when I posted that the T Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Fund (PRWCX) had a down year last year. It did not, and that makes for 18 positive years in a row which I find quite amazing. Gabelli ABC (GABCX) and First Eagle Overseas (SGOVX) both have 14 positive years in a row.

Likewise, an investor could do a lot worse than owning the funds held in the New Century Alternatives Fund (NCHPX). (Fact Sheet)

One of my favorite screens is to look for companies trading below cash. While you have to be careful because there are plenty of landmines, an enterprising analyst can find some real gems with very little risk. Burn rate is obviously a huge consideration, as is debt levels and insider buying. The below companies are trading below cash, below book value, and over $10m market cap:

ICXT
COWN
NINE
HRAY
YMI
RODM
TTIL
