We've stated often that net/nets are cheap for a reason, and they don't typically make the list because of positive company performance. They are often beaten down beyond belief, and the 1 year performance of the current members of the CS21 net/net index certainly proves this: On average, the 21 companies in the index are down an average of 53.33% since last year! Talk about bottom fishing! Could the CS21 Net/Net Index be the poor man's "Dogs of The Dow"?
