Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc., which has shunned buybacks for four decades, will repurchase shares for as much as 110 percent of their book value, saying the stock is undervalued upon falling 17 percent this year. The underlying businesses of Berkshire are worth considerably more than this amount," the Omaha.-based company said on Monday in a statement.

This study examines the predicability of stock returns in the 12 emerging stock markets by using price-earnings ratio, dividend yield, and market-to-book ratio as predictive variables during the period of 1997-2003.

We find that the predictability of stock returns in the emerging markets is variant. The market-to-book ratio stands to reveal significant results in terms of predicting stock returns for a one-year period among others for most of the emerging market countries.

The author will discuss and illustrate several of them, including one developed by Skandia Insurance Company Ltd. and Robert Kaplan and David Norton's balanced scorecard. The author will also address how intellectual...
