The authors classify U.S. stocks into six value/size categories and generate a large number of random portfolios for each value/size category. Using a range of portfolio ranking criteria, they show that portfolios composed of high BE/ME stocks. Portfolios composed of high BE/ME stocks perform better than randomly selected portfolios. These results obtained for all ranking criteria and for all portfolio sizes examined.
