And one market approach that may be of particular interest to investors during the current period of market turmoil is the value strategy developed by Benjamin Graham. (For more on this strategy, see our other post, "Three Rules of Value Investing".)

In his Validea newsletter, John reese explains, "Benjamin Graham -- considered the greatest investment guru by Warren Buffett -- built his reputation by using an extremely conservative, low-risk approach to investing." Buffett, incidentally, was Ben Graham's student.

Reese continues, "To Graham, preserving one's original capital was every bit as important as netting big gains. Having lived through the 1929 market crash, it's no surprise that the strategy Graham laid out in his classic book The Intelligent Investor was a conservative, loss-averse approach.

"To Graham, an investment wasn't something that could be turned into quick, easy profits; anything that offers such 'easy' rewards also comes with substantial risk, and Graham abhorred risk. In terms of specifics, Graham's approach limited risk in a number of ways, and my Graham-based model lays out several of those methods.

Got merger mania too? On tonight's MAD MONEY segment on CNBC, Jim Cramer got into the spirit of the takeovers that had the Street buzzing today and discussed how to find the next Oregon Steel Mills, Inc. (NYSE:OS) or similar acquisition possibility.

He says Reliance Steel & Aluminum (NYSE:RS) is still cheap, a considerable supplier of both rolled and stainless steel, which is still in short supply. Cramer opined that a smaller company, like Reliance, could be bought, but he didn't think Nucor Corporation (NYSE:NUE) was small enough for an acquisition target. He thought RS would be the most likely target.

He would hold a hearing about who lost Oregon Steel. He thinks the WSJ publishing a steel glut that kept you out of this name. Anyway, he will go on and on but he thinks RS is the next steel buyout potential.

RS has a $2.7 billion market cap; 52-week trading range of $28.43 to $49.75. It closed up 5.7% at $35.55 in normal trading and traded up another 4% to $37.15 in after-hours trading after Cramer touted it. If the trailing P/E is accurate it looks like RS only trades at 7.5 times earnings and seven times December 2007 earnings.
