I set up a portfolio of mid-cap value plays that are potential takeover candidates. Basically I look for P/E less than or equal to 10 and a quick ratio of greater than or equal to 1.0. A quick ratio is a measure of a company's liquidity and ability to meet its obligations. Often referred to as "acid test ratio," it is derived by subtracting inventories from current assets and then dividing by current liabilities. Typically, a quick ratio greater than 1 is good and indicates a company does not have to rely on the sale of inventory to pay the bills.
