Purpose: The objective of this study is to validate the value investing concerning filtering valued stock in the Indian stock market (Nifty 50) & United States (Dow Jones) during the period 2014 -20. Design /Methodologies/Approach:  We have selected the data of the National Stock Exchange and Dow Jones to apply the value investing technique for choosing the stocks and building a significant portfolio. Further, we compare the mean returns of B & H passive strategy. The empirical analysis includes the selected portfolio from Jan 2014 to May 2020. Results & Practical Implication: The mean return of portfolio selected by Value investing outperform as comparative to passive strategy, i.e. Buy & Hold strategy. The successful application of value investing will encourage the practitioners & academicians of financial markets to research & explore further uses & practical impact of the present study. JEL Classification Codes: F37.

Background Metal complexes Cu[C13H8O4N]22, Ni[Cl3H8O4N]23, and Co[C13H8O4N]24 of bioinorganic relevance have been synthesized with the Schiff base ligand 2-furylglyoxal–anthranilic acid (FGAA) [C13H9O4N] 1. All the complexes are well characterized by various spectral and physical methods. The antimicrobial activity of the complexes has been studied against some of the pathogenic bacteria and fungi. Results Results indicate that complexes have higher antimicrobial activity than the free ligand. This would suggest that chelation reduces considerably the polarity of the metal ions in the complexes which in turn increases the hydrophobic character of the chelate and thus enables permeation, through the lipid layer of microorganisms. All the complexes were assessed for their anticancer studies against a panel of selected cancer cells HOP62 and BT474 respectively. Results showed that the complexes are promising chemotherapeutic alternatives in the search of anticancer agents. The fluorescence quenching phenomenon is observed in the Schiff base metal complexes. Conclusion The octahedral transition metal complexes 2, 3, and 4 have been obtained by treatment of ligand 2-furylglyoxal-anthranilic acid (FGAA) 1 with metal acetate. Complexes under investigations have shown antimicrobial, potential anticancer, and the DNA binding studies. Graphical abstract

Objectives: Schiff base ligand 2-thio phenyl glyoxal anthranilic acid is used as the starting material for the synthesis of many biologically active compounds. The main objectives of the Study was to synthesize, characterization and biological evaluation of a octahedral complexes of Co (II) and Mn(II) containing 2-thiophenyl glyoxal anthranilic acid as ligand. Methods: Ethanolic solution of ligand 2-thiophenyl glyoxal anthranilic acid added into the ethanolic solution of metal acetate the resulting solution was refluxed for 2 hr the product thus obtained was filtered, washed with ethanol followed by ether and characterized by various spectral studies and biological significance. Results: The resulted complex was investigated by the help of elemental analysis, Molar Conductance, Magnetic moment, IR, Electronic and NMR Spectral Studies. Spectral data indicates that the geometry of the complexes are Octahedral. The result of biological and cytotoxic studies indicate that complexes are much more biologically active as compared to ligand fragments. Conclusion: The complexes are biologically active and were found to be effective in all the human cancer cell lines.
