A very good article talking about some of the sites and services that most here are aware of: VIC, SumZero, SeekingAlpha, etc: http://www.institutionalinvestor.com/investment_strategies/Articles/2690664/Facebook-for-Finance.html

Just a passing comment: Amazon's culture is a purely tech company who happened to do retail. Not the other way around.

I'm looking at 13D and don't get it. Bruce was selling small amounts of JOE at $24-26 range just a month ago. Now he's buying larger amount at $22 range. Were the sales for some specific reason not having to do with the value of JOE? Or were the purchases simply an "answer" to Einhorn?

Munger, I wonder if you could answer my earlier question. Or let me rephrase it, so that an answer can be a simple number -- what is your current cash allocation percentage? The reason I'm asking is that you're talking in general terms, but I want to get some perspective. Thanks!

I also would like to hear about alternatives. Munger, are you personally just accumulating cash right now?

I use finviz, but I can't see an option to setup email notifications anywhere on the site.

Is there a service that provides a stock screener with weekly (or whatever) alert/email? Say, a weekly 52 week low delivered to email or even RSS reader? Thanks!

Rockafella, yo! :D Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 P.S. Is the site getting slower, or is it just me?

Can you elaborate more what you love about silver? And as opposed to gold?

Was this considered in the research? ;D It works for me so far.

Yeah, I think I did a bad job making the question clear. I should have added "if you didn't own it already" or "as a new position". Oh well. I think there's an option to change your vote, if anyone is interested. :D And then there is always an opinion out there that "if you wouldn't buy something at the current price, why do you currently hold it"?

Well, the results so far: Yes: 9 (50%) No: 9 (50%) Is somebody messing with this on purpose or what? ;D

Just wanted to throw in a quick poll on the heels of a recent discussion in "Why we love FFH" thread.

Do you have a link to the full interview/article for that quote? It seems to me he's not talking about himself there, but as a hypothetical third-person.

Yes, almost every property appraisal/assessment district allows you to search public records online. In this case, it's Miami-Dade Property Appraiser: http://www.miamidade.gov/pa/property_search.asp

I'd say quite a bit. :) According to Miami-Dade PA, he bought 2 adjacent properties right on the water on Tahiti Beach Island for a total of $23 million. So yeah, why should he close the fund? ;D

First search hit: http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=1G1GGLQ_ENCA374&=&q=+%09+Buy+American%2C+I+am+&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=

This reminded me of a comic I used to read: http://www.phdcomics.com/comics/archive/phd1105.gif But on a serious note, investing and finance is almost completely male-dominated. There was a list of value investors in another thread, guess what the most common thing about people on that list. :)

Wikipedia lists several examples, e.g. Israel. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperinflation

I'm a software developer during the day and started investing and learning about it just three years ago. So investing is actually my hobby. :) I'm also probably on the younger side than most posters here, at least that's what it feels like from the quality of discussion and general wisdom here -- I turned 30 recently.

I think you guys are talking apples/oranges, i.e. GDP vs stock market prices.

Munger, just wanted to say that I appreciate your posts. Very interesting.

I'm curious why you don't want to disclose those 4 very *large* caps.

Winter/spring of 2009 taught me that a drastic stock market decline can go hand-in-hand with a job loss. I'd hate to have to be forced to sell my holdings at the most inopportune moment.
