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!
-
also, what else would encourage people to invest in? Bonds? Gold? Real estate?
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!

What I love about silver, by the way, is it's so Jessie Livermore, and so ripe for the times. imo
Can you elaborate more what you love about silver? And as opposed to gold?

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

I would not buy anymore because I have as much as I want at the current discount to IV. If I did not have any then maybe my answer would be different.
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.

Turar,
How did you find the real estate transaction for Bruce? Is there a site that let's you search by name?
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'm curious as to how much money Bruce is raking in now. It's got to be more since he moved from New Jersey to Florida a couple of years ago.
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

Can you provide copies... NY time had lots of articles you know.
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=

There does not seem to have any women in the group... interesting.
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. :)

has there been historical situations where inflation has over time accelerated into hyper or when hyper has slowed down into none hyper?
Wikipedia lists several examples, e.g. Israel.

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.

Parsard -- there was headline fear but reality is GDP barely declined.
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.
-
but we own a fair amount of four of them today! And none of those four are Kraft.
I'm curious why you don't want to disclose those 4 very *large* caps.

I dont have enough assets for this, but have a natural hedge. No Kids, Parents live down the street, and low costs life style (very little in assets, or capex). Its prudent though if you have kids or real worries.
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.

A very good article talking about some of the sites and services that most here are aware of: VIC, SumZero, SeekingAlpha, etc:
