I just saw this on the reformedbroker. Can't believe it is done by college humor. Kudos to them

There is another podcast and it run by a guy named Val. It is called http://www.thevalueguys.com/ you can suscribe it on itunes.

I still think he is tired of doing security analysis. At a certain point when you are a successful money manager. You want to move to other areas such building an empire e.g. berkshire and sears or figure out quantitative strategies like Graham or Greenblatt. Obviously there are exceptions. In fact he doing interesting research. Since he is putting real money at risk. We shall see if his theories are true.

For Podcasts: If you interested in technology, there are the TWIT network podcasts. They have podcasts in different topics of the technology field. Their flagship podcast This week in Tech. It is a roundtable with people who have worked in the business for quite sometime. Their discussions, insights, and experiences are interesting. If you want to hear another interesting podcast there is one called grammar girl. The only investing podcast that is amazing to listen to is Geoff Gannon's investor questions podcast. He is always insightful.

I noticed at the end of the video when it got to Q/A. There was only one question that was shown. I wanted to hear the other questions that was asked.

eh... It is for PR/Communications majors. Cool opportunity though. I wish there was a internship/contest for finance majors at Berkshire but that would be ridiculously competitive. Although very cool.

Oh yea dont forget about the fund manager from the vice fund.

value investors that i know drink are David Einhorn and Peter Cundrill. Hell, Cundrill found out about value investing after a hangover. I wonder if discovering value investing change his lifestyle.

That is my problem with the magic formula also and using any type of formulas in general So is the secret in his new book the value weighted index? From previewing the first few chapters on amazon he does talk about the different valuation methods and explains the time value of money very well as usual. At first I wanted to guess he was going to talk the reverse dcf and explains on finding the embedded expectations of the stock. But I guess I am wrong. I would tell them to invest it with value oriented money managers and compile a list and hand it to them and tell them to find the one whom they can trust their capital with.

I wonder if Buffett will try to buy Constellation Energy again. When Constellation went under in 2008 they tried to buy it but got outbid for it. The only problematic thing is Berkshire will have to get rid of the current management.

For me it is the soft drink makers like KO, PEP, and DPS.

They seem to be hypocrites. One day they can be bullish or bearish depending on how the stock does that day. It is ironic, they call themselves long term investors. They publish these pieces regularly to generate buzz for their services. At the end of their articles; there is a small paragraph offering their services.

Wow I could have made 35-40% in two weeks. :'( I learned my lesson and not rely on other members.

Thank you myth, I might just buy both because both will do well if NBSK prices will go up.

I have around 30%, Wow I am thinking about getting into Mercer. It was down 8.5% seems like a good time to buy and make a 5% position of my portfolio. I can't buy fbk since I am not in Canada and dont have a broker that can handle Canadian stocks

Has anyone looked at buying LEAP puts for netflix? Seems like a safer way to bet for downside only thing is the market can stay irrational for a long time.

Wow this what i was looking for. This is a great early Christmas present!!! ;D Thank you

Sometimes I wonder why am i studying finance at a university.

I like it but there is already a thread on the general discussion page.

Its actually Jim Beam. I am hoping this breakup will be great for spinoff junkies.

Hey there is this guy named Ryan Morris of Meson Partners I saw his name on the notes of the Wesco meeting. Supposedly he will be a star fund manager in the future. The website is http://www.mesoncapital.com/ Another Fund family not many people talk about are the Tocqueville Funds http://www.tocquevillefunds.com/index.html Also check out Royce funds http://www.roycefunds.com/# Paul Sonkins Hummingbird value fund http://www.hummingbirdvalue.com/

Have you read his book Misbehavior of the markets? Also check out this TED talk he did

There is also the value guys podcast http://thevalueguys.com/ Also Mariusz Sconieczny has recently started valueinvestingtv.tv even though it has bad production but I think there is potential with the website.

Also a possibility for atvi is to acquire Take Two. It would increase the pipeline. If you look at Take Two, the shares have been cheap. Carl Icahn has been loading up. Even though the failed takeover from EA did not work but there could something in the works in the future. ATVI would have enough cash to buy them out.

For the basics there are two you should look at. Financial Statements- Thomas Ittelson How to read a financial report- John A. Tracey
