I think he started believing his press clippings and didn't do the hard research necessary to check out the reserves on those too big to fail banks. I finally bit the bullet and after 4-5 years and sold my position at a loss.  I had hoped he was he one I could put my kids into. 

Oh well maybe Chou's funds.  It's up slightly (less than 1%)
