The weeks top value investing news
Busy week on the filing front. Most of the Gurus filings have been made public and their holdings are made available at sites like gurufocus.com and stockpickr.com. Personally, I like Gurufocus.com for the way the information is organized and presented. But stockpickr works fine. Finally, kudos to Todd Sullivan at Valueplays for taking 3 out of the top 5 value investing stories at valueinvestingnews.com
1. Sick of Buffett Stories?- VIN should be “Buffet Investing News” so far in May. Todd Sullivan explains why too much Buffett may be a bad thing.
2. Why I Bought (and Sold) Graham Corporation-Joe Ponzio details his reasoning for buying the small company stock of Graham Corporation, the unique attributes of small caps, and why he decided to sell when he did.
3. Leucadia Releases 13-f: Can You Spell Concentrated Portfolio?-88% invested in financials…
4. Garmin: Growth at a Reasonable Price?- Garmin is the dominant player in the fast growing GPS market. The company has delivered nearly 50% annual earnings growth since 2003, and is expected to grow at 17% per year going forward. With it’s current 11 P/E, is Garmin a textbook example of growth at a reasonable price?
5. Lampert Reports Sallie Mae Stake-An amended SEC filing

I couldn’t find a way to contact you on your site, so I’m leaving this message here.
I heard about your site from your post at ValueWiki, and read your posts on your blog. I respect your philosophy and think I have something that you’d like.
I too am a value investor, but I realized that it’s very difficult to adhere to those principles without having the ability to determine the value of a company according to my own estimates of growth and risk, rather than relying on Wall St estimates and their unknown agenda’s.
So I built a website that provides the tools that Value investors need, based entirely on earnings data and your estimates of risk and growth the site will calculate the value of the equity based on two models, Free cash flow to firm and Free cash flow to equity.

I also created a powerful publishing tool that can help you create extremely professional reports in no time at all.
Publishing Tool: http://www.equityhive.com/Main/Content/ReportForm.aspx?s=3373&random=1
Just select the “Professional Valuation Report Template” and then click the green arrow button next to it and Preview your report. You’ll see a very professional report with tons of technical data that will support your opinion on the stock.
I think the site is tailored to a person like you, and I would be honored to hear your thoughts and opinions.
As I said, the site is built for people like you and if you think I should add certain features etc, there’s a good chance they’ll get built pretty quickly.
Thank you for taking the time to read my message, I hope to hear from you soon.
Regards,
Ruben Rotteveel.
