The Weeks Top Value Investing News

Before posting the weeks top value investing news, I would like to thank the families and the individuals who made the ultimate sacrifice in making America as great as it is. Sometimes we forget how wonderful of a country we have and its not until we visit other countries we realize the luxuries we have. Now, to my favorite subject : value investing. This weeks value investing news was dominated by Warren Buffett’s trip to Europe.

1.- Setting the record straight on Buffett and Deriaviatives-Why is Buffett so often misrepresented on his famous “financial weapons of mass destruction” comments?

2.- Is Value Dead? - Francis Chou’s funds have suffered a severe beating lately, but he isn’t calling in the coroners. Now is the time for bargains, says the star value manager, and he insists he knows exactly where they are.

3.- Buffett proclaims his ignorance -The most surprising thing about Warren Buffett is that he can still surprise. After all, more ink has likely been spilled dissecting Buffett’s strategies than those of any other investor. Buffett became the world’s richest person while displaying both integrity and wit.

4.- Still at war, David Einhorn weighs in - David Einhorn, president of Greenlight Capital, discusses his long-running battle with Allied Capital and his new book, ‘Fooling Some of the People All of the Time.’

5.- Another attack on Eddie - I read an article called “Sears majesty to hedge-fund dust” at the behest of a reader on the gurufocus message boards, and I have to say it is one of the most uninformed and incomplete articles I’ve ever read.
