You have to love a story in which an individual takes control of a company and then works hard to build that company to compete against dinosaurs that have more advanced technology and have been in the business for a greater number of years. In the past year, BYD has garnered national attention as an individual in Omaha has taken a 10% stake in the Chinese auto manufacturer. A big reason for Buffett’s interest in BYD is its CEO Wang Chuanfu, who has built up this once bankrupt auto maker into a potential powerhouse in the hybrid and electric car arena. But, as Chinese auto manufactures try to capture market share in the U.S. some critics and individuals are going to start questioning the safety, quality, and political aspects of allowing Chinese autos on U.S. soil.

Yes!!!!! Contrarian Value Investing (the thingymajjigger you are reading) made the list of top 50 buy and hold blogs over at ETF Database. Any recognition is good recognition. Actually, I put in a little work on the blog when I first started than I do now. Now I am concentrating on a membership site in which I am hoping to guide individual investors on the proper way to use the magic formula.
If your interested, use the form below to get updates on when we launch….
Some of the benefits you will learn at the new site:
- The #1 reason you worry about your portfolio 24/7
- Why you should not worry when earnings season begins
- How to avoid value traps
- Discover the #1 way to avoid a Ponzi Scheme (i.e Bernie Madoff)
- Discover a 3 step-30 second approach to determine whether a stock requires further investigation
- Works for small, mid and large caps
Of course there is much more!!!

I have mentioned Seth Klarman several times before. I find his investments “intriguing” in the sense that his investments hardly overlap the investments of other value fund managers. Anyway, below is a excerpt of the March Outstanding Investor Digest. Also, for those interested in his holdings, they were recently made available and Todd of Value Plays did a nice job of summarizing his increases and decreases. [click to continue…]

One of my favorite sites to visit is Morningstar.com. Morningstar is known for its coverage in the mutual fund industry and has moved into the stock arena. And it appears they will start moving into the hedge fund arena. I enjoy browsing through Morningstar as I consider it a well rounded site with a value twist added to it. Whether their analyses on stocks are right or wrong, that usually depends on the outcome. For example, they were early in calling a housing bottom and I remember very clearly how they were reccommending certain housing stocks. Anyway, despite some of their errors ,which is expected in this industry, I still believe they are the closest thing we have to a “value based” website that offers a bit of everything. Anyway, I found their recent article on Burlington Northern to be very interesting. [click to continue…]
