STILL CONFUSED! CAN YOU JUST SAY IT IN SIMPLE TERMS..THANKS Reply
Stocks with the Highest Short Interest [view article]
Sorry last sentence should be:The long interest is the float. High short % presumably increases buying interest above normal trading volumes. Reply
Stocks with the Highest Short Interest [view article]
Shorted stocks supposedly are borrowed from longs via the longs' brokers and sold. (I say supposedly because naked shorting has become quite the fashion but I will let more sophisticated traders tell us how that works.) The short speculator or arbitrager has cash and owes the long the stock. Should the stock go down, the short purchases it on the open market and returns the stock to the long. The difference is the profit. Should the stock go up, the short must repurchase at a loss and replace. Thus the % of the stock float sold short shows you how much potential pent-up buying exists in a given security. If the shorts are wrong about a stock, their buying tacked on to normal buying can result in excessive movements to the upside.Thus the float is the long interest plus the short covering potential.

15 Value Hedge Funds - Portfolio Update [view article]
Do some managers consistently buy shares for more than they are worth? If so, do they make money in the long term? ReplyWarren Buffett Accumulates NRG Energy, Ingersoll-Rand and Union Pacific [view article]
NRG and IR were more than likely bought by Louis simpson who is NO BUFFett Reply15 Value Hedge Funds - Portfolio Update [view article]
valueinvestor123 & Jake2 - please visit my blog and read a few posts before making such statements.Fox - I simply picked 10 funds that have historically been considered value investors - and I define that as buying something for less than it is worth.
User 164258 - you are correct and the glitch is fixed on my blog. . .

15 Value Hedge Funds - Portfolio Update [view article]
I guess I am dumb like you. I think seeing what some pretty bright people are buying and selling is a pretty good place to get ideas to do my own research. It also provides a good benchmark to compare to my own portfolio.You should do some further research on whether Buffett sold COP. I saw another post that he, in fact, got an expemption from the SEC to not report is position in that stock. Therefore, it simply droppped from the list and not sold. Given that COP is pretty cheap compared to the rest and that he and Gates were up in Canada looking at oil sands, it seems unlikely that he just punched out of this position in one quarter Reply

I don't see much "value" in this kind of blanket value listing. Would prefer something more akin to e-valu-ating individual stocks, industries, etc., rather than, "Wither the hedge herd, mate?". Reply15 Value Hedge Funds - Portfolio Update [view article]
I would like to know how you define "value" in the context that you are using it. I see one of the funds you mention has a position in First Solar. Reply15 Value Hedge Funds - Portfolio Update [view article]
Meb is a pretty bright guy and synthesis of other concepts can be very useful. ReplyHow Have 'Traditional Defensive Stocks' Done in This Downturn? [view article]
As a retired Colgate employee who ignored financial advisor's advice and hung on to a lot of company stock , I feel vindicated.They are well-positioned globally to grow in all the emerging economies and so far have been able to offset the high commodity prices. Reply

The author got the facts so wrong in this article that it should be deleted as not to mislead more people. ReplyWarren Buffett Accumulates NRG Energy, Ingersoll-Rand and Union Pacific [view article]
Rong,The price of Berkshire stock carries a substantial premium over the price of the stock portfolio it holds. This premium may or may not be justified; Buffett himself prefers buying shares of IR and NRG to buying back shares of BRK, and for a good reason too: he doesn't consider the price of BRK shares to be a bargain, unlike that of IR and NRG.
Berkshire is not a mutual fund or an ETF. If the primary insurance and reinsurance businesses of Berkshire falter, an investor may do much better by holding KO, PG, WFC, AXP and the other stocks in the portfolio than by owning shares of BRK.
