    Do some managers consistently buy shares for more than they are worth? If so, do they make money in the long term? Reply

    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. . .

    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

    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?". Reply

    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. Reply

    Marketfolly,

    I believe we are saying the same thing here or at least seeing the same potential opportunity. Just remember, no ever buys the lows and sells the highs consistently. And if you meet someone who says they do....they're a liar.

    NollierCapitalManageme...

    my thoughts on AXP simply stem from my belief that rising consumer debt and credit card receivables will be the next "shoe to drop," stemming from the housing bubble, credit crunch, and various other headwinds facing an increasingly poorer consumer.

    i agree with your thoughts though regarding their payment processing segment, as I believe that will be a great source of revenue going forward (see MA, V). Also, I think you are correct in that they have developed a strong brand. As a longer term investor, this name can make great sense.

    However, looking out 6-12 months, I still feel the benefits they see from payment processing will be offset by rising delinquencies and charge-offs. I just look at them as a MA or V, but with credit exposure. And, therefore, MA and V should outperform AXP in the near-term. Longer term though, don't get me wrong, AXP does make some sense. But, why buy it now if I think I can buy it cheaper some time from now, ya know?

    Thanks for the comments.

    Nollier,

    how much you made today on AXP as after 3 years you may be well long dead just as everybody else.
    If one don't know to make money today,then gardening is another very engaging proposition.

    Good write up. Just curious as to why you feel AXP is a little ify here? Most people categorize AXP as a credit card company when in fact credit cards are a very some piece of their overall business. A large percentage of their revenues come from merchant fees, processing fees, i.e. closed loop network. I would argue that they are a pay card company. They also have the travel business going for them. I agree they became greedy by entering certain markets with their credit card marketing campaigns. This has caused them pain in the short term. However, this is an iconic brand that has become cheap for the first time in a long time. These scenarios happen infrequently. Those who buy or have bought AXP will be rewarded over the next three years. Yes, AXP could get cheaper but I would bet money managers would add to their positions if it occurs. Cheers! Reply

    ISV worth a look, good fundamentals, there were spikes on Thursday and Friday despite a bad market. A cup and handle was formed maybe in anticipation of good earnings. Reply
