      One final point, I think anyone attending the Value Investing Congress should take the recommendation with a large grain of salt. Essentially, TIlson and Tongue are hedge fund managers using their forum to hype the stock already in their portfolio. Follow these followers at your own risk! Best advice, read Joel Greenblatt's books and do your own homework. You'll come out farther ahead in the end. May 07 11:33 PM

      I've been to the last three Value Investing Congresses and can tell you that the average return from the basket of stocks recommended has been -13%. Tilson and Tongue are so desperate for speakers that now they're hyping technical analysis. Since when has that been a value investing tool? The stocks recommend by these two in particular have a -27% cumulative return. To top it all off, they have the nerve to charge over $2000 for their conference. What a bargain. Rip off the rich hicks - I guess that's their philosphy. Warren and Charlie must be very sad indeed to see what passes for value investing these days. May 07 11:31 PM
