  • Berkshire + Burlington = Hypocrisy, Expediency and Full Dose of Ego? [View article]
    My question was and is:

    The entire discussion on the web has been about Buffett and Berkshire's motivations, and this isn't the first time he's come to the aid of the markets with his "patriotic" dealmaking. He did the same last year after Bear. BUT, the real mystery may be why did BNI spend all of about 30 seconds deciding to go for the deal? What did THEY know?

  • Four of My Favorite Stocks [View article]
    Good picks... altho I personally no longer accept the "buy and hold" philosophy of stock investing, nor have I found it to be profitable to "average down" in a market meltdown scenario... the "catching of the falling knife" metaphor sticks in my mind.

    So I believe the best of both worlds in this environment is to find good fundamentally valued stocks and use technical analysis to try to time your trades... looking for extreme oversold conditions to catch a pop, and getting out after a nice quick run.

    Maybe someday one can hold a stock for more than a couple of weeks, but that sure hasn't enriched many people the past 18 months.
