Sykes’ Saturday Seven: Watch Some Crazy Indians & Warren Buffett Screw Up
Berkshire Hathaway is gonna get taken apart next week as they missed on revenue estimates by $3 billion and took a $1.6 billion loss on derivatives—I like and respect Warren Buffett, but I do look forward to the pain this will cause his sissy value investor cult
This video is tailor made for the narrow-minded value investors out there—while this looks pretty crazy to us, it’s a multi-century tradition older than our entire egotistical culture:

Revolt Of The Untalented Financial Writers!
Many of you are familiar with Seeking Alpha articles–mostly because SA’s founder David Jackson did a great job getting his content onto Yahoo! Finance–it ain’t due to the quality of work! It’s more because the financial media circus is all about more content.
Breaking news, earnings, scandals…bleh blah blah, all the most active stocks must be covered and dissected by boring-ass stuck-up finance freaks, all of whom put together are less entertaining than a block of wood all while they consistently underperform the major indexes aka people who should have no audience whatsoever and instead focus on learning how to beat the market and not being scum-sucking fee-earning marketers who take advantage of the general public’s lack of market understanding.
So, it’s rather funny to me–and it should be to you too–that many of these wannabes are revolting against SA, angry they’re not getting paid for their efforts.
Welcome To Festival of Stocks #77, aka The Jungle!
Welcome to the February 25, 2008 edition of the Festival of Stocks. Festival #77 to be exact and I’m declaring it to be a jungle party!

C’mon traders, get in on this thing, stop making me have to just read about dividends and sissy (value) investors!

The Importance Of Getting The Odds On Your Side And Not Being Overly Boring
I love ripping on value investors. You might say it’s a hobby of mine. Not because I don’t think their strategy is valid—I think all strategies are valid—but because out of everyone in the finance industry, and I do mean everyone, these people are the most boring. And, it’s fun to get boring people agitated and see them struggle to remain their boring selves. Oh yeah, and they’re snobby, too. And stuffy. (Read my post where I pick a fight by calling them little sissy girls, which they are)
Due to the subject matter, finance is already boring and stuffy enough, we don’t need anymore of that crap. But these characters just can’t change—they believe what they believe—all other strategies are infidels—and so they are partly, if not mostly, to blame for the general lack of interest in finance by society as a whole.
Well, there’s hope for at least one of these mutants, Vitaliy Katsenelson. Even though he forgot to Ellis Island his name when he got here, he’s written a classically boring but unusually exceptional strategy book in Active Value Investing. Judging from the excerpt that he’s allowed me to repost here, he even sounds as if he’s got a little trader in him! It’s a great post and it echoes a difficult lesson I’m constantly trying to teach—no matter the end result of a trade/investment, if you enter with the odds/variables on your side, you’re bound to succeed eventually. If you partake in random/gut trading/investing, it doesn’t matter if you make money or not, you’ve already killed your chances for long-term success, you might as well just go to a casino and get free drinks. Read on and brand this on your little brains:
Why Value Investors Are Little Sissy Girls
This is a real conversation I (T) recently had with a value investor (VI) (who will remain nameless/ gutless) after he finished reading my book and the reason for this post’s title:
T: Happy New Year! get a chance to finish reading my book?
VI: Yes, I did, very entertaining, my wife enjoyed it too!
T: Great, whatcha think about my strategy, a little different than yours, right?
VI: Yes, and that’s why I’m sorry to say I cannot review your book
