This was a really great letter to investors from value investor Tweedy Browne. He touches on a lot of great issues including how quickly perceptions about various markets or stocks change, and how little value is created by short-termism. There is a great rundown of many of the significant events over the last 20 years,...

  At T&T Capital Management, we have long-believed that GM has offered significant value since emerging from bankruptcy.  The bankruptcy process cleansed the company of some of the excessive liabilities and costs, while new management has improved the efficiency of the company.  In addition, pent-up demand from the Great Recession has caused car sales volumes...

Wal-Mart made the decision today to reduce Mike Duke with long-term Wal-Mart executive Doug McMillon.  This is a rather abrupt move considering Wal-Mart’s history of retaining CEO’s for long periods of time.  I still believe that Wal-Mart is the best positioned retailer to fight off Amazon.  It is my opinion, that the company should offer...

Teva has been one of my most frustrating investments over the last several years.  The business is the largest generic drug manufacturer in the world and benefits from tremendous scale advantages.  There has been a considerable amount of concern pertaining to the pending expiration of Copaxone in May of 2014, which accounts for 20% of...

There has a been a lot of discussion regarding whether Social Media and Cloud-based stocks are at bubble prices.  Clearly, there are significant differences between the current frothy valuations on a few stocks that at least seem to have legitimate businesses underlying them, and the absurdity that was the Nasdaq in 2000.  At that point...

When I review different investors portfolios, I’m quite often surprised at the exposure to bond mutual funds.  This has a lot to do with the cookie-cutter asset allocation philosophy that is pervasive throughout the financial advisor community, where recent historical returns are used as a proxy in building a portfolio allocation.  Of course the last...
