On Apr 12, 2008, at 11:05 AM, Shane Mage wrote: > Warren Buffet has done nearly as well--and over a longer period--with > absolutely *no* speculation. My definition of speculation is buying securities with the hope of selling them later at a higher price (or shorting them with the hope of buying them back at a lower price, but let's bracket that for now). That's exactly what Buffett does. He buys stocks he thinks are "undervalued" through systematic market misperceptions - of ...

9253 [lbo-talk] Soros -- rank: 1000
The NYT profile of George Soros <http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/11/business/11soros.html> reports that his funds averaged 30.5% a year - after fees! - from 1969 to 2000. That's extraordinary. $1 million invested with him in 1969 would have turned into $3,836,417,487 in 2000. It's amazing how he's one of the greatest speculators of all time but he has this weird social dem philosophy.

[this sounds reasonable to me] [Goldman Sachs] US Economics Analyst Issue No: 08/15 April 11, 2008 US Economic Research Group Taking Stock of the Home Price Downturn * We estimate that falling house prices and lower interest rates have eliminated slightly more than half of the 2006 housing market overvaluation. If prices fall another 10% from their (estimated) 2008Q1 level, as we expect, the resulting 25% peak-to-trough decline would bring standard valuation measures roughly back into line with ...
