The feed I see has your Jan 19th post as the most recent. So, I'm missing about 5 weeks. Isn't technology wonderful?<BR/><BR/>Gene: I didn't think you implied anything. I just didn't want to give the impression of promising anything about Buffett's letter (although I probably will have something to say about it). I've been a shareholder for 10 years now. I actually read all the old letters shortly after buying stock. I credit Buffett with getting me started understanding money matters.<BR/><BR/>Patrick: I think you're likely right about fiddling the numbers. As they say, there are lies, damned lies, and statistics.Michael Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362529610470788243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465015914589377788.post-8302962495966021912009-02-27T18:43:00.000-05:002009-02-27T18:43:00.000-05:00Thanks for the link!

Also, that Neal Frankle article is interesting, although I expect that, rather than report bad returns, the fund managers might start to <A HREF="http://michaeljamesmoney.blogspot.com/2008/03/mutual-fund-front-running.html" REL="nofollow">play games</A> to make their numbers look better. Of course, that would only fool people whose money isn't already invested with them...Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16816252455472704262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465015914589377788.post-87550985688592988072009-02-27T17:47:00.000-05:002009-02-27T17:47:00.000-05:00Michael James,Sorry if I implied you should read B...Michael James,<BR/><BR/>Sorry if I implied you should read Berkshire's report and blog on your observations. Just thought you'd find it a fun weekend read. That might just be my bias as a shareholder though. :-)genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05608927986297939720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465015914589377788.post-5880278817218802002009-02-27T17:03:00.000-05:002009-02-27T17:03:00.000-05:00Joy! :)Ah, that's a good point.

I don't have it set up with any of the syndicators like feedburner or delicious or what have you, but might get around to that when I have some free time.<BR/><BR/>The link is correct for now though, it's just that it's meant to be read by your RSS2 reader rather than your webbrowser :) I just go right-click, copy link location, then go to my feed reader (google, thunderbird, etc), click add feed, then paste the URL in.<BR/><BR/>I also don't make it easy to link to posts with how I have my server set up. Any year now, I'll get around to fixing that... :)Potatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18157102363273750204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465015914589377788.post-11693314402163586532009-02-27T16:42:00.000-05:002009-02-27T16:42:00.000-05:00Potato: I like your log transform post.

I see myself as someone who analyzes information rather than as a real reporter who reports the news.
