Money Manager Bruce Berkowitz Was Just Kidding When He Said He Wants People To Tell Him When/Why He’s Wrong

By

As you may have heard, at the Value Investing Congress on Wednesday, David Einhorn revealed (in a 139-slide PowerPoint presentation) that he and Greenlight Capital are shorting real-estate developer St. Joe Co. This was at odds with investor Bruce Berkowitz who, through Fairholme Capital Management, owns a 29 percent stake in the company (having purchased an additional 0.1% following Einhorn’s presentation). When asked by audience members about taking the other side of the trade, Einhorn, because he has manners, said that he had sent Berk a letter stating his intent to short St. Joe, and asked if the two could debate the issue, which Bruce never responded to and as recently as today, Berkowitz told Reuters, “Why would I want to talk to him?”

Which is interesting! Given that less than two months ago, Berkowitz said this: Continue reading »

“If we were able, we would buy the whole company,” Berkowitz told Reuters’ Aaron Pressman. Einhorn “has put a big spotlight on this company.

The company should hold a David Einhorn Memorial Investment Week.”

Vanity Fair Oh So Charitably Tosses Lloyd Blankfein A Bone

By

Vanity Fair is out with its annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world. Last year, Lloyd Blankfein was named numba 1 stunna. This year, something interesting happened wherein he clocked in at dead last. One can’t help but feel as though VF is trying to send a message here. Well guess what, ladies? LCB doesn’t need your mocking pity. Maybe next year, he starts his own list. Also of interest to note in the way off disses is that missing from the list are Maria Bartiromo and Erin Burnett, who last year were deemed the 69th most influential, a position they shared, in addition to the Dollar Dominatrix, who was 86 and David Einhorn, who was 87. For the second year in a row, Steve Cohen and Ben Bernanke were left off because really, what have those guys ever done? Here’s who did get named: Continue reading »
