To learn more about Larry Robbins and his firm Glenview Capital, please read the Latest Issue of Graham and Doddsville. Some excerpts of the interview:


"U.S. corporations came into 2010 with $1.4 trillion in cash … Companies were initially sitting with all the cash, feeling good, thinking that no matter what happened, they could pull Albert Pojols off the bench..."


"Every six months we have a "what grows" session in which we take a giant step back and say, "we're not venture capitalists, we're not smart enough to figure out who's the next Facebook or the next Groupon, but where's the growth going to come from over the next 3, 5, 10 years secularly, and how can we position ourselves to take advantage."


"There are only two things that matter in investing. What are they going to earn, and what multiple are people going to put on that. Let's not make our business any more complicated than this."


"Starting out in the hedge fund business, I spent ten times the amount of time evaluating an investment that I did interviewing a person. And yet, a giant step back, that person will impact ten, twenty, thirty stocks in your portfolio, so you should do much more diligence on that person than you do on any individual investment."


"You really can prove to yourself whether you know something or not if you can give a fiveminute elevator pitch. If you cannot summarize a complex situation in a three-to-five minute discussion, you do not really understand it."
