2007 is coming the end. During the first half the market was continuously making new highs. The second half has been volatile, creating a lot of bargains for value investors. While hunting bargains, please take some time to nominate the Investment Guru of 2007.
All of our gurus have excellent long term track records, although some of them have been hurt by the recent credit crunch. They achieved great returns in quite different ways. Joel Greenblatt and Glenn Greenberg each holds less than 8 stocks. Warren Buffett concentrates on the stocks he likes the best. David Dreman and John Keeley diversify into hundred of stocks. Martin Whitman rarely sells stocks, stocks leave his portfolio usually due to mergers or acquisitions. Robert Olstein loves to buy on bad news because he thinks that bad news creates the right prices. Bruce Sherman sticks with the things he understands the best, financials, gaming, media etc. He does not touch oil stocks even when his short term returns are sacrificed. Edward Owens achieved stellar returns by buying just health care stocks. Ken Heebner has high turnovers, but his performances have been more than outstanding. Mohnish Pabrai focuses his investment on a few “low risk, high uncertainty” stocks. Arnold Van Den Berg likes to stocks that are at 10-year rolling low P/S ratios. Ron Muhlenkamp requires his investments have higher ROE than P/E ratios…
There are a lot for us to learn…
In 2005, David Dreman was named GuruFocus Investment Guru of the Year through a poll. We nominated 4 Gurus first and ask our readers to vote. In 2006, Warren Buffett was named the investment Guru of the Year by our readers. The short term performances of the gurus are reflected in the Score Board.
Similar to 2006, this year we give all the rights of nomination to our readers. Please nominate the Guru you like the best, type his name in the comment field of this thread, give short reason if you want. The deadline for the nomination is Dec. 15. Thank you all in advance for your participation.
Please note that Warren Buffett was named the investment Guru of 2006. Although he deserves to be Guru of the year every year, please nominate a different Guru for 2007.
