“All the kids that believe in equations and rules will learn more as they get older.” Irving Kahn
It's almost unbelievable that America’s oldest value investor Irving Kahn is 107. He’ll be 108-years-old on December 19, 2013. Kahn, in his early days, was a teaching assistant to Benjamin Graham at Columbia Business School. Chairman of Kahn Brothers Group, Irving Kahn has been following the market highs and lows starting before the Great Depression. With these remarkable 84 years of investing comes wisdom. Here’s a look at what the truly wise elder Guru Irving Kahn is trading as of March 31, 2013.
Nam Tai Electronics (NTE, Financial)

The increase was attributable to new production of high-resolution liquid crystal displays for smartphones. Due to high competition and weak consumer demand in the market for smart phones, tablets, and ultrabook computers, the company expects its gross profit to be under pressure for the remainder of 2013. The company’s net income for the first quarter of 2013 was reported at $4.9 million, compared to a loss of $3.6 million in the same quarter a year ago.
