Olu, TMF initiates coverage of my Sebl, and Berkshire. These clowns got here awful late. Don't you think? Btw Please don't bring up these clowns again...you know it irritates me.<vbg> >ALEXANDRIA, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 13, 2000--The Motley Fool today announced coverage of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A and BRK.B) and Siebel Systems (Nasdaq: SEBL), adding two new reports to its collection of best-selling company research. The latest Motley Fool Research reports reinforce the Fool's commitment to providing individual investors with in-depth analysis of the world's most relevant companies across a diverse group of industries.
The Berkshire Hathaway report takes readers inside Warren Buffett's legendary wealth-creating machine. "Warren Buffett is one of the most successful and famous investors of our generation," says Zeke Ashton, Senior Motley Fool Research Analyst and author of the report. "By looking closely at the businesses that comprise Berkshire Hathaway, investors can learn a lot about how to identify companies that have sustainable competitive advantages." The report drills down on several key areas of Berkshire's business, taking a close look at the insurance industry, examining Chairman Buffett's unmatched record as a capital allocator, and providing detailed insight into one of the market's longest-standing, most complex companies.
If the Berkshire Hathaway report paints a portrait of a market stalwart, Motley Fool's analysis of Siebel Systems might be viewed as a snapshot of a rising star. Begun just seven years ago, Siebel Systems has grown in size to more than 4,500 employees operating in 28 countries and is now a leader in the hot new "customer relationship management" software industry. Indeed, the company appears to deserve designation as a "Rule Maker," which refers to superior large-cap growth stocks that measure up to the strict criteria set by The Motley Fool's own Rule Maker Investment Strategy. "Our analysis shows that Siebel is a possible Rule Maker and primed to become the dominant player in the CRM space," says author and Motley Fool Research Analyst John Del Vecchio.
The Fool's ability to offer financial analysis and business insight that goes far beyond the annual report makes Motley Fool Research a unique and popular tool for investors and fans of business in general. Motley Fool Research is sold at www.fool.com, as well as on Multex and The Industry Standard's Intelligence Store. Its broad-based success indicates that investors find it a valuable alternative to traditional Wall Street research.
