Anybody learn anything about investing from being here lo these many years? Well, I have profited handsomely from stocks that have been recommended on this thread. i also learned quite a lot from many astute investors and that very different approaches can be successful. I think over the years i have become better investors, partly due to inspiration from this thread. For example, I have learned about reading balance sheet and cash flow statements. While I always have been a trader with a value and bottom fishing bias, i have learned that patience sometimes really pays so i am holding stocks much longer term. I guess i have developed my own style but with a lot of inspiration from other contributors from thus thread i continue to learn that there are many different faces of "value". The more i think about it, the latter is probably the most important of all the above and one of the reason why I like hanging out on this thread.

Wow, 8 years! Unbelievable. Well, happy birthday and many happy returns to all of you! :) I guess that in these 8 years I learned a lot of patience, learned to trust my DD and buy more when stock drops from the first buy price, learned to reassess business and sell, learned to sell period. I created my investing approach, which may not be ideal, but works for me so far. Added couple "subrules" to the approach to deal with various situations that I did not think about before. I believe that this thread and Buffettology thread have brought a lot of good investment ideas and discussions. Thanks to all who participated and still participate. Thanks to Mike Burry and Jim Clarke. Here's to another 8 years of value investing!

Paul & thread, I have enjoyed the dialogue over the years. It has gone fast as the site becomes part of my every day life - I get to know who the characters are; identify the personalities; and recognize the respective types of value selections per each of the posters. Thanks to everyone. This is truly a classy site. Paul & the others keep a level head and allow a mature discussion of value stocks. Here's to another great 8-years.
