one or more of the new guys here ... ought to be able to get this kind of success too

In terms of returns, probably. In terms of opening a mutual/hedge fund, it's not so easy.

Looking at his holdings, it looks like he's holding a number of dinky large-caps (e.g. BRK ;))) that have not performed well recently. I would have hard time holding 7-10% positions in most of these, not counting BRK.

re ABH - nice flush today - maybe it's Mr. Chou selling <g>. I bought some more at 20.8$ and 20.41$.

Paper is a volatile business but I like that ABH is almost debt free and trading at 1/2 tangible book. Typically, book value after a bankruptcy is not overstated since management has no incentive to start in a bad position (exception may be if there is political pressure like with GM or AIG).

20% of ABH's volumes go to Asia nowadays.
