I follow the news releases each and every day rather than read magazine articles. It really was no effort to pick up news on stocks you mentioned, as well as stocks I follow. It's what I do.

You pass my test regardless of how many stocks you have actually bought and sold.

Why? Because we agree on going beyond metrics and we don't mind a potential catalyst or event driven investment.

I also use technical analyses and generally avoid stocks hitting bottoms until the selling is exhausted.

Were you around when Mike Burry was involved with this thread? All of these thing were included in his posts. TA, shorting, event driven investing, catalysts, etc.

Mike did not refer to a dictionary to communicate.

Mike explained how he used what he learned from Buffett and Graham and others and made it his own.

Mike used every tool that he could find including technical analyses and shorting as well as the lessons from Buffett, Graham, etc.

Mike understood that times change and a successful investor needs to adopt to the environment instead of making the environment fit into neat categories.

Here's some good reading. And you better have a pick for the SI vs Buffett challenge!
