]]> Comment on Yahoo grows up, or loses its cool? by Andrew Peck http://monsterhash.com/beta/2009/exclusives/money/yahoo-grows-up-or-loses-its-cool/comment-page-1/#comment-102 Andrew Peck Sun, 28 Feb 2010 12:57:46 +0000 http://monsterhash.com/beta/?p=942#comment-102 2 small quibbles: "bespectacled" means wearing glasses, "bespeckled" suggests having been sprayed with goo. "geek to chic" is an '80s movie theme (Weird Science captures both the gist of the milieu AND Jerry Yang's quirky success), while "geek to Sheik" brings to mind another '80s pop culture genre: WWF Wrestling. Picture the nerdy WWF interviewer "Mean" Gene Okerlund (frequently referred to as a pencil-necked geek by wrestlers) turning into the turban-wearing Arab bad guy character "The Iron Sheik" and kicking the ass of Rowdy Roddy Piper in a steel cage match!!! I'd buy THAT on PPV. 2 small quibbles: “bespectacled” means wearing glasses, “bespeckled” suggests having been sprayed with goo. “geek to chic” is an ’80s movie theme (Weird Science captures both the gist of the milieu AND Jerry Yang’s quirky success), while “geek to Sheik” brings to mind another ’80s pop culture genre: WWF Wrestling.

]]> Comment on Confessions of a Day Trader, Part 4: Conclusion by Demian Perry http://monsterhash.com/beta/2009/exclusives/money/confessions-of-a-day-trader-part-4-conclusion/comment-page-1/#comment-90 Demian Perry Sun, 02 Aug 2009 12:33:40 +0000 http://monsterhash.com/wordpress/?p=682#comment-90 Sorry, I should have provided a little more background on the Shiller study. You read the graph correctly, Stephen, high PE correlates to lower returns, but the data are phase shifted ten years. So what this says is that a basket of low PE stocks will perform better than the general market over the long-term. What's most interesting about this study is that Shiller and his team found this to be the case for every decade since the 1890s. Isn't it amazing that this inefficiency never went away? There was an Economist article a few weeks back that attempted to explain this. The gist was that there is a giant paradox inherent in the Efficient Market Hypothesis: The more efficient a market becomes, the less incentive investors have to gather all the information about the assets in that market, because price captures all. But if no one is bothering to do the work, than the price will reflect less and less information, making the market less efficient. As the crowds become wise, they become lazy and lose their wisdom!

You might find it amusing that before we left Darden, I did print off ALL of the shareholder letters through 2006 and put them in a binder. I won't lie ... I haven't finished them yet.
