Marty Whitman’s Guidelines

January 4, 2008 9:21 am by Dean Morel

In his most recent letter, Whitman offered investors some guidelines going forward. He said:

Indeed, today the opportunity of a lifetime seems to be present for passive investors who follow a few simple caveats:

1) Be a buy-and-hold investor;

2) Don’t use borrowed funds to invest;

3) Don’t own the common stocks of companies which need relatively continual access to capital markets if they are to remain going concerns.

    Points one and two are optional steps, I consider but don’t embrace them in fusion investing. Point three is great advice.
