Here are Ben’s comments about the notes he took.
I took notes from the 2010 Value Investing Congress that took place in Pasadena last week. After 33+ pages and 18,000 words I hope I got just about everything down. The speakers covered a wide range of topics and offered a number of compelling investment opportunities from all over the world. Please feel free to pass these along to anyone and everyone. I got permission from both Whitney Tilson and John Schwartz to post these and send them out.
