Stingy Investor - Norm Rothery, a financial consultant, compiles links to various value investing articles appearing on the web.
Bylo Selhi - Bylo is the nom de plume of a self-described “fund industry gadfly”, frequent contributor to the Financial Webring Forum and passive investor. Be sure to check out his Dilbert on Investing page. It is a hoot.
Money Managers:
Value Investigator - Irwin Michael, a deep-value manager runs the ABC Fund and explains why he bought a particular stock, ongoing commentary on his holdings and why he exited a position. He also writes articles on his investment philosophy.
Leith Wheeler is a Vancouver-based money manager with a value-investing bent. Their quarterly outlook is worth checking out.
Phillips, Hager & North, a well-regarded investing firm, publishes articles from their quarterly reports on their website.
