Mohammed goes to mountain, or manager goes to Buffet

An amusing story on seekingalpha.com has it that a young lady fund manager named Goldenberg wrote a letter to Warren Buffet about her stocks.  The letter so impressed him that he asked her to lunch — in Omaha.  She duly went and among other things showed him VRX.  Ever curious we looked at the chart. Two years.

Negative wise the trend is a year long and the stock is up over 100%.  There is always a way to manage issues like this:  wait until the high is taken out and put in a 5th of the line you intend to commit — with the other 4 tranches as the trend continues.

Stop 3% under the nearest wave low.

On the other hand if you want to buy Buffet that’s probably not a bad trade.  BRK.B.
