I just finished watching the special on ABV about Zappos, I completely agree with the companies objectives for success. My friend and I just started a cupcake catering company in Miami and our main priority is to cater to our customer all while having a great time! I missed the CNBC interview but glad I was able to catch the ABC Nightline piece. Keep up the great work!!!!! Kudos to Mr. Hsieh.

Comment on Buffett Investing by Jay

When I first started reading Buffett, his methods made a lot of sense. Some advice from his various books:

1. Don’t diversify. Namely what you have listed above.
2. Discount cash flows using the simple risk-free rate.
3. Value and Growth investing are joined at the hip. You should be looking for prospects with incredible prospects for growth but at a good price. This concept seems simple enough, but you would be surprised at how many “professionals” and “investors” still think the two methods are different.
4. Use technicals to try and pinpoint an entry point. Yes, even Buffett professes to technicals for investing.
5. Buffett even admits that he is an anomaly amongst investors and implies that even if people mimicked what he did they may not be successful.

In addition, I find that Graham’s rules for investing the fundamental way are too strict. Buffett did as well which is why he started deviating and laxing some of Graham’s rules. Even so, I still think basing your reason for investing on fundamental decisions is flawed because of simple economics. Prices are and will always be driven by supply and demand. Fundamentals should be viewed as influencing the perception of price, not as a direct reason for it.
