Editors Commentary
Welcome to another superinvestor issue of Portfolio Managers Review. Some
of the most highly regarded value-oriented investment managers have filed their
quarterly 13F-HR forms, and we are pleased to bring you their top ideas. As we have
done each quarter, we list the top holdings of selected investors, both ranked by
position size as well as by what we call Signal Rank. The latter draws on our
proprietary methodology for identifying the current top ideas of the superinvestors
we track. Look inside for more information on Signal Rank.
We highlight the following five ideas as worthy of further investigation:

Fair Isaac (FICO) is 20%-owned by Mason Hawkins Southeastern Asset
Management, which has added to its stake in recent months. Fair Isaac has leveraged
the success of the industry-leading FICO credit score brand to create products in
related areas and non-financial verticals. These diversification efforts as well as a
variable cost structure have dampened the impact of lower demand for high-margin
credit scores. FICO continues to be a fundamentally attractive business with low
capital intensity, good normalized margins, and a strong competitive position.
Longer term, it remains to be seen how successful the FICO score will be in terms of
beating back challenges from rival products. We suspect that the brief window of
opportunity that opened up for competing products as a result of the credit cisis may
be shut before competitors are able to challenge the supremacy of the FICO brand. In
any case, with FICO shares trading at a 10+% FCF yield in a still below-normal
operating environment, we believe the shares are too cheap to ignore.
Hyatt Hotels (H), the owner and operator of hotel properties worldwide, was
taken public last November by the controlling Pritzker family. Hyatt owns, leases,
manages or franchises 120,000 rooms in 415 hotels. Despite investment bankers
clamoring for the deal, the IPO appears to have exhibited some of the characteristics
of undersold offerings. Recent GAAP financials neither reflect the companys true
earning power nor the intrinsic value of the hospitality assets. The investment case
for Hyatt is distinguished by the high asset backing, a net cash position, and an
interested and active owner in the Pritzkers. The company should be able to create
long-term value by franchising and growing the Hyatt brand in global markets. Bill
Ackmans Pershing Square Capital Management purchased a 6% ownership stake
following the IPO. Whether Ackman will seek to convince the Pritzkers of the
virtues of splitting Hyatt into a real estate-owning entity and a hotel-operating-and-
franchising entity remains to be seen. At a valuation of 1.1x tangible book value
stated at historical cost, we find the shares quite compelling.
Investors Title Company (ITIC) is 10%-owned by Tom Gayner of Markel.
ITIC is a title insurer providing a non-discretionary service for real estate industry
participants, primarily along the U.S. East Coast. As residential and commercial real
estate transactions drive demand for title insurance, business has suffered in the real
estate downturn. Despite the challenges facing the company, tangible book value per
share would be up 50% since yearend 2004 if dividends were added back. While this
may point to a potential issue surrounding loss reserve adequacy, management has
strengthened provisions materially in the past three years. At 0.8x tangible book
value, Investors Title shares appear undervalued based on prospects for an eventual
recovery in real estate transaction volumes and/or pricing. The thesis for Investors
Title is quite similar to our thesis for Stewart Information Services (STC), which we
outlined in the January issue of Portfolio Managers Review.
Republic Airways (RJET) is 10%-owned by David Einhorns Greenlight
Capital. Republic has undergone a transformation over the past twelve months,
acquiring two established but distressed branded airlines who were also Republic
customersFrontier in Dallas and Midwest in Milwaukee. The purchases add a
branded, risk-based model to the traditional business of flying for major network
carriers under their brands. The latter model eliminated Republics exposure to fuel
prices, fares and load factors, giving it a stable pre-tax profit margin. While Republic
retains the fixed-fee business, growth is likely to be driven by branded operations.
The new business mix may have prompted some holders to sell, as Republics
shareholder base had been conditioned to view the company more as a fixed-margin
service business than an airline business. The turnover in the shareholder base
provides an opportunity to buy a well-run, profitable and cash-generative business at
an unreasonably cheap price. We note that only $85 million of $2.7 billion in debt on
Republics balance sheet is recourse to the company. Unrestricted cash amounts to
roughly $5 per share, approaching the recent market price.
British mobile telephony giant Vodafone (VOD) is a new holding of David

Einhorns Greenlight Capital. Vodafone shares offer a 6% dividend yield, supported
by the companys free cash flow even before Vodafones 45% stake in Verizon
Wireless is considered. The minority interest in Verizon Wireless, the number-one
U.S. mobile operator, may be Vodafones single most valuable asset. However, as
Vodafones operating cash flow does not include a contribution from Verizon
Wirelessbecause no cash dividend is being paid to Vodafonethe market may be
ignoring this valuable asset when valuing Vodafone on the basis of reported FCF.
Revaluation of Vodafone shares could occur following a potential resumption of
cash distributions from Verizon Wireless some time this year. Regardless of how
Verizon Wireless and other unconsolidated assets are monetized, a sum-of-the-parts
analysis suggests that the market may be valuing Vodafone at 4x trailing EBITDA.
This strikes us as too low given the companys strong share in key mobile markets,
growth prospects in emerging markets, and margin improvement potential.
In addition to the above five investment ideas and scores of others, we are also
pleased to bring you three interviews in this issue of Portfolio Managers Review
with Ori Eyal, Aaron Edelheit, and Marko Vucemilovic. We were able to glean some
truly unique insights from these value-oriented investors who manage funds that are
somewhat smaller in size than those of the superinvestors we track. As a result, these
three investors are in a position to uncover value opportunistically across the market
capitalization spectrum. I believe youll enjoy their insights.
Sincerely,
John Mihaljevic, CFA

holdings of some of the worlds top investors. We look for investors top ten ideas right now? Rather than simply
investors who have amassed impressive track records over presenting each investors largest holdings as of the recently
long periods of time. We choose these investors carefully filed quarter end, the MOIs proprietary methodology ranks
to avoid the noise inherent in most 13F-HR filings. the companies in each investors portfolio based on the
investors current level of conviction in each holding, as
Top investors included in this section: judged by the MOI.
William Ackman, Pershing Square Our proprietary methodology takes into account
Zeke Ashton, Centaur a number of variables, including the size of a position in an
Brian Bares, Bares Capital investors portfolio, the size of a position relative to the
Bruce Berkowitz, Fairholme
market value of the corresponding company, the most recent
Richard Breeden, Breeden Capital
quarterly change in the number of shares owned, and the
Warren Buffett, Berkshire Hathaway
change in the stock price of a position since the most recent

David Einhorn, Greenlight quarterly filing date.
Glenn Greenberg, Brave Warrior For example, an investor might have the most
Tom Gayner, Markel Gayner conviction in a position that is only the tenth-largest
Mason Hawkins, Southeastern position in such investors portfolio. This might be the case
Chris Hohn, Childrens Investment Fund if an investor invests in a small company, resulting in a

holding that is simply too small to rank highly based on size

alone. On the other hand, such a holding might represent
Eddie Lampert, RBS (ESL)
19.9% of the shares outstanding of the subject company,
Dan Loeb, Third Point
Steve Mandel, Lone Pine suggesting a high level of conviction. Our estimate of the
Mohnish Pabrai, Pabrai Funds conviction level would rise further if the subject company
Bryant Riley, Riley Investment has a 20% poison-pill threshold, thereby suggesting that the
Prem Watsa, Fairfax investor has bought as much of the subject company as is
Wally Weitz, Weitz Funds practically feasible.

Bill Ackman, Pershing Square
Bill Ackman, managing member of Pershing Square Capital, is a value-oriented activist investor. He runs a concentrated
portfolio with the largest ten equity investments accounting for the vast majority of his long book. Before the credit crunch
developed into a full-blown economic crisis, Ackman made a strong case for why MBIA (MBI) and AMBAC (ABK) were
overvalued and fundamentally more distressed than the market had judged at the time. On the long side, Ackman has
approached large companies, including McDonalds (MCD) and Target (TGT), with proposals for unlocking value.

Bruce Berkowitz, Fairholme
Bruce Berkowitz, manager of The Fairholme Fund, has been one of the most successful value-oriented investors of the past
decade. From inception on December 29, 1999 through December 31, 2009, The Fairholme Fund delivered a cumulative

Ian Cumming & Joe Steinberg, Leucadia
Chairman Cumming and President Steinberg describe their approach to managing a public investment vehicle in their 2008
letter: We tend to be buyers of assets and companies that are troubled or out of favor and as a result are selling substantially
below the values, which we believe, are there. From time to time, we sell parts of these operations when prices available in
the market reach what we believe to be advantageous levels. While we are not perfect in executing this strategy, we are proud
of our long-term track record. We are not income statement driven and do not run your company with an undue emphasis on
either quarterly or annual earnings. We believe we are conservative in our accounting practices and policies and that our
balance sheet is conservatively stated.

activist, most notably forcing the resignation of the CEO of Deutsche Boerse after he refused to abandon a proposed takeover
of the London Stock Exchange. Hohn also agitated for a sale of ABN Amro, ultimately pushing it into the hands of RBS.

Exclusive Interview with Aaron Edelheit
We recently had the pleasure of interviewing Aaron

Edelheit of Sabre Value Asset Management, a value-
oriented investment firm founded in 1998. The firm
manages the Sabre Value Fund and two distressed real
estate funds. Edelheit graduated with a B.B.A. in
finance from the University of Georgia in 1996. He is a
philanthropist and serves on the board of directors of
the Moishe House Foundation. Edelheit maintains an
online blog at aaronedelheit.com, which we have found Aaron Edelheit

educational and thought-provoking. Since June 1998,
Edelheit has reported a compounded annual net return in excess of 12%.

does your approach differ from some other value-oriented strategies?

MOI: You have at times put in writing your thesis on your favorite ideas, both
long and short. Lets take a look at some of what youve written and extract
lessons that may help us become better investors. In April 2009, when Sprott
Resource (Toronto: SCP), an investment firm controlled by respected
Canadian investor Eric Sprott, traded at C$2.65 per share, you wrote, What if I
told you there was a company out there that was predominantly sitting in cash,
gold and silver bullion with no debt, whose tangible book value is
approximately C$3.50 per share, with little expenses, that was selling for C$2.65
per share? Better yet, what if I told you that it is run by one of the best resource
investors around, who has a proven record for making investors money and has
increased book value from $1.50 to over $3.50 in two years? Many investors
reading your argument might have said, Yes, I see that SCP is undervalued on a
sum-of-the-parts basis, but what is the catalyst to unlocking value? Cant the
discount persist indefinitely? Eight months later, SCP traded at more than C$4
per share, with additional upside looking likely due to value creation in the
interim. When dealing with investment vehicles such as SCP, how do you
decide what discount to net asset value is sufficiently compelling, and how do
you avoid the entities that do trade at wide discounts to NAV for a long time?
Edelheit: Sprott was a compelling investment because it was trading at $2.65
per share, had $3 per share of cash and gold bullion and another $0.50 per share
of investments with no debt. Insiders were buying like mad and the company
was buying back stock as aggressively as it could. The key to this not being a
value trap is that the company was buying back 10% of its stock a year (still is)
and there were no losses taking away that value. The catalyst was the buybacks
and further investments that Sprott had made increasing the book value past
$3.50, which they have done.
Every time I see insider MOI: You also wrote the following about Sprott Resource in April 2009:
buying on the way up, the While the market may not be buying, insiders sure are. The Chairman, Eric
Sprott, has bought 631,200 shares in the last four months and the CEO, Kevin
stock has always followed.
Bambrough, has bought 412,000 shares. And they have done this buying despite
already owning large stakes. How important is the existence of insider buying
to your stock selection process? Do you use it primarily as confirmatory
evidence or do you also screen for new ideas based on whos buying their own
stock?
Edelheit: Insider buying is very important. But it is critical when you see insider
buying is happening as the stock goes up. Every time I see insider buying on the
way up, the stock has always followed. I do both, use it as a confirmatory piece
of evidence and use it to generate ideas.
MOI: You provided the following update on your valuation analysis of Sprott
Resource (Toronto: SCP) in January 2010:
$/CAD # of units $ per unit Total value
Cash $41,364,405
Gold (oz) 1.06 73,971 $1,100 $86,250,186
Public Equities $25,989,024
Minority stakes in private firms $18,978,480
Waseca 73,640,000 $0.60 $44,184,000
Stonegate Agricom 63,600,000 $0.50 $31,800,000
One Earth Farms 30,000,000 $1.00 $30,000,000
Orion Oil & Gas (OIP) 229,000,000 $1.50 $343,500,000
Cash From Warrants 16,594,284 $4.25 $70,525,707
Fully Diluted S/O 113,953,284 $6.08 per share
If Orion Oil & Gas (OIP) is at $0.50 per share $4.07 per share
$1.00 per share $5.07 per share
Obviously, as the table shows, the stake in Orion Oil & Gas (Toronto:
OIP) accounts for a large portion of SCPs intrinsic value. How do you think
about the fair value of Oriondoes the recent market price of C$1.50 per share
accurately reflect intrinsic value?
Edelheit: I think it does reflect intrinsic value. Orion is a fast growing
exploration and production, energy company focused on Alberta, Canada and
has 2,650 boe/d of production on its way to 7,000 boe/d of production by years
end. Orion has 18 million barrels of oil equivalent (MBoe) in proven and
probable reserves and is about 45% light oil and 55% natural gas.
There are number of ways to try and value OIP, which is important
since it is the biggest piece of the valuation of Sprott. The two I am focused on
is on a multiple of debt-adjusted cash flow for 2010 and on an enterprise value
to reserves.
Orion currently trades for around 7 times cash flow for 2010. On a
multiple of cash flow it appears a bit expensive compared to many other
Canadian juniors, which trade for 4-5 times multiples to cash flow, but Orion, is
growing really fast, much faster than comps. It should grow its production this
year 180% from beginning of the year to year-end. Further, it has little or no

recurring revenue stream while a legacy revenue stream might be declining.
What is attractive about these kinds of companies, both in terms of the
fundamental shift as well as the markets inability to value them properly?
Edelheit: Wall Street and investors love recurring revenue models and rightfully
so. When a business has a high degree of predictability, investors give it a higher
multiple. When a company can shift or enter into a business that allows it to go
from selling products to selling products and a service it can become very
powerful, as investors are sometimes slow to appreciate it. You can have years
of great returns from one stock based on such a change.
MOI: What parallels do you see between the opportunity in KVH Industries
(Nasdaq: KVHI) and your experience with CAM Commerce?
Edelheit: My experience with CADA (used to be CAM Commerces symbol,
was bought out in 2008) is what made me so excited about KVHI. CADA sold
glorified cash registers, or point of sale systems. This was a crappy low margin
hardware business that the company struggled in. They had about 10,000 of
these systems installed in mom and pop retailers, when they developed a
payment processing system to process credit card and check transactions. They
went to their mom and pop retailers and said use us and we will group all of you
together and save you 20% on your payment processing cost as if you were a big
retailer. To the mom and pop retailer, this was a no brainer, you just save
money. To CADA, they got 50 basis points, or 0.5 cents of every $1 that got
transacted. Suddenly, CADA had a cash cow of a business growing at leaps and
bounds. When I first discovered CADA, the old hardware business was
disguising the new payment processing business. The stock went from $12 to
$40, where it was bought out three years later.
Fast forward to today and KVHI, which historically made antennas for
leisure marine boats and RVs to get satellite TV. You can imagine how good the
RV and leisure marine boat business was in 2008 and 2009terrible. Those
businesses were down 50% to 77%! This tremendous decline was masking that
KVH had developed antennae to get broadband internet in the middle of the
ocean for a fraction of the cost of existing alternatives. Further, KVH was now
offering not only the antennae, but the monthly service of providing the Internet
to shipping companies, the Coast Guard and oil service boats as well. Suddenly,
KVH has a recurring revenue business.

and it hurt a lot. It just depends on the opportunity.
MOI: How do you generate investment ideas?
Edelheit: Insider buying, spin-offs, turnarounds, restructurings and reading
what other really smart money managers are doing.
MOI: The art of portfolio management often takes a backseat to the art of
security selection, but the former is just as important. Can you shed light on your
approach to portfolio management, touching on portfolio concentration,
leverage, and short selling?
Edelheit: I dont use any leverage. Im mostly long. I do some short selling,
though it is currently only 20% of the portfolio. I have very concentrated
portfolios and focus my investment research and know my companies well.
MOI: Late 2008 and early 2009 presented many challenges for value investors
but also threw up some of the best bargains in a long time. How did the
volatility affect your investment process, and have you tweaked your approach
in any way as a result of last years experience?
Edelheit: I learned a lot from 2008 and 2009. I made a couple of mistakes that
really hurt. First, thinking that just because you dont invest in levered
companies and you yourself dont use leverage, doesnt make you immune to
the stupidity and craziness of what other people are doing. Second, buying on
the way down was a terrible practice that I just wont repeat going forward. I
bought too early and too aggressively. Third, when a company disappoints move
on, do not linger. I lingered with one investment and it hurt a lot.
MOI: What is the single biggest mistake that keeps investors from reaching
their goals?
Edelheit: Themselves. For investors, the combination of emotion, fear of loss,
greed for gain, how your brain works are all so important and few pay attention
to it. I think knowing yourselfwhat are your weaknesses and your strengths
is critical to being a good investor. I work on it every day.
MOI: Are there any off-the-beaten path books that have made you a better
investor?
I just read a fantastic book
Edelheit: I just read a fantastic book called The First Tycoon, by T.J. Stiles,
called The First Tycoon, by
about Cornelius Vanderbilt. There were many lessons and ideas I drew from the
T.J. Stiles, about Cornelius
book about what made him so successful, and I think there is a lot to learn about
Vanderbilt. history as well.
MOI: You maintain a blog at aaronedelheit.com, in which you explore the
stock market, faith, Tikkun Olam and humor in no particular order. For those
unfamiliar with the phrase Tikkun Olam, could you explain its meaning and
significance to you?
Edelheit: Tikkun Olam is the Jewish belief of repairing the world. The idea is it
is each one of our jobs to help in our own way to help heal a broken world. For
me this means being a better person, volunteering and doing acts of charity with
money and time. It is very important to me and helps drive me in how hard I
work on a daily basis. This way there is more for me to give back to others.
MOI: Aaron, thank you very much for your time.

you to start your own investment firm, Emerging Value Capital Management, in

large margin of safety, and Ever since, I have been on a journey to learn from the masters of value
the power of compounding investing and to develop my global value investing framework. I earned my
over time. MBA at the University of Chicagos Booth School of Business in 2006. I
worked for Deutsche Bank as an analyst at one of their global investing funds. I
also interned for several hedge funds, including Deephaven and Aquamarine.
In 2008, after a decade of developing and practicing my global value
investing framework, I finally felt ready to launch my own fund, Emerging
Value Capital Management (EVCM). EVCM is a long-biased global value fund.
At EVCM, I strive to integrate my global value investing framework with the
best practices and ideas from the value investors I have studied. My life savings
are invested in EVCM fund so I eat my own cooking.
MOI: What are the key insights youve gleaned from Guy Spier, either in terms
of running a fund or selecting investments? Do you share Guys views regarding
the importance of checklists?
Eyal: I was very fortunate to work for Guy Spier at Aquamarine Fund while
studying for my MBA. Guy Spier is an extremely talented and thoughtful
investor who looks at the world as one global integrated market. Using his deep
insights into how the world operates, and his latticework of mental models, Guy
has been able to successfully identify and invest in some of the worlds greatest
businesses.
At one point, Guy and I traveled to Israel together and we went to visit
and research about 15 undiscovered companies in Israel. In some cases I think
we were the first international investors that had ever visited them. Watching
Guy interact with the management teams of these companies was a key learning
event for me. He has the ability to quickly develop rapport with everyone in the
room and get to the main business issues that each company faces. By the time
the meeting is over, Guy has a better understanding of the business than the
company management team does. Furthermore, Guy intuitively understands the
people running the company, their motives, and their likely future behavior.
Working for Guy helped me develop my global value investing
framework. He taught me how to analyze great businesses and how to approach
and interact with company management teams. He has been a great mentor, role
model, and friend over the years. When I launched EVCM fund, Guy Spier was
my biggest supporter and my first investor.
MOI: You state that one of the main tenets of your investment strategy is
global value investing. Can you elaborate on how this approach guides the
construction of the EVCM portfolio?
Eyal: Even today, most value investing takes place in the U.S. and is applied to
U.S. stocks. Having an international background, I became convinced that value

worst.
Portfolio construction is a bottom-up process driven by where I find the
best investment opportunities at any given time. I dont have a target allocation
for any specific country. Rather, I keep my idea radar open for opportunities
around the world in both developed and emerging countries. I search the world
for the best investment opportunities and use them to construct the portfolio.
MOI: What are the main benefits of your global value investing approach? How
do you weigh these against the risks of investing in non-U.S. markets?
Eyal: There are a few key benefits that EVCM fund expects to gain from global
investing. These are currency diversification, exposure to emerging markets
consumers, a larger investment opportunity set (more stocks and bonds to
choose from) and less efficient asset prices (more mispriced assets to invest in).
The Euro, the U.S. Dollar, the British Pound, and the Japanese Yen all
face severe problems, making it difficult to determine which developed market
currency is the worst. In general, I think that emerging market and commodity
based currencies are likely to appreciate over time versus developed market
currencies. Global investing allows me to diversify EVCM funds exposures
between developed market currencies and, when possible, to shift our exposure
from developed to emerging market currencies. In the best of cases, I can find
investments in emerging markets where I expect to make a strong return both
from the asset itself and from the local currency appreciating over time.
The growth in the number and in the wealth of emerging market
consumers is one of the most powerful secular investment themes of which I am
aware. As the emerging markets population urbanizes, it rapidly embraces
capitalism, creates wealth for itself, and increases its purchasing power. To
profit from this trend I seek to invest in businesses that sell to emerging market
consumers. Companies that I own that sell to emerging market consumers
include Willi Food (Nasdaq: WILC), Plaza Centers (London: PLAZ), China
Marine (Amex: CMFO), Zhongpin (Nasdaq: HOGS), ChinaCast Education
(Nasdaq: CAST), Fuqi International (Nasdaq: FUQI), Hilan Tech (Tel
Aviv: HLTC), Nestle (OTC: NSRGY), and Philip Morris (NYSE: PM).
I carefully weigh many qualitative and quantitative factors when
choosing in which countries EVCM fund should invest. It is of critical
importance that we invest in stable countries with regimes that respect foreign
investors and the rule of law. I also prefer to invest in countries that have
embraced capitalism and have relatively free markets. I think the U.S., China,
Brazil, Australia, Canada, Mexico, Israel, South Korea, Europe (West and East),
Taiwan, Singapore, and Hong Kong are fairly attractive investment destinations.
Japan faces structural and cultural obstacles that make me reluctant to invest

Conference, The Rodman & Renshaw Global Investment Conference, etc. And
perhaps most importantly, I regularly talk with other smart fund managers and
discuss ideas.
Once I find an investment idea that looks interesting I do independent
in-depth research and analysis. Every idea must pass four tests (or filters) before
it can be added to the portfolio. Is it within my circle of competence, is it a good
business with permanent competitive advantages, is management capable,
honest, and shareholder friendly, and is it extraordinarily cheap?
Circle of competence: Do I understand the business and industry? Can I
reasonably predict its future prospects and cash flows?
Quality of business: What are the competitive advantages of the
business? What are the expected long-term ROE and ROA? Can the business
grow profitably without requiring too much capital? Is the balance sheet strong?
What are the industry dynamics? What is the long-term outlook for the industry
and the business? Is the business recession resistant?
Management: Are they competent, shareholder friendly, and good
capital allocators? Have they created shareholder value in the past?
Price: How cheap is the business? Is there a large margin of safety?
How much can I lose? Favorable risk/reward?
MOI: Since your fund is based in New York, what is your process for getting to
know non-U.S. companies? Do you try to visit their operations on the ground?
Eyal: New York is the business capital of the world, and most management
teams visit New York at least once or twice a year. Having my office in New
York allows me to meet with them when they get here.
I consider visiting companies on a case-by-case basis. Large companies
(both U.S.-based and international) tend to be well researched by many analysts
and it is often a waste of time to be the 100th analyst that visits them just to hear
the same story they told everyone else. On the other hand, small companies

MOI: Can you share a few investments that best reflect your approach?
Eyal: In October of 2008 EVCM fund invested in Plaza Centers (London:
PLAZ). I also wrote my investors about Plaza Centers in my monthly letter (see
EVCM October 2008 letter to investors) 1. Plaza Centers is a leading developer
of western-style (mid to high end) retail centers (shopping and entertainment) in
Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), including Romania, Poland, Czech Republic,
Hungary, Serbia, Latvia, Bulgaria, Greece, and also in India. Plaza Centers has a
strong 12-year track record of profitably developing shopping and entertainment
centers in these regions.
At the time I made the investment, real estate, Eastern Europe, India,
and shopping malls were all out of favor and no investor wanted any part of
them. So you can image how much the market disliked a company that was
exposed to all four of these factors. Contrary to the popular wisdom at that time,
I believed that Eastern Europe and India would continue their long-term
emergence and growth. They both have ever larger and wealthier middle classes
that use and will continue to demand the high-end western-style shopping and
entertainment centers developed by Plaza Centers.

Plaza is run by a skilled and experienced management team with a long
history of creating shareholder value. Plazas competitive advantages include a
well regarded brand name, an extensive network of business partners (including
leading retailers that rent stores in its shopping malls), strong project execution
skills, country specific experience, and good access to capital. Unlike many
competing real-estate developers that entered 2008 highly leveraged and unable
to finance their project pipe-lines, Plaza Centers has plenty of cash and little
company-level debt. Plaza Centers launches each new project as a separate
company, using non-recourse project debt, and it seeks to pre-let its properties
prior to completion.
While most real estate developers choose to record mark-to-market
profits on their real-estate development projects based on third party value
assessments (which almost always prove to be too optimistic), Plaza Centers has
conservatively chosen to record all of its real estate development projects at
historical purchase cost. This means that book value for Plaza Centers is a real
number giving us a conservative estimate of the true value of their real estate
development projects.
When EVCM fund invested, Plaza Centers was trading at about 1/3 of
book value, with book value conservatively calculated using historical purchase
costs. A conservative estimate for the companys intrinsic value would be at
least book value, probably much more. The stock is up about 150% since

received designations as a China Top Brand, Famous Brand of Guangdong,
and Well-known Brand of China Jewelry Industry. In China, jewelry is
viewed more as a necessity than as a luxury good. Demand for jewelry is
embedded in the Chinese culture and it is considered customary to bring jewelry
gifts to events such as weddings and childbirths.
We have all heard about frauds and misbehaviors in some Chinese
companies so it is important to note that Fuqi is a well managed company. It is
listed in the U.S. and is subject to SEC oversight and reporting requirements.
Fuqis auditor is Stonefield Josephson, an internationally recognized accounting
firm based in California with a satellite office in Hong Kong. Stonefield

several times and was favorably impressed.

When EVCM fund first invested in Fuqi, its market cap was about $90
million. At the time, it had $34 million of net cash, $50 million of inventory
(mostly gold), $50 million of accounts receivable (average collection period is
45 days), and no debt. It was trading for much less than its working capital! The
stock then went up about 500% and I sold our position. Recently the shares have
declined under $17 and EVCM fund is slowly buying again. Today, Fuqi trades
for less than 10x 2009 net income and still has a fortress balance sheet and
amazing growth prospects in China.
My third example is an Israeli company that trades on the Tel-Aviv
stock exchange. Hilan Tech (Tel Aviv: HLTC) is Israels leading payroll
processing and reporting service provider. U.S. investors might think of it as the
ADP of Israel. The company provides an array of solutions for organizations:
payroll, human resources, time and attendance, and pension administration.
Hilan Tech possesses the most advanced and comprehensive system of
its kind in Israel, providing services to 700 organizations and companies, which
together employ over 500,000 employees.
Payroll processing and HR services is the core of Hilan Techs
business. It comprises about 60% of company revenues and 85% of operating
profits. Customers in this business segment are very sticky since it would
require a lot of time, effort, and expense to switch service providers. It is a
predictable, slow growth business which generates a lot of recurring free cash

an almost 60% pre-tax return on equity.
Current market cap is 280 million ILS. Enterprise value is about 300
million ILS. So we are paying about 6x enterprise value to operating income.
That is a cheap price for such a high-quality cash flow generative business. Keep
in mind that capital expenditure requirements are minimal. Dividend yield is
about 6.5%. I think it is reasonable to expect dividend growth of 10%+ per year
for the foreseeable future. I also like the underlying exposure to the Israeli
Shekel, as I think it has strong fundamentals and is likely to appreciate over time
versus the major developed market currencies.
MOI: What is your reasoning behind holding a large cash position? Tell us
more about your risk management framework, including the use of cash, short
positions or other hedges.
Eyal: Risk management and capital preservation are my number one job.
Making money is only my night job. Capital preservation does not mean that
everything I buy always goes up right away (I wish that it did). Rather, it means
that I make a great effort to avoid permanent losses of capital. It also means that
I construct my investment portfolio in such a way that minimizes the risk that
multiple investment positions will all experience a permanent loss of capital due
to one event, misfortune, or mistake.
A permanent loss of capital occurs when I make an investment and
after its stock declines I discover that the intrinsic business value of the
investment is actually worth less than I first thought. Permanent losses of capital
are extremely painful to me and I do everything I can to avoid them. In contrast,
a temporary loss of capital occurs when a stock that I own declines even though
the intrinsic value of the underlying business remains unchanged. While also
painful, temporary losses of capital often allow me to buy more of a stock that I
like for an even cheaper price.
At the individual position level I limit risk and avoid permanent losses
of capital by conducting in-depth research on each investment; sizing each
position based on its risk/reward profile; demanding a large margin of safety for
each investment; investing only within my circle of competence; seeking to
invest in good businesses with durable competitive advantages; preferring
experienced and shareholder friendly management teams; and periodically
reviewing and re-assessing the investment thesis for each of my investments.
At the portfolio level I limit risk and avoid permanent loss of capital by
holding cash or other placeholders when there are few good investment ideas;
occasionally selling short stocks or stock indexes (or using put options); using
little or no leverage; seeking to reasonably diversify our investments across four
dimensions: investment types (cheap growth, special situation, great business,

MOI: Shifting gears a bit, what would you say is the single biggest mistake that
keeps investors from reaching their goals?
Eyal: The key to long-term wealth creation is not earning high returns. Rather, it
is earning good returns while avoiding (or minimizing) the blow-ups. The
biggest mistake that investors make is not investing in a conservative enough
manner.
The world is a dangerous place for capital. Inflation, expropriation,
revolution, currency devaluation, industry declines, wars, natural disasters,
depressions, market meltdowns, black swans, theft, fraud, and taxes all pose a
constant and lurking threat to growing (or even just maintaining) wealth over
time. In any given year, the probability of disaster is small. But over many years
and decades anything that can go wrong eventually will.

As long as we can stay in the game, the long-term power of
compounding will work in our favor. A 10% real annual return will multiply our
money over 117 times in 50 years. But having even one single year with
catastrophic losses undoes years of great performance. Simply put, the key to
amassing wealth over time is avoiding catastrophic losses and never having to
start over from scratch. When things go wrong, we can avoid catastrophic losses
only by investing conservatively and without leverage. Conservative investing is
like insuranceit seems like a waste of money until something bad happens and
then you are glad to have it.
I see funds that use leverage (either at the portfolio level or by investing
in highly levered companies), and I see funds that are too concentrated. Over the
long run, leverage and excessive concentration usually end badly. I think that
eventually most investors agree that having about 20 long positions is the correct
compromise between over-concentration and over-diversification. Some
investors just take longer than others to reach that conclusion.
MOI: Are there any books on value investing, particularly globally oriented
investing, that you have found valuable but investors may not be broadly
familiar with?
Eyal: Reading voraciously is a characteristic that all great investors share in

world than to read great books.

Exclusive Interview with Marko Vucemilovic
We recently had the pleasure of interviewing hedge

fund manager Marko Vucemilovic, founder of Alkar
Global, a value-oriented investment firm that invests in
both emerging and developed markets. Vucemilovic
has been investing internationally for about a decade
and is frequently on the road, visiting emerging market
economies worldwide. Born in Croatia and educated at
Harvard and Wharton, he manages Alkar Global out of Marko Vucemilovic
New York City. Prior to founding Alkar in early 2009, Alkar Global
Vucemilovic was an analyst and portfolio manager at
Tiedemann Investment Group.

your firm.

market.
biggest upside in the coming decades. That was about ten years ago, exactly at
the time when emerging markets seemed to have hit an inflection point, clearly
very fortuitous timing, although the pace at which these countries have evolved
since then has exceeded my expectations.
As I continued to hone my investment skill I became increasingly
interested in analyzing stocks in developed markets. I felt it was inefficient to
constrain ones field of operation since the same time-tested investment
principles applied across different asset classes. As a result, I launched Alkar
Global. The firm is based in New York and runs a value-based global long/short
equities strategy on behalf of U.S. and European clients. Typically, about half of
our capital is invested in emerging markets and the other half in the U.S. and
Europe.
MOI: You grew up in Croatia at a time when it was part of communist
Yugoslavia and lived through significant political and economic upheavals. How
has that experience shaped you as an investor?
Vucemilovic: In several ways. Quite simply, a rapidly changing surrounding
tends to sharpen ones survival instincts. Growing up in what could be described
as an unstable geography taught me that a lot if not most of what we take for
granted is actually quite brittle and constantly evolving. Dogmas are like market
momentum; with time they start to seem absolute and everlasting, until they
exhaust themselves and are rapidly replaced by some entirely different
framework which then goes through the same cycle. The more frequent and
profound the experience of this process, the more pragmatic and less reliant on
accepted, conventional wisdom one becomes. I think this is quite useful in
global investing. At Alkar we observe the macro or industry picture and try to be
cognizant of the direction and the magnitude of prevalent market biases because
they are bound to be cyclical.
Another result of my early experiences is that I am quite comfortable
investing pretty much anywhere where I see a good opportunity. For example, to
a skeptic, the perceived risk of emerging markets investing can seem daunting.
The ebbs and flows of their economies appear utterly chaotic and unreliable.
However, there is certain logic and structure to every society and every sector
has value-creating businesses that are able to navigate through it. Knowing what
it was like to live in one such emerging market helps me observe global
markets with a more discerning eye. When I read about investors putting their

on areas with the optimal effort on areas with the optimal risk/reward. Our approach is also based on a
risk/reward. belief that the market is a lot more efficient at valuing individual companies than
sectors or asset classes. We therefore tend to spend a good portion of our
research effort on the big picture, or sectors and geographies and their long-
term value drivers. What drives long-term value creation? From top to bottom,
some of the key drivers are demographics, government, technology, resources,
consumer preferences, and company management/business model. We do not
necessarily look for a perfect combination. However, what we do care about a
great deal is how they are trending and the market bias regarding their future
prospects. Looking at the total market capitalization of a sector on a per capita
basis or the overall market penetration can be very useful. That way long-term
growth potential or the prevailing market bias tends to become more apparent.
For example, this is why in 2009 we allocated capital to a bank in India, a
medical imagining business in China, and a mobile telecom in Russia.
The bottom up portion of our research is based on a companys free
cash flow, return on invested capital, growth rate, price to earnings, net asset
value, quality of the management, etc. All these variables are considered and
ranked until we find the optimal vehicle for whatever theme we are researching.
Basically, we try to pick stocks at the intersection of value and positive value
drivers. We gravitate towards larger, quality companies, leaders in their
industries, and companies we have known and followed for a number of years.
Top 80% of our portfolio tends to be filled with such names, and the remaining
20% with more speculative smaller names with a steeper risk/reward profile. In
either case, every investment we add to our portfolio has to satisfy our macro as
well as our fundamental value criteria. The beauty of investing globally is that
the scope is so large that we can always find interesting opportunities.
MOI: You are part of a somewhat rare breed of value-oriented investor who
places perhaps as much weight on top-down analysis as you do on analyzing the
fundamentals of specific companies. How do you identify the key themes that
will create or destroy value across industries or geographies?
Vucemilovic: Yes, we definitely combine top down with company
fundamentals. In my view they are two different but inseparable aspects of an
investment. This approach also helps us in finding new ideas because it turns
research into a reiterative process. A cheap stock standing apart from the rest of
its sector is rare. Usually, whatever is influencing its price is also acting on the
whole sector. We simply want to know what is driving value
creation/destruction in a sector and compare it to the level of market bias so that
we can determine whether it makes sense to expect that circumstances could
change in the foreseeable future.
In terms of identifying key themes, we read as widely as possible.
I have read Greenblatts Annual reports, industry journals, etc. We also maintain an extensive and
books and greatly admire his growing database of stocks grouped by sector and geography, ranging from the
work and track record. In our U.S. to the BRICs, and regularly update it and analyze for relative changes in

dying businesses. Success really depends on the ability to link seemingly disconnected set
of events and figures and place each new piece of information in its proper
context. The best ideas often tend to be the simplest ones, in part because we
focus on easy-to-understand businesses. For example, we read about capacity
closures in one sector and shortages in another, or we notice that despite
improving fundamentals a sector or a country continues to trade at the same
level or at a discount to others, etc.
MOI: Your approach seems to incorporate elements of Joel Greenblatts magic
formula approach, including a focus on returns on capital. Once you identify a
business that is cheap and good based on the Greenblatt criteria, how do you
decide whether it is a good investment?
Vucemilovic: When I began my investment career I was obsessed with EVA
[economic value added] and the book called The Quest for Value.
Greenblatts magic formula screen took EVA concepts and simplified them,
similar to what Graham did with his statistical approach to stock selection based
on asset values. I have read Greenblatts books and greatly admire his work and
track record. In our work we do similar screens, but with a bit more focus on
sustainably high ROICs. Otherwise we would have a portfolio full of cyclical or
dying businesses.
Deciding whether something is a good investment often comes down to
imagining how I would feel holding it in my portfolio for many years. I call this
the Buffett test. In the end, we are betting that a companys fundamentals are not
properly valued by the market. I can do various screens, due diligence, valuation
rituals, etc., but at the end of the day I have to believe in the companys business
model, the strength of their franchise, or sustainability of any of the value
drivers that have led it up to the point of our analysis. This is why we like to
own leading companies abroad and why we allocate a good portion of our
capital to quality U.S. names. Such stocks tend to have the best long-term track
record of creating risk-adjusted value for their shareholders.
MOI: To what extent do you employ short selling in your fund? What are the
key attributes you look for in a short sale candidate?
Vucemilovic: We run a long/short fund. Our ideal net exposure is around 30-
50%. In short selling we employ a lot of the same concepts as on the long side,
but we do use a different strategy. For example, about half of our shorts are
ETFs we believe are overextended, in sectors with inferior fundamentals and
without any apparent catalysts that could propel them higher. The rest are stocks
that share those same characteristics. While on the long side we tend to be quite
concentrated, with top ten positions carrying about two-thirds of the book, on
It took me a while to learn the short side we rarely assume a big position. Our big picture style of investing

so important to find your own approach, perfect it and follow it. Otherwise, you
can easily get whipsawed by the market as you chase from one point of view to
another. For me personally, that translates to saying no to 90+% of stocks I
come across that seem cheap on some metrics but do not inherently fit my
investment style. It took me a while to learn to focus my time on drilling down
on the companies I know are good, and letting them perform, rather than
diluting my research effort, time and capital on marginal businesses for which I
lack conviction. Finding what you are good at and pressing that to the maximum
yields much better results than being decent at many things. However, finding
that one thing takes time and passion for investing.
In terms of risk management, I use a few simple rules such as keeping
my net exposures within a set range, not increasing the size of my positions
above 15% on the long side and 5% on the short side, and reducing risk taking
when drawdowns exceed certain pre-set limits. These and other simple rules
have served me well.
MOI: What books have you read in recent years that have stood out as valuable
additions to your investment library?
Vucemilovic: In the last twelve months or so, I have focused on macroeconomic
classics in an attempt to make some sense of the macro picture. I found
Skidelskys biography of Keynes and Minskys Stabilizing an Unstable
Economy particularly helpful. I also liked The Origin of Wealth by
Beinhockerera very interesting book that is less about investing per se and
more about economy as an evolutionary system.
However, my all-time favorite list would have to include: The Quest for
Value by Stewart, The Intelligent Investor by Graham, Alchemy of Finance by
Soros, Business Cycles by Tvede, Trading Risk by Grant, and the entire Market
Wizards series by Schwager.
MOI: Marko, thank you very much for your time.

THE BOTTOM LINE
FICO has leveraged the success of its industry-leading credit score brand to create products in related areas and non-financial
verticals. These diversification efforts, and a variable cost structure, have dampened the impact of lower demand for high-
margin credit scores following a decline in worldwide lending volumes. Longer term, it remains to be seen if the FICO score
can withstand shortcomings associated with its predictive power and challenges from rival products. With shares trading on a

THE BOTTOM LINE
Hyatt distinguishes itself from other global hotel chains through its high asset backing, net cash position, and an interested
and active owner in the Pritzker family. Based on the power of the Hyatt brand, the company can create shareholder value by
following a strategy of franchising and international expansion. As this would reduce capital intensity and improve earnings
quality, it should enable significant return of capital to shareholders. On this basis, shares are undervalued. Change may be
slow, however, given weak lodging industry prospects, tight credit markets, and voting control by the Pritzker family.

While the company has no debt, it is difficult to assess reserve adequacy.
THE BOTTOM LINE

Investors Title is a U.S. title insurer providing a non-discretionary service for real estate industry participants, primarily along
the East Coast. As residential and commercial real estate transactions drive demand for title insurance, business has suffered
in the real estate downturn. Despite unprecedented challenges facing the company, tangible book value per share is up 50%
since yearend 2004 (with dividends added back). While this may raise the question of the adequacy of loss reserves,
management has strengthened claims provisions in the past three years. Trading at 0.8x tangible book, shares appear
undervalued based on prospects for a potential recovery in transaction volume and/or pricing in the U.S. real estate market.

THE BOTTOM LINE

Republic Airways has undergone a transformation over the past twelve months, acquiring two well-established but distressed
branded airlines, Frontier and Midwest, which have been Republic customers. The purchases add a branded, risk-based
model to Republics traditional business of flying for major network carriers under their brands. The latter model eliminated
Republics exposure to fuel prices, fares and load factors, giving it a stable pre-tax profit margin. While Republic retains the
fixed-fee business, growth is likely to be driven by branded operations. We note that only $85 million of Republics $2.7
billion in debt is recourse to the company; unrestricted cash amounts to ~$5 per share. The risk-reward seems compelling.

THE BOTTOM LINE
Vodafone shares offer a 6% dividend yield, which is well-supported by the companys free cash flow generation excluding
Verizon Wireless. As Vodafones 45% stake in the number one U.S. mobile operator is the companys most valuable single
asset, the markets ignorance of its value to Vodafone provides a compelling investment opportunity. An upward re-rating of
Vodafone shares could come following a likely resumption of cash distributions from Verizon Wireless beyond the current
level of tax pass-throughs. Regardless of how Verizon Wireless and other unconsolidated assets are monetized, Vodafones
sum-of-the-parts valuation implies the consolidated business trades at around 4x trailing EBITDA. This is too low given
Vodafones strong European market share, growth prospects in emerging markets, and margin improvement potential.

THE BOTTOM LINE
As an insurance intermediary, Brown & Brown benefits from a capital-light, commission-based business model. Organic
commission growth, however, has declined for the third consecutive year in 2009. This largely reflects the impact of a weak
economy on insurance rates and insurable exposure units (e.g. property values), which drive commission levels. Structural or
company-specific factors may also be at play. In this context, we worry managements acquisition-led growth strategy raises
risk without providing commensurate return. With shares trading on a 7% trailing earnings yield, risk-reward is not enticing.

THE BOTTOM LINE
ICG has a strong operating presence in three of the four largest U.S. coal-producing regions: Central Appalachia, Northern
Appalachia and the Illinois Basin. In an industry where the key competitive advantage is being a low-cost producer, ICG
ranks average compared to Appalachian peers. Positives include long-lived reserves, contracted sales and a focus on cash
generation after years of investment. Large ownership by Fairfax and WL Ross bodes well for shareholder value creation.

THE BOTTOM LINE
Osteotech is no newcomer to the growing market for regenerative bone tissue. With proven tissue processing technology
going back to the early 1990s, the company has remained competitive despite high regulatory requirements and competition
from larger rivals such as Medtronic and J&J. While management has not been able to generate adequate returns on capital, a
range of patent-protected technologies, long-standing industry accreditations, and nearly $50 million of donor tissue in
inventory may be attractive for a potential acquirer. Recently adopted poison pill, however, may thwart a change in control.

SELECTED INFORMATION FROM AMERICAN ACADEMY OF ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEONS (AAOS)

(paraphrased or quoted from selected AAOS publications)
The use of musculoskeletal allograft tissue in reconstructive orthopedic procedures has markedly
increased over the last decade.
Musculoskeletal Allograft Distribution
Source: American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS), http://www.aaos.org
500,000+ bone-grafting procedures are performed annually in the U.S., with half of these
procedures related to spine fusion. These numbers easily double on a global basis and indicate a
shortage of musculoskeletal donor tissue traditionally used in these reconstructions.
U.S. Trends in Musculoskeletal Tissue Donors
Source: American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS), http://www.aaos.org; AATB Annual Survey.
The above reality has stimulated corporate interest in supplying what is seen as a growing market
in bone replacement materials. These graft alternatives are subjected to varying degrees of
regulatory scrutiny, and thus their true effectiveness in patients may not be known prior to their
use by orthopedic surgeons.

THE BOTTOM LINE
Republic Services has become the second-largest waste management company in the U.S. following the acquisition of Allied
Waste in late 2008. The combined company benefits from a consolidated industry structure, high barriers to entry, and a non-
discretionary nature of services provided. Negatives include a low-growth business, limited margin improvement potential,
and no tangible asset backing. With shares trading on a 7% trailing free cash flow yield, shares are modestly undervalued.

THE BOTTOM LINE
A key feature of the RSC business model is the ability to age its 3-4 year-old equipment rental fleet by reducing capex.
This boosts free cash flow as the fleets revenue-generating capacity remains unimpaired (useful fleet life is up to ten years or
longer). Our key concern is that RSC owns depreciating assets in an industry with low barriers to entry. With enterprise value
at a 20%+ premium to the original equipment cost, it may be cheaper to re-create the business from scratch or via roll-up.
This is especially true if credit availability improves and equipment prices stay low due to weak construction and industrial
activity. Plans by RSC management to increase capex in 2010 indicate that potentially attractive market opportunities exist.

THE BOTTOM LINE

In the fourth quarter of 2009, AutoNation achieved its first annual increase in new vehicle sales since 2005. With total U.S.
new vehicle sales expected to grow in 2010, the industry may have hit a bottom in 2009 (at less than 11 million new vehicles
sold). This represents a 39% drop from the over 17 million new vehicles sold in 2005. As the largest auto retailer in the U.S.,
AutoNation stands to benefit from a potential economic recovery as well as the industry-wide shakeout of weaker rivals. At a
6-7% trailing earnings yield, however, valuation is not sufficiently compelling even assuming a substantial earnings recovery.

THE BOTTOM LINE
As the largest operator of private prisons in the U.S., CCA has benefited from steady inmate growth, an overcrowded public
prison system and constraints on new public prison development. Homeland security initiatives have also helped as the
proportion of revenue from U.S. Immigration and Customs has nearly doubled to 12% since 2002. This backdrop has enabled
returns on tangible equity in the low-teens over the last several years. Earnings-based measures may underestimate the high
cash generation ability of the business. Shares are cheap trading on a 9-10% maintenance FCF yield based on 2010 guidance.

Considered unconventional because prior to advances in drilling, fracturing

THE BOTTOM LINE

Gastars strategy is to explore unconventional natural gas resources in the U.S., including sands, shale and coal bed methane.
Management estimates the ~75,000 acres under exploration may hold a net resource potential that is 20-30x the size of
proved reserves. While such claims are not uncommon among exploration companies, Gastar is notable for two reasons:
1) U.S. natural gas giant Chesapeake Energy (CHK) owns 14%; and 2) recent Australia asset sale demonstrates management
can deliver value from existing assets. With a cleaned-up balance sheet, improved corporate governance, and potential for
high reserve and production growth, Gastar may represent a worthwhile option to speculate on a rise in natural gas prices.

THE BOTTOM LINE
J&J has world-leading franchises in medical devices, branded pharmaceuticals and consumer healthcare products. As roughly
25% of revenue derives from products introduced in the last five years, innovation remains critical to value creation. While
we commend management in its restructuring efforts, it appears that the planned cuts of 5%+ of the workforce signal slower
growth ahead. An additional concern is a potential switch to acquisition versus organic-led growth, which would heighten
execution risk. Balancing our concerns is the quality of the J&J franchise with durable, highly profitable brands. Assuming
slower organic revenue growth in future, shares appear fairly valued at an 8% earnings yield based on 2010 EPS guidance.

Molson Coors has a strong presence in three of the worlds largest beer markets including the U.S. (via the MillerCoors JV),
Canada, and the U.K. While these markets are attractive because of a highly consolidated industry structure and high cash

the merger-related synergies are largely realized by now. At a mid-to-high single digit FCF yield, shares appear fairly valued.

THE BOTTOM LINE
Monsanto has led development of genetically modified seeds ever since pioneering gene modification of plant cells in 1982.
The growth opportunity is clear: Population and GDP growth increase demand for food. With limited farmland, production
from existing fields has to rise. While there are many ways to achieve this (e.g. better field management via use of fertilizer
and hybrid seeds), Monsantos biotech traits are pushing the last frontier in crop yield maximization. Global industry growth
coupled with the companys patent-protected products is a strong combination. However, given that enterprise value is nearly
two thirds of global crop protection and seeds industry revenue, investors may be paying too much for expected future profit.

THE BOTTOM LINE

CEO Byrne recognized the potential of liquidating manufacturers inventory of consumer goods through the Internet when he
founded Overstock.com in 1997. While revenue grew rapidly until 2005, growth has been stagnant and cash flow negative
since then. 2009 could mark a turning point as the company should be profitable. With revenue of $800+ million, the
valuation likely ignores Overstocks earning power. Given the mixed track record, however, this does not come as a surprise.

THE BOTTOM LINE
Potash Corp. has enjoyed rapid business expansion since 2003 when global demand for potash started outstripping supply.
By 2007, demand was at available capacity, which led to a near tripling of the companys average potash price in 2008. The
market, however, proved to be not immune from cyclicality as economic weakness led to a decline in global fertilizer demand
since mid-2008. Despite the slowdown, long-term drivers of the business growth in global population and GDP leading to
greater demand for food remain intact. Our main concern is whether industry growth will translate into shareholder value
creation to the extent implied by the stocks 4-5% earnings yield on 2010 EPS guidance. The margin of safety appears low.

As reported on page 19 in the January 2010 TransDigm presentation.
THE BOTTOM LINE
TransDigm differentiates itself from other aircraft component suppliers through above-average revenue predictability and
gross margins. This is due to large aftermarket exposure and high entry barriers as a result of proprietary component designs.
The high-margin, low capital-intensity business model remains cash-generative despite revenue pressure from weakening
commercial aerospace markets. Our key concern is high financial leverage, with net debt at 4.5x trailing EBITDA after a
$400+ million special dividend payment in late 2009. The 7% trailing FCF yield is not sufficient to compensate for this risk.

THE BOTTOM LINE
QVC is the second-largest TV home shopping network in the U.S. and has built up a material presence in Internet retailing,
with $1 billion of Internet-related revenue (37% of total revenue). Growth remains pressured due to the weak economy and a
declining catalog business. Despite these challenges and stiff online competition, HSN continues to generate significant FCF.
With shares trading at 10% of average annual FCF since 2006, the valuation is interesting but not compelling.

THE BOTTOM LINE
Vistaprint has automated the entire graphic design and print process via an integrated online/offline model. By combining
online order processing and aggregation with high-volume printing facilities, the company has materially reduced the costs of
traditional short-run printing. This value proposition has allowed Vistaprint to penetrate the large and fragmented market for
small business and consumer marketing products and services. It has grown revenue organically from $6 million in fiscal
2001 to over $600 million in the last twelve months, making it one of the largest online providers of small business marketing
services. As the valuation already assumes continued rapid growth and execution, we are not compelled to own the shares.
additional insight into Vistaprint:
SNAPSHOT OF VALUE PROPOSITION
