Street Capitalist: Event Driven Value Investments

Warren Buffett in Madrid

While I haven’t had enough time to parse through all of the news that is coming out of Madrid, I thought I would include a few links to articles about the trip for you.

I think the tidal wave that hit various financial institutions since last August has largely been recognised and felt… In terms of the effect on the economy in the United States, we don’t know, but I think it will be longer and deeper then many people do. There could well be a lot to come.

I believe in correcting mistakes, so better late than never, and that’s the reason I’m here now… There are going to be more large acquisitions, possibly, in Europe than in any part of the globe.

My name is Tariq Ali, I run Street Capitalist. I recently graduated from the University of Texas at Austin. There, I stumbled onto value investing via the school library. I read everything I could and now I'm here, writing out my thoughts and investment ideas.


I have a lot of heroes when it comes to investing, it seems like every investor has some kind of niche. Some, whose books and writings have had the biggest impact on me are: Warren Buffett, Benjamin Graham, Joel Greenblatt, Seth Klarman, and George Soros.
