Tagged: The good news is that the worst of the liquidity crisis seems to be over. After a slow start the Federal Reserve Board under Chairman Ben S. Bernanke has done an outstanding job containing the panic in the financial system and dispelling the fear of a total meltdown. Despite all this, the market is beginning to show signs of a comeback. The underlying fundamentals of the U.S. economy are still strong. David Dreman of Dreman Value Management gives us three relatively well behaved banks.

Anyone who thinks Warren Buffett is past his prime should have seen the world’s richest man tossing off one liners and charming the crowd at the Toronto Board of Trade earlier this year. Whether he was discussing his philanthropic endeavors (where he’s teamed up with his good buddy Bill Gates) or how mortgage-backed securities poisoned the U.S. financial system , the rumpled billionaire was as charismatic and as quotable as ever.

To understand the Jensen Portfolio and its value-conscious approach to stocks, you need only pay attention to the mutual-fund's guiding maxim: "Enduring wealth comes from owning great companies for a long time."
Robert Zagunis, co-manager of the fund (JENSX) , which generally owns no more than 25 to 30 stocks, says the kind of companies that meet its investment criteria can make money in good economies or bad, then use their cash to fund internal growth and pay shareholder dividends.

Tagged: THE cookie-cutter office building stacked amid high-rise condos and streetside retail is not where you'd expect to find the man who oversees $1.2 billion in funds, and who is said to be Canada's top stock-market bargain hunter. Taped to his door is a plain piece of paper that has been run through a printer: "Chou Associates Management Inc.," it reads, implying that nothing of much importance is happening here. Francis Chou's funds have suffered a severe beating lately, but he isn't calling in the coroners.
