Subject: Re: How to invest (part 3 of 3) Shrewd'm style
Much of what I know about investing, and certainly the most valuable, foundational parts, I learned on the Fool MI message board; so when I read this excellent primer my main thought is "I would never trust myself to do this stuff."

I'm not sure a primer on investing can realistically combine the classic approach described here and the algorithmic approach that a Bloomberg columnist has (brilliantly) dubbed "flows before pros." One is about price. One is about value. It is always a cardinal error to mistake one for the other.

I realize its OT for the Berkshire board, but I just wanted to put in a word for the "flows." They have made me more money than I will ever spend.
