A couple days ago I added a feed to David Stockman's "Contra Corner" on the right hand side of this blog. As of today, his site is officially "live".
Stockman's First Two Live Posts
I am pleased to be a part of "Contra Corner" along with 15 others, most of whom I recognize.
Please give his site a good look.

This Year's Cause: Autism
$100,000 of the money raised last year came from a generous matching
grant from the
John P. Hussman Foundation.
Some of us in the industry who have done well are making an effort to help others. John
Hussman is at the very top of that list.
One of John's kids has severe autism. This year, all net proceeds will go to support autism programs.

Nothing Like It!
This event is not just another "come and hear someone talk" kind of
thing. Attendees and their significant others can expect an educational,
fun, and relaxed time.
Last conference, we arranged wine tours. They were a big hit. We will do
so again. One of the wine estates we visited had a Bocce Ball court. On
a couple of miracle shots, I won both games I played.
Stay an extra day and golf or travel. I did. The conference hotel is a fun place in and of itself.
Unlike many other conferences, you will have easy access to speakers.
Want to chat with me, Dave, Steen, John, or anyone else at the conference? You will have an easy chance.
Not only do we have an excellent lineup of speakers, you will have an
opportunity to meet with them, have intimate discussions on important
investment topics, with a lot of fun on the side, including wine tours
and great wine.
There's nothing like it in the investment business. And your money goes to a great cause! What can be better?
