Both Whitman and his successor, Ian Lapey, have made substantial investments in their flagship mutual fund. A class act to disclose this information. Within the portfolio, they've been finding a lot of net-net asset opportunities. Their approach is a modification of Graham & Dodd's. A very nice read.

Thanks.  Marty's performance over the life of his flagship mutual fund (Third Avenue Value Fund) is not that exciting.  A taxable investor would most likely have lagged an index fund...

This is a reminder how incredibly good Buffett is with his 50+ years of killing any and all indexes.
