(via www.contrarianprofits.com)

So how can you turn a profit in this turbulent sector? By investing in contract research organisations, or CROs, says biotech expert Rob Fannon. When the big pharmaceutical companies outsource research to CROs they get paid whether or not the new drugs ever make it to market.

I Like Big Moats and I Cannot Lie

(via www.fool.com)

A nice discussion of "economic moats" and four ways they are created. However, I don't agree that there are only four types of moats. The article missed at least one other type, toll bridges. I'm surprised Sellers didn't mention that one in his article. Are there any others types missing?

Cheapest Stocks in 16 Years Draw Investors Amid Rout

(via www.bloomberg.com)

Seems like everyone is talking about this article on how the stock market is at its cheapest point since 1991. I'm not so sure, but it doesn't really matter anyways if you are examining individual companies.

Value Investing: What to Know, Where to Look, and What to Avoid

(via www.thestockmasters.com)

Excerpt: "We define value investing as the buying of stocks that have fallen in price and are now trading at a discount to their intrinsic value. By using simple valuation techniques and knowing when stock prices have suffered at the hands of irrationality, investors can scoop up bargains and watch stock price regress to normal levels."
