It’s a small world but I wouldn’t want to paint it. The purpose of this blog is to explore investment ideas. It differs from most investing blogs as I have no intention of talking my own book. However I will explore what is wrong with my investments and that means I need to talk about positives and negatives.

Crossing Wall Street

I started this Web site to help individual investors. I have to admit that I love the stock market. I think I must be an addict. In my opinion, the stock market is one of the greatest inventions in history. The stock market is simply the most consistently successful way to make money over the long term. Even after the financial crisis, stocks have still beaten every asset category over the long haul—bonds, commodities and real estate.

footnoted was launched in August 2003 (here’s the very first post) to coincide with the publication of the book, Financial Fine Print. Each day, the site takes a closer look at the things that companies try to bury in their routine SEC filings. Some posts are simply quirky little factoids (like the fact that Warren Buffett’s son relies on ConAgra for his health insurance) while others tend to focus on more serious issues, like aggressive accounting, excessive compensation or the type of questionable self dealing that can often be indicative of more serious problems at a company.

Greenbackd

As of April 1, 2010, I have raised a modest amount of external seed capital for my maiden fund, Eyquem Global Value (“Eyquem” is Michel de Montaigne’s last name). The fund pursues a systematic deep value investment strategy with a focus on capital preservation. This means the fund is predominantly invested in special situations like liquidations, turnarounds and activist and private equity targets, but it is not limited to that universe. The fund will invest anywhere I can find overwhelming value at a good price.

Ivanhoff Capital

My name is Ivan Hoff. I began trading in 2003 lured by the boom in the Bulgarian stock market. I had just graduated high school and had no idea what I was doing. Luck was on my side as everything went up, every day. The only thing I disliked about the local market was the lack of transparency and the illiquidity, which caused wild ranges and huge bid/ask spreads.

A puzzle is that which perplexes, but which holds out the promise that with persistence and skill (and perhaps a little luck or serendipity) a solution can be found. Puzzles may be made of numbers or words or wood or any number of animate or inanimate things, or of social or psychological constructs that spring from our human condition.
