Pasadena, CA (PRWEB) April 10, 2009 -- Schwartz Tilson Information Inc. today announced the speaker lineup for the 4th Annual Value Investing Congress West, which will be held in Pasadena, CA on May 5 and 6, 2009. Investors from around the world will have the opportunity to glean rare wisdom and market insight from the all-star lineup of world-renowned value investors, filling a critical deficit in profitable investing ideas as the market's challenges continue. The two-day event will be held at Pasadena's Langham Huntington Hotel and Spa.
"When the market is in a state of tremendous volatility, value investors can really thrive if they're using the right strategies," said Whitney Tilson, co-founder of the Value Investing Congress, co-founder of hedge fund firm T2 Partners, and a regular columnist for the Financial Times and Kiplinger's Personal Finance. "If you have patience and a long-term horizon, you will find that this is truly an opportunity-rich environment, and the Value Investing Congress is a great forum in which to learn about new prospects."
Created by disciples of Benjamin Graham and Warren Buffett, the Value Investing Congress is recognized as one of the premier events for value investors around the world. Attendees will acquire expert strategy and profitable investment ideas from the brightest minds in value investing, especially important now given the current challenges in the market. Among the highlights from past conferences: Jeff Matthews' presentation on General Electric (GE) in 2008, Bill Ackman's MBIA (MBI)/Ambac (ABK) short strategy in 2007, and David Einhorn's short thesis on Lehman Brothers (LEH) in 2007.
"There has never been a better time for investors to learn from the best of the best in the field of value investing," said Value Investing Congress co-founder John L. Schwartz, M.D. "These are challenging times for all investors, but there is certainly no shortage of opportunity. What's needed is clear guidance and informed insight. This spring's Congress will give attendees a competitive edge with innovative strategies to beat the current market."
