The Value Investing Congress is recognized as one of the premier events for value investors around the world. For the past three years, Congress speakers – the all-stars of value investing – have discussed their philosophies and favorite stock picks with attendees, who have the opportunity to ask questions of every speaker. Among the highlights from the 2007 New York Congress were Bill Ackman’s MBIA (MBI)/Ambac (ABK) short strategy, David Einhorn’s short thesis on Lehman Brothers (LEH), Mark Sellers’ presentation on Contango (MCF), and Whitney Tilson and Glenn Tongue’s EMC Corp.
