Common Cents Investment Group

I mentioned GENR's liquidation a few weeks ago at a CCIG meeting. The liquidation was approved at a stockholder's meeting today. There was pretty heavy volume today, with apparently 7 + million shares traded today versus a total number of outstanding shares of 17 million. It looks to be up about 50%...

I wanted to post a list of next year's executive team as elected earlier this week:

President - Yuange Yang

Vice President - Minh Le

Treasurer - Aakrit Prasad

Marketing - Sagar Uttamsingh

I think that's a key point, how the offering appears on the surface , but I think that the company is well-managed and long-term oriented.

Tonight's meeting theme is oil and I would imagine that there will be some post-meeting discussion here once everyone gets a chance to do some more research. I thought I would start the thread by posting a link to an article from Barron's a few weeks ago that outlines a few big oil stocks and gives ...

The following is a link to Berkshire's 13-F filing detailing their holdings as of the end of 2008: 13-F. I thought some people might be interested and I also wanted to mention this briefly during the weekly meeting.

I would also say that this might be a good addition to the club portfolio, especially since it has fallen slightly below $30. I was wondering why the stock fell after the dividend announcement, but after lookin...
