Third Point LLC	Third Point, LLC is a $3.2 billion dollar hedge fund with a focus on activist investing. It was founded in 1995 by Daniel Loeb with $3.3 million from family and friends. Loeb is well known in the hedge fund world for his attacks on what he views as greedy executives who also happen to be depressing shareholder value. Third Point has posted an average annual return of 28.9 percent since Loeb founded the firm in 1995, he says. That’s more than double the 12.5 percent gain logged by similar hedge funds during that period, according to Credit Suisse First Boston Tremont Index LLC. Loeb often refers to what he does as “the moral-indignation business.” Loeb’s goal is to shame companies into replacing their CEOs, shaking up their boards—whatever it takes to boost the value of his investment. For instance, in the 13D filing he wrote to protest the management of Star Gas he asked the CEO, “How is it possible that you selected your elderly 78-year old mom to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors and as a full-time employee?” Loeb wondered. “Under what theory of corporate governance does one’s mom sit on a Company board?” In 2005, <a href=http://www.newyorker.com/talk/content/articles/050418ta_talk_mcgrath>The New Yorker did this profile.</a> <a href= http://paul.kedrosky.com/archives/001219.html>Paul Kedrosky also keeps track of the collected works of Dan Loeb</a>.

Joel Greenblatt	Greenblatt is the author of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/You-Can-Stock-Market-Genius/dp/0684840073/sr=8-2/qid=1166980609/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/103-9220297-2824603?ie=UTF8&s=books">You can be a stock market genius</a> (one of the best investment books ever) and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Little-Book-That-Beats-Market/dp/0471733067/sr=8-1/qid=1166981172/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/103-9220297-2824603?ie=UTF8&s=books">The Little Book that beats the maret</a>. His books and his investing style focus on value investing and special situations investing. He's also a focus investor. Currently he owns only 4 stocks with the bulk of that in just two: WMT and ARO. He currently has $45mm under management. His track record according to reports is 30.8% per year over the past 20 years. From wikipedia: "His latest book refers to an investment strategy of "Magic Formula Investing", which is a fancy name for a simple formula for determining which stocks to buy: "cheap and good companies" with a high earnings yield and a high return on capital. He touts the success of his magic formula in his book The Little Book that Beats the Market, citing that it does in fact beat the market 96% of the time, and has averaged a 17-year annual return of 30.8%[2]. However, to earn 30.8% per year requires more than the quantitative approach outlined in his book. An investor has to make judgement calls about which stocks to buy and sell." Greenblatt has also been extensively <a href="http://nymag.com/news/businessfinance/15958/index1.html">involved in charity towards education</a>. As of 9/30/07	108166	November 29, 2007
