DESCRIPTION:

Date updated:04-30-2008

Weitz is a mutual fund family based in Omaha, Nebraska. Often considered the "other Oracle of Omaha", Wally Weitz favors the value-disciplined approach of Ben Graham while also having "a conviction that qualitative factors that allow a company to have some control over its destiny can be more important than statistical measurements, such as historical book value or reported earnings"

On January 2, 2007, Weitz Funds issued its quarterly letter to shareholders. In it, he went over his central belief that although cheap stocks do go up in the long run, it's very difficult to time things exactly, and how he sees 2007 to be another good year for their holdings. He does not believe their holdings are very cheap, but at the same time has confidence that stocks like Birkshire Hathaway will simply continue to grow in value.
