Editor’s Commentary What a summer it’s been! With Mr. Market wholly lacking in generosity of

spirit, we hope you’ve at least found some time to relax and enjoy the company of family and friends.

We are pleased to be back with another Superinvestor Issue, surveying the top ideas of some of the most successful investors in the business. Starting with this report, we are more than doubling our coverage of superinvestor buys and sells. Inside, you’ll find us analyzing the portfolios of 50+ investment managers. New additions include John Griffin’s Blue Ridge, Boone Pickens’s BP Capital, Boykin Curry’s Eagle Capital, Bob Rodriguez’s First Pacific Advisors, Larry Robbins’s Glenview, Phil Falcone’s Harbinger, and Lee Ainsle’s Maverick, to name a few. For each of the 50+ investment firms, we show not only their latest top holdings by quoted value but also based on our proprietary Signal Rank™ methodology. The latter aims to answer the question, What are this investor’s best ideas right now?

Of all the superinvestor holdings we came across while researching this report, the following five companies struck as particularly interesting, timely opportunities:

African Barrick Gold (UK: ABG; $9 per ADS; MV $4 billion) is a carve-out of the Tanzanian assets of Barrick Gold (ABX), which sold a quarter of ABG in an IPO this past March. The new public company appears to have been overlooked by investors and represents one of the cheapest ways to invest in a gold miner with a large base of exploration assets. ABG’s enterprise value implies a purchase price of roughly $200 per ounce of proved and probable gold reserves. The company’s cash cost is roughly $500-550 per ounce, leaving a handsome “profit spread” for those investing in ABG at recent prices. Another positive feature of ABG is the company’s net cash position of more than $300 million, which should enable management to increase production without raising additional equity capital. Finally, management incentives are better aligned with those of shareholders now that ABG is a stand-alone public company. A reason investors may have overlooked the company is ABG’s high proportion of probable relative to proved reserves. This makes the shares appear less attractively priced when viewed solely from the standpoint of proved gold resources. However, ABG resource base is well-defined and offers opportunities for multi-year production growth. David Einhorn’s Greenlight Capital purchased a stake in ABG during the second quarter.

Chesapeake Energy (CHK; $20 per share; MV $13 billion) has for some time been synonymous with the vast untapped opportunity in U.S. onshore natural gas shale plays. As gas prices have remained depressed relative to oil prices longer than most expected, it appears many investors have slowly but surely given up on the company. While the near-term outlook for natural gas remains unfavorable, the underlying value of Chesapeake’s assets and the lagging stock price have once again attracted considerable superinvestor interest. Famed oil and gas investor Boone Pickens more than doubled his fund’s stake in Chesapeake during the second quarter. Carl Icahn’s firm boosted its position from two million to nearly 13 million shares, while Mason Hawkins’s Southeastern Asset Management slightly added to its stake, which amounts to a considerable 12% of Chesapeake. Only David Winters’s mutual fund went against the grain, selling out of a relatively small position. Our analysis of Chesapeake suggests that the value of proved reserves alone may be sufficient to justify the recent stock price, based on NYMEX strip pricing. When one considers

Vodafone (VOD; $23; MV $124 billion), the mobile communications services provider with a global presence, continues to sell roughly 30% below our fair value estimate, implying roughly 50% share price upside for a stable company with a 6% dividend yield. The dividend payout is supported by the company’s free cash flow generation even excluding any contribution from Vodafone’s 45% ownership of Verizon Wireless. This stake in the number one U.S. mobile operator may be Vodafone’s single most valuable asset, and we believe the market’s continued ignorance of its value provides an interesting investment opportunity (the financials of Verizon Wireless are not consolidated on Vodafone’s financial statements, as Verizon exercises control over the jointly owned company). An upward re-rating of Vodafone shares could come following a resumption of cash distributions from Verizon Wireless beyond the recent level of tax pass-throughs. Regardless of how Verizon Wireless and other unconsolidated assets are monetized, Vodafone’s sum-of-the-parts valuation implies that the consolidated business trades at 4-5x trailing EBITDA. This appears too low given Vodafone’s strong European market share, growth prospects in emerging markets, and margin improvement potential. Vodafone attracted significant superinvestor interest during the second quarter, with Francis Chou, Mason Hawkins and John Kleinheinz initiating new positions in the company, and Zeke Ashton, Boykin Curry and Bob Rodriguez increasing existing positions. David Einhorn appears to have maintained Greenlight’s stake in Vodafone.

For those of you looking for a superinvestor-owned gem in the micro-cap space, we point to Tree.com (TREE; $7 per share; MV $80 million), a technology-driven provider of online services to U.S. real estate industry participants. The company owns the popular LendingTree and RealEstate.com websites, yet trades roughly in line with net liquid assets. Founder and CEO Doug Lebda owns 14% of Tree.com, having purchased a substantial chunk of shares last year. Lebda appears both capable and focused on growing shareholder value, a combination that could produce long-term rewards for investors.

Finally, we are pleased to bring you an exclusive interview with Ken Shubin Stein, founder of Spencer Capital. Ken is a highly regarded deep value investor who an adjunct professor at Columbia Business School. In the interview, Ken provides valuable insight into various aspects of his investment philosophy and shares his latest view on Sears Holdings (SHLD).

Exclusive Interview with Ken Shubin Stein

This month we bring you our interview with Dr. Kenneth Shubin Stein, CFA, founder of Spencer Capital Management. Shubin Stein is an adjunct professor at Columbia Business School and a frequent speaker on value investing topics.

In 2000, Shubin Stein founded Kenshu, the predecessor to the Spencer Capital Opportunity Fund, which was formed in 2003. Prior to founding Compo, Shubin Stein was a medical technology analyst for The Abernathy Group. Shubin Stein is a graduate of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine where he completed a five-year medical and research program with a focus on molecular genetics. He graduated with a B.A. degree from Columbia College in 1991. Shubin Stein serves on the board of HelpUSA and is the leader of HelpNYC.

The Manual of Ideas: You are a somewhat rare breed of value-invested generalist with advanced degree in the scientific field, namely medicine. How did you become interested in Buffet-style investing and at what point did you choose investment management, although over an alternative career in the medical field?

Ken Shubin Stein: I became interested in Buffett-style investing at a pretty early age because I was fortunate enough to learn about Berkshire Hathaway while I was still in junior high school. After learning about Buffett’s success, I started studying Berkshire and trying to reverse engineer the company and how it had become so successful and had such a long track record of good investing decisions. As I continued my education and went through high school, college, and medical school, and part of residency, I always stayed very involved with investing. Since the end of junior high school, I’ve been managing my parents’ retirement accounts and other money for people in my family, so I’ve had a dual education and sort of career path of investing and medicine and science.

Although I love both and have a passion for the medical field as well as for investing, I ultimately had to choose and obviously picked investing. Right around the time I was 30 or 31, I made the final switch. There was some overlap in my 20s because, like I said, I had a passion for both. The benefit that having medical training has given me is medical school and science are great places to learn about critical thinking, how to frame research questions and to look for flaws in research methodologies. All this is very helpful and plays into learning how to research a situation, understand what questions may not be being asked that are important, and learn how to frame the situation correctly and seek out data that can be helpful in coming to a conclusion.

MOI: How do you describe your own brand of value investing?

Shubin Stein: At Spencer we focus on concentrated value investing and, specifically, we look at special situations. For us, special situations run the gamut from companies that are in distress, in bankruptcy, are in turnaround situations, companies that are doing spin offs or debt recapitalization or large

“…medical school and science are great places to

learn about critical thinking, how to frame research

questions and to look for flaws in research methodologies.”

So the question is, while recognizing that more experience is generally better than less, what aspects of innocence should aspiring investment managers seek to preserve? I think it’s helpful for all of us who are professional managers to periodically think about our true goals in the business, and what we are doing in order to achieve those goals. Are we constantly learning? Are we improving or are we being pushed by experience and fear into behavior that will put us in the middle of the pack versus are we continually trying to push the needle and be excellent and continue to learn, even if that has some near-term costs?

I’m reminded of the many value investors in the late 1990s during the tech bubble. When that was occurring, a lot of us felt this tremendous pressure because we were investing in solid, profitable companies at extremely good prices, but the market was valuing tech companies with no earnings at far higher prices. Lots of managers were faced with a choice: start buying things that broke the discipline of value investing because that was what investors clamored for — or lose your investors. Some managers changed their style, bought tech companies during the bubble and ended up maintaining their investors and losing capital. Some did the reverse —we didn’t buy tech companies, and we ended up losing some our clients, and I think that’s a choice that many of us are faced with during our careers.

MOI: What books have you read in recent years that have stood out as valuable additions to your investment library?

Shubin Stein: There are a couple of extremely good books I’ve read recently, and I’ll list the authors because some of them have multiple books.

Whitney Tilson and Glen Tongue’s book about the stock market crash and how to profit from it was excellent, both because it gave superb ideas and it highlighted that even after something starts to unfold, there’s the opportunity to do work, develop a variant perception, and profit from it.

Mohnish Pabrai books are excellent investment books for both amateurs and professionals.

James Montier’s books are superb for anybody interested in behavioral finance, which, in my opinion, should be all of us in this business.

The Big Short by Michael Lewis and Fooling Some of the People All of the Time by David Einhorn are must reads for everybody, both because they highlight a lot about what is important in investing and they give us an insight into how the capital markets and the government in the United States work.

MOI: Ken, thank you very much.

“…while recognizing that more experience is generally better than less, what aspects of innocence should aspiring investment managers seek to preserve? Are we improving or are we being pushed by experience and fear into

behavior that will put us in the middle of the pack…?”

50+ Portfolios With Signal Value™ Revealing the Top Ideas of Top Investors “Signal value” as opposed to “noise.” We present the

holdings of some of the world’s top investors. We look for

investors who have amassed impressive track records over

long periods of time. We choose these investors carefully

to avoid the noise inherent in most 13F-HR filings.

MOI Signal Rank answers the question, “What are

this investor’s top ten ideas right now?” Rather than

simply presenting each investor’s largest holdings as of the

recently filed quarter end, the MOI’s proprietary

methodology ranks the companies in each investor’s

portfolio based on the investor’s current level of conviction

in each holding, as judged by the MOI.

Our proprietary methodology takes into account a

number of variables, including the size of a position in an

investor’s portfolio, the size of a position relative to the

market value of the corresponding company, the most recent

quarterly change in the number of shares owned, and the

change in the stock price of a position since the most recent

quarterly filing date.

For example, an investor might have the most

conviction in a position that is only the tenth-largest

position in such investor’s portfolio. This might be the

case if an investor invests in a small company, resulting in

a holding that is simply too small to rank highly based on

size alone. On the other hand, such a holding might

represent 19.9% of the shares outstanding of the subject

company, suggesting a high level of conviction. Our

estimate of the conviction level would rise further if the

subject company has a 20% poison-pill threshold, thereby

suggesting that the investor has bought as much of the

Pershing Square (Bill Ackman) Bill Ackman, managing member of Pershing Square Capital, is a value-oriented activist investor. He runs a concentrated portfolio with the largest ten equity investments accounting for the vast majority of his long book. Before the credit crunch developed into a full-blown economic crisis, Ackman made a strong case for why MBIA (MBI) and AMBAC (ABK) were overvalued and fundamentally more distressed than the market had judged at the time. On the long side, Ackman has approached large companies, including McDonald’s (MCD) and Target (TGT), with proposals for unlocking value. MOI Signal Rank™ – Top Current Ideas of Pershing Square

BUSINESS OVERVIEW Aon provides insurance and reinsurance brokerage services, risk management, and consulting services worldwide. In July, Aon announced it is to merge with Hewitt Associates (HEW) in a half cash/half shares deal valuing Hewitt’s equity at $4.9 billion based on Aon’s closing price on July 9. Aon expects the transaction to close by mid-November. INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS

• #2 insurance broker worldwide, based on revenue, behind Marsh & McLennan and ahead of Willis, according to 2008 Business Insurance rankings.

• Hewitt merger expands consulting business. The merged Aon-Hewitt consulting/outsourcing operations had pro-forma revenue of $4.3 billion in 2009 (~50% outsourcing). The combined business is #1 in benefits and human resources outsourcing.

• Aon shares may be worth twice the recent price by 2013, assuming a 12x multiple of pro-forma 2009 EBITDA-capex, adjusted for the realization of targeted synergies of $355 million by 2013.

• Post-deal leverage to remain manageable with net debt of ~$3.6 billion representing 1.6x pro-forma 2009 EBITDA. While Aon has $1.2 billion of net debt and is assuming another $2.5 billion in the deal, Hewitt had $111 million of net cash at 6/30.

• ~60% of post-deal EBITDA from insurance brokerage, based on 2009 pro-forma EBITDA.

• Does not assume underwriting risk. As an insurance broker, Aon solely negotiates and places risks on behalf of clients. It derives revenue mainly from commissions paid by insurance companies.

INVESTMENT RISKS & CONCERNS

• Will Hewitt deal create value? While Aon is paying what appears to be a reasonable 10x multiple of Hewitt’s 2009 EBITDA-capex, this is above Aon’s multiple of less than 9x. As Aon is issuing 64 million shares in the deal, value creation will depend on realization of targeted synergies.

• M&A hype is masking weak underlying trends in Aon’s business. YTD organic revenue fell 2% in risk/brokerage operations, while consulting was flat.

• Shareholders may not be best served with Aon having insurance brokerage and consulting under one roof. Synergies are not readily apparent.

Figures include the contribution from the acquisition of reinsurance intermediary Benfield effective November 2008. 2 2007 and 2008 EBIT is as reported. 2009 and YTD figures exclude restructuring charges, pension-related charges and other special items. 3 Based on the location of the resources producing the revenues.

FINANCIAL STRENGTH Solid balance sheet? MOAT Able to sustain high returns on invested capital? EARNINGS MOMENTUM Fundamentals improving? MACRO Poised to benefit from economic and secular trends?

THE BOTTOM LINE Insurance broker Aon has made a transformative bid for Hewitt in July. The $4.9 billion deal adds scale to Aon’s small consulting/outsourcing practice, catapulting it to the largest provider of benefits and human resources outsourcing. Aon shares appear undervalued if management can fully achieve targeted deal synergies. However, the risk-reward is not compelling given execution risk around integrating a “people business,” and weak organic growth in Aon’s core operations. Based on the latter, management may have opted for an easier, but not necessarily value-creating, route to accelerate growth.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW Chesapeake is an onshore U.S. natural gas producer. INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS

• Second-largest producer of U.S. natural gas with 2Q10 production of 2.5 bcf per day. Chesapeake has ~16 years of reserve life based on proved reserves of ~16 tcfe (54% developed; 90%+ natural gas).

• $27 billion after-tax “PV-10” as of June 30, based on NYMEX strip prices (average of $6.30/mcf and $84/bbl). Deducting $10 billion of net debt yields a fair value of $22/share – in-line with recent prices.

• Recent market valuation implies zero value for unproved reserves and other assets. Chesapeake has ~226 tcfe of unrisked, unproved resources, which it estimates is worth $28 billion on a risked PV-10 basis at a gas price of $4/mcf. Midstream and other assets could be worth another $7 billion.

• “Able to add 2.5-3.0 tcfe per year of new proved reserves at <$1.00/mcfe for years to come,” even after replacing production. The company aims to have 24 tcfe of proved reserves by yearend 2012, with less debt and no material share count growth.

• Targeting asset monetizations of $3.0-3.5 billion in 2H10 and $2.5-3.0 billion in 2011.

• Low-cost producing assets. Total lease operating, G&A and DD&A costs totaled $3.02/mcfe YTD.

INVESTMENT RISKS & CONCERNS

• Value of unproved reserves may be far less than estimated by Chesapeake, especially if natural gas prices decline from recent levels. Additional risks include dry holes and higher than anticipated capex.

• High capex carries reinvestment risk. Trailing capex is $5.1 billion with another $1.7 billion spent on purchases of gas/oil properties, net of sales.

• $9.9 billion of net debt and $3.1 billion of preferred stock (at liquidation value) as of June 30.

THE BOTTOM LINE With natural gas prices remaining depressed, especially relative to oil, investors may be reluctant to consider an investment in Chesapeake. Risk-reward, however, is attractive as proved reserves alone justify the recent share price, based on NYMEX strip pricing. The vast unproved reserves (~15x proved reserves), midstream and other assets represent additional sources of value, which may exceed recent market capitalization. Given the relative predictability of monetizing the onshore asset base, and the unpredictability of natural gas prices, shares offer good downside protection while retaining meaningful upside.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW NCR manufactures, sells and services ATMs, retail point-of-sale and checkout terminals, and other self-service kiosks. INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS

• #1 global ATM service provider. NCR services 350,000+ ATMs in 100+ countries. Sales of ATMs and related products have historically accounted for 50%+ of product revenue. The financial services vertical is a ~$9 billion addressable market globally.

• Strong presence in retail vertical, a ~$10 billion addressable market globally. NCR is #2 in retail POS behind IBM and #1 in self-service checkout equipment (~65k units installed at ~150 retailers).

• Expanding into DVD rental kiosks, which NCR expects will represent 50% of the ~$8 billion DVD rental market by 2013. NCR aims for 10,000 kiosks installed by yearend 2010 for a cost of $85 million. EBITDA is expected at $25-35 million in 2011.

• Pension accounting and DVD start-up costs mask profitability of core ATM/retail business. NCR is guiding for EBIT of $340-360 million in 2010, excluding $215 million of pension expense and $30 million of costs related to the DVD roll-out.

• Net cash and FCF generation give NCR ability to deal with pension liability. Net cash was $437 million June 30. Core ATM/retail business should generate ~$200 million of FCF in 2010.

• Increased share repurchase authorization by $210 million in July, to $250 million in total.

• “Orders increased 9% year over year” in 2Q10. NCR could benefit from a recovery in customers’ capex budgets and upgrades to the installed base.

• Services revenue (~50% of total) is largely recurring, offsetting volatility in product sales.

INVESTMENT RISKS & CONCERNS

• $1.5 billion unfunded employee benefit liability at yearend 2009. NCR has a $5.4 billion pension obligation ($1.1 billion funding shortfall at 5.4% discount rate) and is contributing $110 million of cash in 2010. Post-retirement and post-employment liabilities total roughly $400 million.

• Will expansion into DVD kiosks create value? NCR aspires to become “the leading global provider of self-service entertainment solutions.” It faces strong competition from incumbent Redbox.

• Competitors include IBM, HP, Fujitsu and “vertical” rivals (Diebold, Wincor, SITA, Coinstar).

THE BOTTOM LINE Large accounting losses on pension obligations and start-up losses related to the new DVD kiosk business may lead investors to miss strong underlying cash generation at NCR. The core ATM and retail-based operations benefit from a large installed base, which provides recurring service income and potential replacement product revenue. While the outsized pension plan represents a major risk, the current valuation more than offsets for it: even if pension and related liabilities are taken at their accounting value of $1.5 billion (likely overstated given current low interest rates and depressed asset values), investors are “getting” the core ATM/retail business at just 8x 2010 estimated EBIT, with no value attached to the DVD kiosk opportunity.
