Welcome to the February 4, 2008 edition of the Festival of Stocks. The Festival of Stocks is a blog carnival dedicated to highlighting bloggers best posts on stock market related topics so I’m incredibly proud to be hosting this 74th edition of this weekly roundup.
This week, the posts are listed in the order I received them because if they were in the order I liked best, all the value investors would hate me, even more than they already do!
