I recently released a book called "The Four Filters Invention of Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger." It is available for purchase from www.frips.com
I have been a steelworker, student, medical doctor, county board of health member, medical director, and a software developer. In 2003, I earned my MBA, and started a career in intrinsic value investing. This was formalized as an Private Equity LLC in 2004.
Labitan Partners is a small private investment firm in Northwest Indiana. I specialized in the study of Benjamin Graham, Warren Buffett, and Charles Munger. And, I try to exercise discipline in each purchase decision. More information about me is available at www.frips.com

Bud Labitan’s Experience
-
Managing Partner
Labitan Partners LLC
(Investment Management industry)
January 2004 — Present (4 years 7 months)
How do we overcome our conventional tendencies when framing our investment decisions? Elaborate! The Elaboration Effect refers to the inhibition of common framing effects when decision makers are asked to elaborate their decision making process. The process of elaboration appears to work because one allows himself or herself to eliminate less than optimal choices. Buffett has always told students to be able to "explain why you are buying a stock." In my view, Warren Buffett knew the benefits of practicing "the elaboration process/effect" when framing a decision long before Satoshi Fujii & Kazuhisa Takemura wrote about it in their 2003 Behavioral Finance paper.
