There's something a bit sacrilegious about such titled articles. It's
one thing to interview a just-retired Peter Lynch (for example) but a
completely different story to suggest that one can mimic another
investor's style and somehow match his performance. If anyone could do
this, there'd be many (100s??) of such investors. There are not. The
title is meant to attract attention, and it seems it succeeded.
Why not go back to his teacher and read Graham's "Security Analysis"?
