That being said, I'd like to welcome you all to my new weekly column on BloggingStocks – Piggyback Investing. The purpose of this column is to breakdown one fund per week – any mutual fund or hedge fund is fair game. In fact, if you have any suggestions or requests, please feel free to comment on any post. In my analysis, I will explain the fund's history, the manager's style, any publicly available returns, etc. Most importantly, however, I will focus on positions held by the fund that I consider to be interesting.

I have several purposes behind writing this column. My primary goal is to introduce all of you to potentially interesting ideas. Throughout the duration of the column, I hope to cover anything from a turnaround value stock trading for half book value to the latest-and-greatest play on energy-efficiency, and everything in between. In addition, I believe that this column, by nature, is also very discussion-oriented. Through the comments section of the site, I hope to be able to discuss the fund's/manager's credentials as well as the ideas presented throughout the column. My last (but certainly not least important) goal is to provide insights to all of you on the wide variety of styles and different schools of thought for surviving and prospering in this market.

Stay tuned for the first edition of the column focused on David Einhorn's Greenlight Capital coming shortly!
