I am not on your side with that one.

All it took was for the memory trade to fade. Who knew

What happens to country masquerading as a gas station when it’s running out of gas?

A+ Driving a Ferrari (Tencent) in a congested street is still more fun than driving a truck (Prosus) that has a Ferrari (Tencent) on its back in a congested street. Unless one has a strong view of non-Tencent portion of Prosus, one ought not opt for the “truck” If one has strong view of the rest Prosus portfolio, than having Tencent at a big discount is a major asset. In recently purchase this book hopefully I get a better perspective on Naspers. sure it is a corporate history book, but I find that reading corporate history book tells you something about the DNA of a given company.

@73 Reds, You're a former lawyer by profession, what do you - by now - get out of Warren Buffetts pledge of June 26th 2016, related to the situation by now? -Thank you in advance. - Please note : I'm here just taking the freedom asking you, no strings attached.

These have been wildly volatile, I started building a position in BRO/RYAN only to see huge short term unrealized losses, now I'm actually in the green on BRO and down under 10% on RYAN.

Thanks, now I need to get up at 2 am to watch the game vs US.

Because the easy system is robbing you.

+1 The interesting thing of this victory was that Germany has/had no super stars. They were a simply a great team. I was hoping this tournament the "great team approach with no super stars" would work, too. But it was an entirely new team with less experience. Now the superstars teams will win. I´m betting on Mbappe.

But yet you do. Some things are sticky. Very sticky. What convinces you that people are going to go from the current, easy, frictionless system to a more burdensome system?

More WSP - aecon announcement gives me more confidence I'm not wrong.

edit - nevermind

Apricate! This is probably the best piece of advice in this entire thread! And it can be applied by everyone…for free!

Coupang needs to list some shares on the Korean exchange so it can join the rally

Beats me but I don't really focus on any of that stuff. Warren is concerned with his legacy and reputation and can stop granting them shares. His family foundations have scaled and he no longer has the problem he had when he "needed" a vehicle with the capability and scale of the Gates Foundation. He also wasn't thrilled with their incredible overhead and I'm sure the 4 Buffett family foundations are run extremely lean compared to Gates Foundation

@73 Reds, Using Google AI, as I'm not razersharp on the personal Buffett stuff in my memory about the timeline about this, I got this : - - - o 0 o - - - So, in a way, a double diworse, we may express it. Edit : We don't know who knows what, and why, and we likely never will.

The “chess players” beat Brazil some 10 years ago 7-1 or something like that … that was memorable https://youtu.be/a7IMPsyQg6k?si=th0L0-CHOe-1pK3r

Yeah but Melinda's imprint is all over the work that they do. Do you think what he learned has anything to do with the work of the Foundation? If so, is there any recourse for clawbacks? Gives charitable giving a sour name any way you look at it, which is why it is so important to know who you are giving to when making charitable gifts (i.e. don't assume a 501c designation is all that matters).

Melinda is no longer involved in that foundation at all. The Epstein files that were released publicly contained new information that Warren was not aware of. Something about Boris Nokolic, I'm not an expert on Epstein stuff at all. "I'm learning things I didn't know" - WEB

Agreed, the Red card wasn’t justified. It could have really tilted the game the other way but the US team covered the loss of a player well.

Yes, @gfp, That may well be the case. So, we perhaps now have just left a period, where the B share traded at what we could get it for in February 2025, and the stock has pretty much done squat since then. Such so typical for this stock over time. Meanwhile bliions of USD roll in the coffers - every month!

Thx Gfp

It is interesting that just this year Buffett decides to delay gifting to the Gates Foundation even though Bill Gates has been tied to Epstein for many years and the Foundation and its work is entirely separate and apart from anything Gates may have been involved with concerning Epstein. Melinda is every bit a part of the "Gates" name associated with the Foundation and clearly she had nothing to do with Epstein.

Terrible Red against the US team...Yellow card no doubt but Red?! Where was the intent? Going to be tough to overcome the loss of Balogun.
