@Ross812 Ross I have to ask - thoughts on Donnelley? Share price has been stagnant and there are shares for the taking in the low 50s.

Wasn't it Trump who said "smart people" don't like him? I think the shoe is on the wrong foot! Meanwhile, some domestic terrorists have finally been caught red-handed disrupting peaceful protests:

For now- as Cornelius Fudge corrected the one and only Albus Dumbledore (yes, I think children's tales are well-placed for the discussion in this thread), laws can be changed!

Swing-and-a-miss! You missed the best quote from Trump's little AI-rendezvous!

Well, John - I read you were newly retired. Just planting some seeds...

Truth struck a nerve, eh? They make a hat for that!

reminds me of the george best quote: I spent a lot of money on booze, birds, and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.

We see it in fashion a lot - buying up exhausted brands and slashing expenses to the bone. Perhaps a similar playbook?

Border patrol succeeds and another criminal illegal immigrant is taken off the streets, saving millions of #blessed white American lives:

Someone should ring up Greg and tell him Aecon is building capacity for US energy production (mainly nuclear). That call should probably come from this gentleman: https://www.aecon.com/our-company/leadership/scott-thon Berkshire has a ton of cash to deploy, Aecon (along with a Buffett favorite: Kiewit) are partnering on similar energy build in Washington state and have the capacity...it could be a good match. https://newsroom.kiewit.com/uncategorized/energy-northwest-selects-design-builder-for-cascade-advanced-energy-facility-in-washington-state/

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQKDT1dAd1E/ And the campaign begins! We already see the groundwork being laid… Isolate your citizenry from the rest of world Consolidate power from other government branches Fire longstanding military chiefs Begin a soft takeover with your private army of ICE’ers Not to mention the soft signals…who renovates the White House in their “final” term? Remember term 1 he was stealing the wallpaper in the way out! Now he’s dumping millions into the building? Hmm… These goons have enough of the idiot class to support them, I won’t be surprised when they try to further press the advantage. Spicy times look to be incoming!

Not to mention all the BribeCoins that Trump and his circle have issued. These crooks are so ridiculous, can you imagine having voted for them??

When the virus overtakes the host

Just Donny-boy laying the groundwork to rebrand the Taj Trump Mahal

For those buying, how are you thinking about downside risk from here? If we see a softening insurance market, lower interest rates, and normalized equity portfolio gains, earnings could drop significantly.

Check it out, you can actually see the dismantling of the country in real time! Do you think they'll find the Epstein files?

So why is Donnie Kompromat shilling for Putin? Putting pressure on one side of a war is "getting dragged in".

Donny Traitor shills for Putin, refuses to sell missiles to Ukraine: https://www.ft.com/content/7960c6aa-dbfa-4a55-91e8-ae44601842ec

Damning claims that the federal gov't is staging riots to justify its unconstitutional actions:

Agreed - but even moreso than buybacks, I would like to see Fairfax expand the equity portfolio to true champions. Not Orla mining, not Sleep mattress, not OXY and CVS...I think if they get a chance to put a large chunk of cash to work in real high-quality equities, that would be the best outcome. Second best I agree with you would be continued repurchases.

Fairfax, BRO, CASH, KVUE

This is par for the course. Just look at Berkshire buying Oxychem. I notice they weren't making a deal when oil was 90+ and Oxy's stock price was double its current price. Another similar recent deal from Fairfax would be at the Atlas corp takeout.

Good to know you care more about the religious sensibilities of Afghans than the constitutional rights of Americans!

What's another 20B between friends? Make Argentina Great Again! https://www.commondreams.org/news/trump-argentina-bailout

https://www.cnn.com/2025/10/15/media/pentagon-press-hegseth-restrictions-journalists-fox Just another day in Trumpistan! Our Trump-branded freedom is so great again, his supporters can finally spew racist bullshit and nazi symbols without guilt! https://www.politico.com/news/2025/10/14/private-chat-among-young-gop-club-members-00592146 https://www.politico.com/news/2025/10/15/capitol-police-investigating-swastika-in-gop-congressional-office-00609704
