I was with a coworker in downtown (Financial District) SF. My coworker wanted to get some chocolate for his wife. We went in there. The cashier was being so rude to this tourist couple. I didn't know what happened before but how the cashier handled the whole situtation was just terrible. She was swearing at them and calling them inappropriate names. The situtation was awkward for my coworker and I, the tourist couple, and the others in the store. I just hope that cashier was an exception and she was just having a really off day... :(

Glad to know he is doing a-okay. Thanks for posting.

Will These Royal Yields Rule? WSJ http://professional.wsj.com/article/SB10000872396390444082904577609291984902960.html?mg=reno64-wsj I have no idea how these trusts work or how to value them but they sound very interesting, at the right price. I was wondering if others have done work on these kind of companies(trusts)?

Andrew is the younger guy right? He seemed like he might actually be decent--did he come from somewhere legit? Andrew is from the New York Times. I believe he was the editor of the Deal Book section.

I enjoy the occasional interviews with great investors/CEOs.

I'm surprised so many have No position given how many posts are in the AIG thread. I guess it's mainly a small group of posters doing all the posting.

Mainly equity but some A warrants.

Failed level 1. =( First time taking it. Will retake in Dec.

I just ordered my copy. I look foward to it. Thanks.

I think he was short First Solar. If he was, then it looks like he made out well. And he was short certain China-related names awhile ago.. Not sure how he did...

Always insightful from Mr Marks. real estate...interesting.

Any US/Canadian coal companies with little/no debt and good export infrastructure?

Thanks for sharing. Cooperman sounds like a good person with a solid worth ethic and has an incredible passion for investing. I'm (and I'm sure many on this board should be) glad he is a fan of AIG. "Omega bought the shares this year for an average of $30.47 and anticipates that the price could rise to $53 by the end of 2013."

Buffett loves to perform and just have a good time. What an incredible man.

While I think it would be wiser to build infrastructure projects when times are bad since costs would be lower for both material and labor, I think your estimation of the beneficial impact on the unemployed is way too optimistic. Most of the unemployed have no construction experience. WPA/PWA/CCC anyone? New Deal 2.0
