Thank youi for sharing, Charlie [ @dealraker ], -Enjoy! - Those are some really nice photos of Angela and you!

Mike [ @cubsfan ], Are you by 'monumental events' above referring to a peace / peace deal in the Israel / Gaza / Hamas conflict by now?

Jeff [ @DooDiligence ], This one cracked me up! - -Normally, the Lady of the House dosen't think it's funny [at all!] what gives me a good laugh, but this one seemed to do the trick today! lol!

No luck on POTUS' Nobel Peace Prize aspirations : Nobel Institute - Press Release [October 10th 2025] : The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2025 to Maria Corina Machado. YouTube : Nobel Prize [October 10th 2025] : Announcement of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize. - - - o 0 o - - - Edit : In the Danish Press reporters are today speculating about what POTUS will be up to next ... - Well, that's an easy one : He will need Svalbard, for security reasons! [<- J/K, Second edit , I coulden't help it!]

Today, I really enjoyed this post on Bretts [ @Bretts ] LinkedIn feed, somewhat really morbid [Please don't get me wrong here!], by Mr. Buffett, lol! :

I have been thinking about this on-off now for a long time, - several years, actually. While taking the poll in the starting post in this topic, I opted for 'So-so'. It's literally about the question in the starting post in this topic : 'How Are Things Going for the People Around You?' Specifically not about the Lady of the House, with whoom I I have been co-locating for now 12 years [short of 7 days today, actually], living together for 15 years, on our by then two separate adresses, untill we started co-locating. I'm not married to her, that will likely never happen, I think. [Back then, when it got really serious, I said to her, that I likely never would ask her to merry me, I considered the marriage as institution the most oversold institutional imperative in the Danish society ever, some really overrated crap not worth to engage in, because it screw up things between two persons, and I would like to carry her through the rest of her life, keep roof over her head and give her the ultimate freedom as long as she lives with me, - even if she decides to leave me, and starts to execute on that. No matter what she decides to do, I'll contribute and cooperate to make the funds available for her to do so, whatever happens, from her own personal means. True, unconditional love is that you ultimately are willing to let yourloved dove fly, if it wants to do so, because it considers it the best personal option at a given time to do so. We have three socalled 'separate' kids, all in all, she two, I one, from prior relationship [me]/marriage [she]. My concern are them - thus I opted 'So-so' option in the poll. Her decendants are in the early 40's, my daughter is in the middle of the 30's. They live their own lives, independant of us, never asking for anything, nor even ever calling for advice on anything. [John, the worried chicken mother?] They are all three renters, one in Copenhagen, one in Aarhus, and one in a small town here on the Danish island called Funen. So I don't really know how they each individually perceive their own living conditions by now. - - - o 0 o - - - -Please don't ask me to personally consider, if they all three consider me personally to the greatest 'a**h*le' they know! - - - o 0 o - - - We've got new, socalled 'maintenance free' gable claddings on our home recently, including new gutters and downpipes, including paint of all other treeworks being a part of 'the hat' of the house not replaced [because still good], switching from 70's & 80's brown and green colours, to antracite [Swisspearl Plank Original - CP 150 Antracite]. - Christ, how craftsmanship and material prices have skyrocketed in the last five years or so!

Yeah, Sanjeev [ @Parsad ], It has been around just about everywhere for ages, and it's totally nonsense and *BS*! It's one those ignorant and baseless generalizations circulating around in certain environments, like 'Europe is uninvestable'.

Me : What's the wifi password? Bartender : you need to buy a drink first. Me : Okay, I'll have a coke. Bartender : Is Pepsi ok? Me : Sure, How much is that? Bartender : 3$ Me : There you go. So what's the wifi password? Bartender : you need to buy a drink first. No spaces, all lowercase.

Gentlemen, Which browser on your phones are you using for opening and logging in on CofB&F? [phone combined with browser?] - Thank you in advance! [I speculate it may perhaps have something to do with that?]

Well, that certainly must be said! Typical behavior among Norwegians [very funny- and strange-talking still, however!] and Swedes [even funnier and more strange-talking compared to Norwegians still, however!] I hope you'll enjoy it, @Kizion!

Sanjeev [ @Parsad ], @Sweet and all others, @Sweet has contacted me p2p and - very forthcoming - provided the link to the original report mentioned above. Thank you for that, @Sweet! - - - o 0 o - - - Attached is the report : 1. In English language, created by the use of Google Translate, applied on #2, 2. The original report, in Danish language. The Danish Ministry of Finance - indvandreres-nettobidrag-til-de-offentlige-finanser-i-2018 - 2021 - English - 20251003.pdf The Danish Ministry of Finance - indvandreres-nettobidrag-til-de-offentlige-finanser-i-2018 - 2021 - Danish - 20251003.pdf

Sanjeev [ @Parsad ] & @Sweet, I've just tried to find the report in mention at the Danish Ministry of Finance website, to no avail, - by now. Please note, @Sweets source is the Economist, with source to the Danish Ministry of Finance, and from mention of source year [2018], likely out of date stuff by now :

lol! , - Thank you, @gfp, Well, because of the transaction date, we'll have to wait for the Berkshire Hathaway 2025 10-K and Annual Report. - - - o 0 o - - - Edit : A Buffett timing speciality

Egon [ @EgonKuhn ], Thank you very much!

@Sleepwell, I ordered the book not so long time ago at saxo.com, and it arrived today. The order was triggered by that it was mentioned in one the REQ Letters by Oddbjørn Dybvad and team relased so far. - - - o 0 o - - - We're in the Northern Hemisphere past the Autumn Equinox now, here in Denmark we're headed in to live in a depressing black hellhole. -Book reading is a great escape from that reality!

Jeff [ @DooDiligence ] & @JayGatsby, I'm sorry for a late reply here [As far as I can see, I'm 9 years short of 28 days late here! ] So consider your selves welcome call me a slow mover! As a Dane : What [the h***] is 'CFM' an abbreviation for? - - - o 0 o - - - Anyway, I ordered the book not so long time ago at saxo.com, and it arrived today. The order was triggered by that it was mentioned in one the REQ Letters by Oddbjørn Dybvad and team relased so far. - - - o 0 o - - - We're in the Northern Hemisphere past the Autumn Equinox now, here in Denmark we're headed in to live in a depressing black hellhole. -Book reading is a great escape from that reality!

, especially : @Cod Liver Oil, Respectfully, I tend to agree with you on this. That does however not change the undeniable fact that your thoughts, line of thinking and comments above certainly are interesting and absolutely worth discussion among those of us here on CofB&F intested in the luxury sector. We could move the discussion to the Luxury Sector - News Topic in the General Discussion Fourm. What's your say and opinion of this proposal of mine? -Thank you in advance.

Thank you for sharing, Sanjeev [ @Parsad ], Now that's certainly striking!

@Sweet & @dwy000, I think you gentlemen are likely talking 'behind eachother' past each other. I'll elaborate later here in this topic. Naturally it's by logic based on differencies in treatments, but also about systems [some of them pretty basic].

I personally have issues to understand what Berkshire here has bought with this transaction. It may be rooted in lack of knowledge about Occidential.There seems to me be almost no clarification by studying the Occidential Diverstment Slides. [How much yearly earnings are Occidential selling to Berkshire?]

Yes, Jeff [ @DooDiligence ], Getting rid of the weeds and watering the flowers creates a propensity and tendency to concentration. I'm also much more concentrated today than I would ever dream of some years ago.

HaHa! .. I just asked Grok, and got this, -I'm sorry, I forgot to ask for a red tie, too! :

Haha! Awesome Friday morning starter!

It's never going to end well! ... I mean look at that handbag! -It sure looks like a cheap phony to me...

Added a tiny bit to Investor AB [INVE A.STO] this afternoon today before Swedish marketclosing. Stingy John buy, saved a few hundreds SEKs, because Nordnet Danmark [Danish Branch of Nordnet Bank AB, Sweden [SAVE.STO]] now has passed 600,000 Danish customers after crossing the 500,000 customers milestone last year, celebrating today [only] with commission free trade on the most traded stocks in all available markets. According to Worldometer today : Isen't that just something very special? 10 per cent of a countrys population customers in one specific investment bank? -Personally, I think it is!
