Thank you for cheering me up on a louzy day! - Next thing that happened, is I read out out loud for the Lady of The House, what you posted, and then she starts starts self-occilating in a Trump-tantrum! - It's the same with the Sis in Law! - every time! - Usually the early innings of these tatrums are Nobel Price related!

Thank you, @thepupil, No matter what happened in your memory, it's very useful information anyway, no matter what. I'm aware of the book by same author 'How Asia works' [, I typically find books in the directory of the book shop by doing searches by author names], and I may order that as well. Your comments about the age of these books ref. status quo now are certainly important, ref. company inflection points in time. Thank you.

Thank you for some good starters posts here from @schin and @thepupil. I'm a little confused, because I see two editions of this book at my web book store [www.saxo.com], both from the same year, 2008, both paperbacks : I wonder what the difference among them actually is. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and no, it's not about the the DKK 30.00 in price difference.

I added a few Berkshire Hathaway B shares today.

@gfp, That one is cracking me up, too!

@Spekulatius and @Hektor, I personally woulden't, and I don't rule out anything like that. The Middle East a friggin' witches' cauldron by now. So much crazy stuff has been going on there as of lately, and it isen't all caused by POTUS. Up here, in the Coalition of Willings there are internal discussions about placing ICBMs in Scandinavia, including in cosy Denmark. If done so, they'll be placed, bound for targets in Russia, in the developed part of Russia.

LoL! - A good dose of gossip combined with some serious bashing! -I had to activate my dictionary app to really grasp and indulge in the meaning of 'tacky'. A southerner - like Greg [ @Gregmal ] is more direct and blunt likely using the word 'slimy' in stead!

I'm personally of the opinion, that the exchanges here in this topic hasen't ever moved as much as just one US vote. Topic still interesting and educational though, it's somewhat cultural, too.

LoLz, it's just hilarious! I think you should advice Brian Littrell to give this specimen of a woman a huge smack every time she camps on his parcel, and all his problems with this lady will evaporate instantly! - Works great!

I'm at 4 percent cash right now, it hasen't been that large since 2017, I think, I can't figure out what to do with it. So I'm on another shopping spree these days, covering all my other shortcomings! So now, I'm surfing the wave of popularity! -Eventually, I'll figure it out, or alternatively f**k it up!

Meanwhile :

Mike [ @cubsfan ], I want us all here on CofB&F to progress and succeed! Nothing so awful as reading about a CofB&F member loosing perhaps material, seriously hard earned money on something that's gone wrong! I know that you are personally actually 'by now wwaayy past that point of no return' for your self.

Thank you, Sanjeev [ @Parsad ], I had to look up the thingy on Wikipedia before I understood it correctly. US Politics at its finest, as always.

Mike [ @cubsfan ]. Again, I apologize, and then yet again I get distracted - over and over again! - by Sanjeevs [ @Parsads] posts, getting me nosy! [ 'pizza ring'? ROFL! - Perhaps a sex toy I've missed out on my whole life!]

Mike [ @cubsfan ], I was just kidding above, perhaps serious lack of situational awareness, from my side. Seriously, here : Some of those stories are well known here on this side of the Atlantic Pond as well. Just disgusting, criminal, rotten culture.

You simply can't be serious here, Mike [ @cubsfan ] ?, - I mean : I think it was in the 2017 edition of 'Of Permanent Value' that Andrew Kilpatrick played and poked around with the idea of Berkshire simply buying the Catholic Church, by buying the Vatican State. -It would simply be awesome! Then add some minor bolt-ons by adding a pair of South American narco cartels, or perhaps three! It would be so awesome! -Conglomerate transition, you know! -Pay while you're a live, hope for not being screwed when you're dead - perfect fit for the insurance operation! Selling promises as hot air at a negative cost of float!

Affairs with staffers that set them selves on fire are ... hot! <I coulden't help it!>

The common dominator in POTUS' decisions and doings is what N.N. Taleb has called 'Taking others' skin in the game' : Medium - Nassim Nicholas Taleb [May 6th 20217] : The Skin of Others in your Game It's not that complicated, actually.

Oh, I forgot to thank @aws, too. Thank you, both!

Thank you for the elaboration above, @adesigar.

@adesigar, Was it posted, and deleted, today?

I really enjoy reading this stuff from you, @BG2008. It's in your blood. You're a pro in that regard, too. I certainly haven't forgotten what you've told and shared here on CofB&F about your own life. This one cracked me up :

LoLz! Everything is opportunistic 'relative' and 'situational' in 'World according to POTUS', right?

Another of POTUS' wild lawsuits just toppled, at least interim : AP News - Politics [April 13th 2026] : Judge dismisses Trump’s $10B lawsuit against WSJ, Murdoch over reporting on ties to Epstein

HaHa! - And when he needs to take a deep breath under a break in the tantrums, he will likely give Kamala yet another 'spin'!
