3.4% I'm shocked frankly. Thought I'd be negative. I was up about 33% in June

The difference between you and me is probably experience. Perhaps I'll learn to be more like you after this. Anyway - anybody have any good ideas? Seems there's got to be some good deals out there and KJP and I have both given out a name.

It was up around 10% of my portfolio earlier this year. It has dropped about 75% over the last month. I bought it back up to roughly 7.5% today. I don't think I'll buy any more until after March (supposing it looks good then). "No deal" seems an unlikely scenario to me. Either way, I've got the stomach to find out.

No responses? I'll bite - FLYB:GB is now trading at about 2x operating cash. Not the prettiest picture, and some obvious clear risks, but very cheap.

Don't ask. If he wanted you to know he'd have told you.

Well thanks! I always feel deeply indebted to the people here, so I try to help when I can. I'm still learning this stuff, and really value the discussion - at least when it's not ugly :) I went with Ferengi Rule of Acquisition #3 for my signature - thanks for the suggestion :) Reading through them I think #76 is my favorite: "Every once in a while, declare peace. It confuses the Hell out of your enemies."

you can make Google search for you (and it's probably better). Just enter the following example into Google (works for any site): "site:cornerofberkshireandfairfax.ca korean preferred"

45.36%. Biggest winners were GNCMA and Autohellas, which I both had a large stake in and both doubled (Thanks Packer!). I also did fairly well with GXE.TO ~50% since I bought quite a bit as it bottomed. The rest of my holdings went roughly with the market. P.S. I got a 10x on my Ethereum, but I only own one :) I'm a software engineer and I think the tech is cool - especially Ethereum - but I can't make myself feel comfortable putting a significant amount of money in it. I think all of us can anecdotally point to someone we know offering advice on crypto currencies who has no business doing so, including the receptionist at my company. This scares me.

Yikes

After reading that I'm seriously considering purchasing VIX with the extra cash I have on deck

Congrats!!! Really appreciate everything you've posted here and wish you the best of luck with this endeavor!

I use both a spreadsheet for a more detailed view but also use Personal Capital for a broad view.

@Parsad, how about a politics section? A nice place where all the dipshit lefties and righties can post their nonsense somewhere I don't have to see it ;D

... thread hijacked by trolls. It sounds like a great idea, but not really for me. I'd try posting it again in a month or maybe somewhere else if the trolls persist.

well said
