thats precisely what he is saying

10 year needs to get a move on. Its lagging between the 2 year and 30 year.

Do you think the MANU sale will happen soon and at the rumored 6B asking price?

I couldn't find the Investments table in the 2022 annual report. Was it removed or did I just miss it?

This one did not do well for Berkshire Hathaway.

KVUE SPHR - Today is the day

I am disgusted and disturbed by allegations without any proof. Why should anyone believe what the Canadians say? They are acting like the world should believe what they spout because they are a rich western country. Also why should the Indian embassy keep issuing visas to Canadians? That says more about you. Seems you think getting an Indian visa is right. I am extremely happy with the response from India.

I am looking at Bonds, Insurance, Oil, Tobacco, Asian Stocks, US Banks Also thanks to CoBF am looking into Media companies and Retailers,

Cool -Lots of questions that could have been answered with simple online searches. Most people in other countries do let their baby cry? That’s an extraordinary claim - why should I believe you? And most people in other countries do sleep train their babies - evidence please? Google is your friend.

Co-sleeping is very common in Asia and most babies sleep with their parents. There is a very low incidence of SIDS in Asia compared to US and most other western European countries. Why is "sleep training" not needed in the vast majority of countries around the world? People in most countries don't let their babies cry and they don't need to or try to "sleep train" them.

Thats the Purchasing power of the USD chart

Thats AIG

The inverted Question mark before I think is Spanish.

Looks like it but First Republic did not go bankrupt in 2020

Berkshire HODL

This whole look thru earnings and apply some generic PE is dumb. It makes absolutely zero sense. eg Take 180 billion in Apple stock, which is at a PE of 30. Look through earnings are 6 billion on that. So using look through earnings and a PE of 15 we are supposed to value the 180 Billion of AAPL at 90 Billion. Yea no thanks.

I think part of the reason the S&P is high and could stay high is all the money flowing into it from 401k plans? Nowadays most people I know are investing into index funds or target date retirement funds(which in turn hold index funds). So every month there is a constant flow of money from 401k plans into the stocks in the S&P 500.

Best Bank in India. I remember when my parents bought this at the IPO. Its probably one of the best investments they ever made.

I guess some people think that the US has installed leadership in all other democratic countries like Europe/Canada/Japan/Australia/India etc. The US doesn’t hate China. Some people seem to think that the CCP and China are one and the same but they are not.

Costco thinks a recession is coming. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/costco-execs-warn-looming-recession-175906184.html

Its something about the ingredients or manufacturing process. US chocolates are more grainy (maybe that's how they are preferred in the US I don't know, its just not to my liking) and often have cheaper ingredients. Even Sees uses Corn Syrup instead of sugar, vanillin instead of vanilla, etc. in some of their chocolates. For the prices they charge you would hope for better ingredients. They claim "We only use the highest quality ingredients - see for yourself!" https://www.sees.com/ingredients/ The best chocolates I have eaten was in Paris. It was a store called Patrick Roger.

Sees is ok. It’s good not great. Buffett is just marketing it. Cadbury’s used to be decent till Kraft messed it up. Lindt manufactured in the US also doesn’t taste as good as the imported stuff. Most Hersheys and Mars chocolates just taste terrible especially Hersheys. Belgian/Swiss are our favorite. Now I need to stock up on some Lindt Gold bars.

The best ones usually end up moving out of China/India/etc to the US/Europe.
