Yup, you too Cod! But he doesn't have to use "President Trump". He can also just say "current administration." Cheers!

Spek, please try to use "current administration" next time. What you said can be deemed to be inflammatory or antagonistic, which only opens the thread to further political comments. Cheers!

Incidentally, my two cents...looks like interest income from the portfolio is now at a $2.5B per year run rate! If any of you are on the call tomorrow, ask what the average duration is of that portfolio and how many years going forward can we expect that type of annual interest income? I'm guessing the average has extended closer to 5 years. If that is the case, then Fairfax's next 5 years are essentially guaranteed in terms of book value growth and intrinsic value will track that growth. Cheers!

The flurry of activity right after the quarterly report reminds me of how we used to tear apart every quarterly/annual report from Berkshire 25 years ago on the Motley Fool BRK Board. Which led me to creating the predecessor for this current message board. Now, you guys are analyzing FFH in a similar fashion...if history does rhyme...maybe this is 25 years of glorious compounding and investments to come from Fairfax! One can only hope! Cheers!

Anyone who liked The Jackal, may be interested and enjoy The Recruit on Netflix. Created by Doug Liman, who did the Bourne Identity, Suits, Edge of Tomorrow, the new Roadhouse, etc. Very clever, lots of action and the lead actor reminds me of a young Mark Ruffalo but a ton more charisma. A fun show...season 1 came out two years ago, and season 2 just came out. Cheers!

Ahhh...thanks! Cheers!

Yours weren't particularly offensive (political), just too much on multiple threads and it kept the arguments going. It's why you weren't banned. But it was close! Cheers!

There were 7-8 posts through three different threads. The others were flaming each other on a single thread...I had to delete about 25 posts in total, when I finally said, "enough's enough!" Cheers!

Dalal.holdings got the first 30 day ban...who's next? A bunch of you...both on the left and right side were all close, but he kept introducing new political garbage to a few threads. Spek, Greg, Dinar and a few others are on notice. I see any more threads ruined by political posts...I put you on 30-day ban with no warning. This board is going to return to a state of calm and focused on investments...not all of this fucking bullshit permeating the world political stages! Cheers!

I'm with RBC Direct Investing and TD Invest Direct. I'm also a Royal Circle member, but I've never used them for anything. I didn't see anything worth using them for. Do you find any advantages by using them...any discounts or rewards? I just execute trades myself and its faster and easier. Cheers!

August of 1999 was my first B share purchase. Cheers!

Vish, I'm still confused by your spreadsheet...can you put the actual spreadsheet with formulas on the board? Cheers!

I didn't do a single thing when he said that or implemented it. No effect on my investment process or decisions. And that's the way it really should be. Cheers!

Thank you! Cheers!
