If not tomorrow, shortly! As Viking has shown in his projections, the consistency of earnings over the next 2.5 years is pretty much written. You're looking at adding $130-140 USD to book every year in 2023, 2024 and 2025. I'm not sure anyone has a story like this! It's there...plain as day in everyone's face and the markets haven't fully recognized it yet! Cheers!

Book value should go over $900 USD by year-end. Looks like 1.2 times book would be $1,080 USD or close to $1,400 CDN. Cheers!

Great review of KW Viking! Cheers!

+1! For the record, I believe that other planets with intelligent life exist. It's just hard not to reconcile that with the sheer vastness of space and simply based on mathematics. But if you keep claiming smoke, I need to at least see the tiniest of sparks! Cheers!

There are immensely different measures of intelligence...some people on the autism spectrum would measure far higher than Elon Musk...there are geniuses in specific areas such as military, industrial, science, mathematics, etc...certain animals would be off the scales based on what their peer group would measure. So it's complete folly and nonsense to have these types of arguments. Cheers!

May have been the smoothest player to ever play football. He looked like it was effortless and he was just dancing with the ball. Explosive speed combined with uncanny ability to break your legs by faking you one way and going the other. Closest example in sports would be Connor McDavid in hockey today or Michael Jordan in his day...they could just do crazy things at full speed or flight! Cheers!

On a separate note...I met Johan Cruijff (Cruyff) when I was 10 years old. He was one of my favorite players and at that time he was playing for the LA Aztecs in the NASL. One of my Dad's old chemistry students, John McGrane, was now playing for the Aztec and arranged for us to go to the afterparty to meet the players. What a memory that was! Cheers!

Thanks Valueseek! My pleasure. Cheers!

But that's kind of the problem...classified or not, the public does not have the documents or evidence. I can tell you I saw a ghost, and there might be hundreds of documented proof of ghosts, but until it all comes out...we stay in the same spot we've always been...no evidence, no facts, can't accept it as truth. Cheers!

No, I got the heads up from a friend that it wasn't worth watching on IMAX unless you wanted to really see that 10 minute sequence on it. Cheers!

No worries. Not a big deal. Cheers!

Yeah, the actors were great, but the movie focused too much on Oppenheimer's life and persecution, than what most people expected...like the Manhattan Project! Huge press about watching it on IMAX, yet the sequences that would have been great in IMAX only made up maybe 10 minutes of the 3 hour movie! Cheers!

The problem is that the three guys, who do seem credible, said that they received information from various sources, but have no actual evidence. For example, one fellow said that a non-human UFO crashed and not only did the government recover the craft but biologics/tissue were recovered. But he has no evidence of this...it's based on the word of other people he's talked to. So I wouldn't blame the media too much. They covered it intensely when it first came out...in particular the videos by the Airforce pilots...but there is a huge dearth of actual evidence other than some of the visual material. Cheers!

Hi John, yeah I think you misunderstood. I took Whats message to be adding amusing quotes to COBF cups/merchandise. For example, "Cheers!" which is what I always end my messages with or maybe something from Greg like "Just buy stocks, God damit!" or Viking "Load up on Fairfax, because the window will close!", etc. He wasn't taking a jab at you or anything like that. Cheers!

Very unique style and voice. Never got to live up to her talent...politics, rants and her son's death shortened her career. Still managed 10 albums! Cheers!

More likely a META short! Cheers!

Thanks! I appreciate the sentiment. For many people...like Greg, Viking, me and so many others...the day isn't complete unless we're on here reading what the members are talking about. Sure we have disagreements, but the world would be absolutely boring if we all thought the same! And we'd probably learn very little! Cheers!

Great idea! I didn't expand on it because I thought just sticking logos on merchandise might be too much. But if I can tie it in to what is happening at COBF and the world, then it might be fun for everyone. Cheers!

I knew that! Although I had no idea what GFY was. Cheers!

LOL! Maybe. Cheers!

No, I don't think it has to do with that. Member were people grandfathered in when we switched over to Invision Forums. Members are people who paid after we switched. I suspect that the two had to do with the way the database for the old members was brought over from the previous forum software and new members were integrated. Cheers!

Don't know...I've never done that and even noticed it! Anyone (Luca) know how to do that? Cheers!

The fee serves two-fold, as I don't need it because the Adsense revenue covers operating costs. The first is as you said, to keep the trolls out and inform me of who is joining. Can you imagine if emails and tweets cost $0.00001? It would get rid of all of the spammers and junk emails/texts! The second is because worthwhile things deserve a sacrifice. I don't know how many people I've talked to about investing because they asked. When I tell them exactly what they need to read, maybe 1% actually get a copy or buy The Intelligent Investor or any other book I recommend. I remember spending money I didn't have to learn about investing...the time...effort...etc. If you aren't willing to make that modest sacrifice, then maybe you just don't deserve it. That guy, like most trolls, just wants to be given everything. His parents did a horrible job and probably spoiled him rotten. Life and other people owe you nothing! Cheers!

LOL! Cheers!

I sent this reply to him, but the message got kicked back. Maybe he was fired today! Thank you for the kind message and putting your Goldman address in the email! I’ll be sending a message to HR. Cheers!
