LOL! Is Prem "Neo"? Cheers! No but it was suggested by some that Stevie was a Sith Lord. LOLOL I thought he was the "Agent" from the Matrix...but then again, he looks more like Darth Vader without his helmet on. Cheers!

LOL! Is Prem "Neo"? Cheers!

Please read attached file. That will only get you half-way up to speed. Cheers! This is with Fairfax. What's the connection with you personally? None personally, other than run-ins with a couple of their cohorts over the same issues in person and through the predecessor of this message board. If you guys weren't here back then, you wouldn't have a clue what occurred. Ask Cardboard, Uccmal, Bsilly, Daphne et al. Cheers!

Oh, woe is Steve Cohen's charmed life these days...now his ex-wife receives favorable treatment in her suit against him! ;D Cheers! http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-04-03/steven-cohen-s-ex-wife-has-her-suit-against-him-reinsted.html

On the opposite end of FD, if message boards worked great for Short scams, how about Social media? That's my concern. Cheers!

Wow! Cheers! http://finance.yahoo.com/news/sec-says-companies-announce-key-194006220.html;_ylt=ArFTSRIlWybW6lNaXNPc1mmiuYdG;_ylu=X3oDMTNyMGtjMjl1BG1pdANGUCBUb3AgU3RvcnkgTGVmdARwa2cDNWIzODA1OWUtOTg2Ny0zMjU0LWFiOGItYjYwZjE4ZGVmNmQ0BHBvcwMzBHNlYwN0b3Bfc3RvcnkEdmVyAzkwZWI1YjMzLTliZGMtMTFlMi1hN2Y3LTNmMzlhODE3NGQ5Mg--;_ylg=X3oDMTIzN3RqNXM5BGludGwDdXMEbGFuZwNlbi11cwRwc3RhaWQDBHBzdGNhdANob21lBHB0A3NlY3Rpb25zBHRlc3QDTmFjZWxsZV9PZmY-;_ylv=3

Parsad, give everyone a change. Everyone is trying to figure out how much they can compound at so they can appropriately size their donation. But seriously GL! Alnesh has a huge lead, but he started two weeks earlier than me...so hopefully we'll be able to overtake him by June 9th. I've got to get a bunch of offline pledges this week from family and friends, although he was smart and has already tapped more than half of our family! Cheers!

Thanks Folks...the response was really quick...wow! Keep'em coming. Cheers!

Ok fellow boardmembers! As you know, I started supporting the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation after my friend and Prem Watsa's executive assistant, JoAnn Butler, passed away. She suffered from Crohn's all of her life, and passed away from colon cancer which Crohn's patients are much more susceptible to. Our Fairfax Financial Shareholder's Dinner raises money for the CCFC in JoAnn's name, and last year we raised over $100,000 with BC's first ICE Gala which I helped with. Alot of you support the dinner in Toronto, and because of that, they asked Corner Market Capital to be one of their corporate chairs for their National Gutsy Walk on June 9th. So Alnesh and I have a grudge match going on who can raise the most in pledges. Even though he is part owner of Corner Market Capital, he's got a corporate team for his accounting firm, Quantum Advisory Partners LLP, doing the Vancouver walk. While Corner Market Capital, along with my friends and family, are doing the Surrey walk. So, I thought I would tap into my huge base of value investors, while Alnesh taps into his huge base of mining/accounting clients. To pledge for my team and walk, go to: https://secure.ccfcfindthecure.ca/ParticipantPage.aspx?L=2&CCID=107&PID=24272&GC=GTv2 You can pledge whatever you want...10 cents to $10,000...as if! Every penny counts so that I can kick Alnesh's butt. Cheers and thanks!

Yes, I'm not sure why it said Apple, when it was really about Andy Zaky. I've changed the title to the same as the article and link. Cheers! Who has heard of Andy Zacky vs who has heard of AAPLE. Inter net marketing 101 if you want clicks use chicks, sex sells. Sorry if the title was misleading LOL! No worries. Cheers!

Too kind! I'm just a long-term visitor in Italy wondering, like twacowfca, why my US dollar seems so eviscerated, but nevertheless enjoying the 'bread and cheese' as well as the sights of the 'old world' (and happy to lose those 5 lbs!) I think eating bread, especially freshly baked Southern European ,and cheese is way under rated and undervalued especially if you throw in some inexpensive but good wine. I wonder if they are not a lot smarter then the rest of us who work our ass off, are always in a hurry, eat crappy fast food, etc Living a simpler life without high stress and high expectations has appealed to me recently. Sorry a bit off topic Funny, that's what I had for dinner last night...but here in Vancouver. Some focaccia bread, some good olive oil and balsamic vinegar, some brie & blue cheese, and a glass of a nice Gwertztraminer...while watching Shark Tank! ;D Cheers!

Portfolio manager, Michael Steinberg, is the latest Cohen crony to be charged by the government. Cheers! http://money.cnn.com/2013/03/29/investing/sac-capital-trader-arrested/index.html?source=cnn_bin

Canada has their own currency unlike Cyprus. They can issue their currency as much as they want, recap the banks, keep them solvent and continue to insure deposits to $100K per account name. That $100K may be worth less, but the government can continue to print money and insure deposits. Cheers!

No such luck, but who knows! Cheers!

Could we somehow see a booth for Wind Mobile at the AGM next to a Blackberry booth, if this happens? Cheers! http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/fairfax-mulls-bid-for-wind-mobile/article10545460/

Hi Scc, No, there is no limit, as Fairfax said they will just get a bigger bus! ;D We won't cancel it now...I've got at least 12 people so far. Cheers!

Not sure. Just know that it is William Ashley & Sporting Life. Cheers!

I always wait for Francis' annual report. It's short, but he puts things quite succinctly. While some of you ponder Fairfax's worries and their hedged portfolio, Francis lays out a better case of why people should worry a bit rather than Fairfax's more discreet commentary. Always a good read! Cheers! http://www.choufunds.com/pdf/AR12.pdf

He actually presented twice...once yesterday on investing and once today on his foundation, Dakshana. Pretty amazing how Dakshana has come together, and it never would have without the Pabrai Family, the team here and in India, the students working hard, Prem's five-year donation, and all of the other donors. He's going to change so many lives...not only in the present, but likely generations. Cheers! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGA8qj3opso&feature=youtu.be

LMFAO! Mohnish is going to bug me about this one! Versace meets hamburgers. Are they going to get a license to sell high end Tequila? This is like a crazy idea that Turtle from "Entourage" gets Mark Cuban to buy into! Cheers!

Hey you turkeys! So far I've only gotten four responses. If I don't hear from people, I'm going to cancel this thing. How can you guys turn down a free bus to take you to Fairfax companies, discounts, gift cards and lastly...my charming company! If you want me to save you a seat, email me at cornerofberkshireandfairfax@gmail.com. Thanks!
