December 29, 2023 close was $1228.90! What a year !! Repeat in 2025!

I think they keep it at $15 but what do i know. Historical dividend.

Seaspan is building two new Joint Support Ships for the Canadian Navy in North Vancouver. First one will come online in 2025. Pretty neat https://www.canada.ca/en/department-national-defence/services/procurement/joint-support-ship.html https://www.seaspan.com/stories/delivering-the-new-protecteur-class-to-the-royal-canadian-navy/

10+ years old and still behind a paywall. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-investor/investment-ideas/why-does-the-sptsx-60-exclude-some-of-canadas-biggest-stocks/article19057449/

We crashed it!

I created this topic kinda open ended on purpose. Found this S&P calculator. It's amazing the dumb luck the mooch has.

$1986 you say? It's fun to read the 1986 Letter to Shareholders https://www.fairfax.ca/wp-content/uploads/1986-Letter.pdf

There seems to be some anecdotal information online that US based companies are trying to hedge against future US tariffs by purchasing as much product and having it land before Trump takes office. Won't this increase inflation over the next 3 months? An example would be softwood lumber prices increasing as its sure to be tariffed again. Looking for more examples and comments on this.

I'm looking forward to dropping starlink in the next 12 months at our cabin. I don't think he understands the opportunities he has lost due to his hubris. Oh well.. I choose to no longer participate.

+103.35 (5.97%)today at 12:39 Central Time Market cap in USD It might finish the year above those.

10-15 years ago, there were lots of conversations about overstock and naked short selling on this board (including MSN on this). I was wondering what happened to Patrick. I think he was also in Buffett's orbit too. I think Warren knew him and had convesations with him. I somewhat knew he tied his horse Trump and stop the steal. His wikipedia article seems to be up to date. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_M._Byrne 2019 seems to be when things went sideways. Seems to be in Dubai now. Anyway, I thought it was an interesting.

Best time of year to do it in some respects. They have a pretty good idea of how they will end FY2024. Maybe it pushed it up?

Isn't the end result the same? House destroyed or damaged anyway.

I love how Brian Bradstreet organically found CDS's.

As per the 2023 Shareholders Letter I'm curious about the turnaround plan. Created this as a tracking post more than anything.

Yoga pants is down to 25th with $33.19 B market cap. FFH is up to 28th with $31.96 B market cap. FFH is beating Great-West Life who are now at 29th with $31.75 B market cap.

Yoga pants is down to 14th while FFH is up to 30th. When will FFH beat Yoga pants?

I wonder where they will end up on the list at the end of 2024. Will the market cap beat yoga pants? https://companiesmarketcap.com/canada/largest-companies-in-canada-by-market-cap/ FFH is currently at position 34 with $22.52 B while yoga pants is at 10 with $62.84 B. List looks to be USD.

Markets don't open tomorrow right? Closed till Monday?

Can politics be removed from the Recent Posts on the main page?

https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/ransomware-hack-recipe-unlimited-restaurant-cyberattack-1.4847487 On Monday, Recipe Unlimited — formerly Cara Operations — said it was hit with a "malware outbreak" that's affecting operations at a "limited number" of its restaurants including brands Swiss Chalet, Harvey's, Milestones, Kelseys, Montana's, Bier Markt, and East Side Mario's.

More details on the Arctic Gateway Group deal https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/churchill-rail-repairs-sale-1.4823974

It's big news here in Manitoba. It took a long time to get this deal done. They see some value in this as they kept going after the deal. Hopefully the line gets back into service before freeze up. I'm not sure what the value is at this point but they also got the port.
