What are the rules around Buffett's stake that he's donating to the Gates foundation? Can those shares be bought back in private transaction blocks?

From the ask Ericopoly thread: Posts: 6896 View Profile Personal Message (Offline) Re: Ask Eric! « Reply #14 on: March 15, 2013, 11:36:07 AM » Quote I typically wake around 6 am and check the pre-market quotes while in bed. Then I drink coffee and walk my daughter to her public elementary school where there are only 14 kids in the class in addition to 2 full-time paid assistants. So that's 3 paid adults for just 14 kids. I'm not kidding! And that's a public school in California. Then lately I've been going on a two hour walk (foot surgery two years ago worked out). I get back from that walk and go swimming for a half hour (one thing we splurge on is we keep the pool heated to 90 -- but some of that is solar heating). Then I walk the dogs. Or sometimes I go for a walk with my wife on the beach (she is usually doing her ceramics hobby in her studio). If I don't go for my two hour walk, I'll be the one driving my son to his pre-school. It's about 100 yards from the beach, so I'll leave the car in his school parking lot and go walk the beach, see the pelicans, watch the surfers (his pre-school is basically my parking spot for Hammond's Beach). I go on fishing trips (flyfishing). I've taken horse riding lessons -- we went for a trail ride last night in Death Valley (awesome!). For my 40th birthday my wife is giving me surfing lessons -- so perhaps less watching the surfers from now on and I'll be doing more surfing. Death Valley is hot! Man, it was like 98 degrees yesterday. It's bizarre -- this is winter!

There was also talk years back about being interested in "In n Out Burger".

Picked up a little more BAM.

Thanks for your continued work and sharing of this!

Great conversation. Good stuff all around. Thanks for sharing.

When I was 19 years old I started buying INTC stock. Still have them sitting in a brokerage account. Not sure what the return has been over the past 25 years though.

I remember seeing a write up a few years back discussing In 'n Out Burger. I'm selfishly waiting for this acquisition to happen so that expansion east will follow!

Congrats, great pic!

The Simpsons show called it back in 1999!

What's your opinion of the main stocks of this board: Berkshire, Fairfax and Premier Diversified?

It's simple. They get'em coming and going with KO and Davita!

I have some crazy urge to buy Amazon on Monday, lol.

How much selling pressure will be on the stock while the charities are constantly selling off the stock to raise required capital?

I have enough beer and bourbon in the basement to allow me to forgot the fall of any government.

Bought some BRK.B today.

Agreed. Over the last week especially, I've heard so many talking heads saying that Warren has lost it, he's too old, etc. They're harping on KO, AXP and the stock positions.

I haven't eaten there since the outbreak, but it's not due to the ecoli outbreak. At least in Cincy there are local burrito chains taking market share. One such place is Curritos. They are a block away from the downtown Chipotle location. And yes the Chipotle has a primo location on Fountain Square and most of the time there's a line to the door. However, part of that long line is due to demand, the other part of it is slow service. The Currito location has four registers and two assembly lines. They will move 4 to 5 times the amount of people that Chipotle does during lunch hour easily. Another item is product control. I can go to this Chipotle on several different times, order the same burrito with same ingredients and none will be the same. For consistency and quick service I go to Curritos. I wonder how many other local areas have seen an increase in local burrito joints opening up. Have you seen the same?

welcome to the club :) Congratulations! (it's an easy stock to own, a real armchair ride) Welcome and enjoy! http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTYwMFgxMjAw/z/rQIAAOSwrklVTsmE/$_35.JPG

Got my print in today. Very nice, and larger than I was expecting. Can't wait to frame it and get it on the wall. Thanks again!

Definitely interested in a couple as well.

Dexter shoes, lol!

No offense to anyone involved, but this topic has to be one of the most ridiculous discussions on this board in awhile.

Thanks for the link. Got the 2013 credential I needed, and picked up a Buffett baseball jersey just for ####'s and giggles.
