Yes - I've recently bought LBRDK

No - thank you Sanjeev for everything you do. All good!! @Parsad

I know people HALF WEB's age that ramble 2x as much. Give me a break.

'Take me to an art museum and I just wanna know where the mens room is..' lol

@John Hjorthit's there in the Q .. just search for it ... BTW great to see you posting again! I've always found your insights helpful & interesting! Cheers - VM

wow - what a strong quarter!! MSR is finally turning around/improving. You know if Abel is taking a more active approach to improving operations there?!

Article was total crap. Literally not even worth reading

@thepupilhow about Preferreds? This Liberty Preferred: LBDRP is unique and has sold off very hard recently from about $30 to $26. It's backed by Charter's cash flow and is a legacy preferred in the capital structure from Liberty's merger with GCI. 7% coupon and par is $25 ... so you are getting it at a YTM of high 6% currently

@thepupilstupid question but does an MLP bond issue a K1 like the stock??

@thepupil How about NYSE: MHN ... down 20% YTD, -6% discount to NAV, monthly distribution, distribution rate of 5.6% which is a tax equivalent yield of over 10%+, 85% of the portfolio is rated A or higher ... thoughts?

High quality munis are getting CRUSHED. This tends to happen every 5-7 years. This is an interesting piece of paper. @thepupil thank you for the idea ... I have some research to do ... what other NY munis are on your radar list??

Great stuff. Thank you @gfp

Closed End Muni Funds have been CRUSHED YTD ... some down -25% to -30%. I live in NYC and have been looking at Blackrock MuniYield NewYork Quality Fund: NYSE: MYN. -8% discount to NAV ... fairly high quality ... and about an 11% tax adjusted yield ... these are super long duration assets with leverage. I do agree there is some wreckage here that is worth looking into for those of us that general hate fixed income

Charlie Rose is not as good of an interviewer anymore. That said, Warren is as sharp as ever. Thank you for posting this!!

Looks like the Y deal will all but close. Go Shop ends tonight at Midnight EST. No one is willing to outbid Berkshire here esp given the mark-to-market losses on the fixed income portfolio in 1Q. The Agg had its worst quarter in 40 years down -6% !!

May reset rate is a whooping 9.62% !!!!!

Bought some OXY equity near the close. I've very interesting in following this one closer.

I dont think there will be another bidder for Y. Y fits really nicely inside of BRK for many reasons. It's a solid acquisition!!

Funny - that also really stood out to me as well @CassiusKing1

Of what? Pipeline assets? The 8% preferred with warrants was a no brainer. The common stock at $55...not so much

I dont see another bidder coming through - although I could be wrong. I think the rise in Y's price was driven by ETF flows. Look at the trading pattern in the stock. Also the size wasnt that large.
