  1. do you mind sharing the preferred?
  2. bought back 62 shares . seems they bought some land.
  3. Transatlantic Holdings, Inc. was a buyout target by BRK in 2012, but was trumped by Y after BRK refused to raise its offer( does it ever). Buffett is trying to get the whole enchilada 10 years later (unless someone offers more, in which case doubt he would raise his bid).
  4. remember Y had huge position relative to their portfolio at one time in BNSF.
  5. could he be beefing up on people to help run insurance at BRK along with the company itself?
  6. what is your criteria/preference for buying foreign shares thru ADR or on a US traded market versus the home market. Curious since you trade foreign shares rather routinely. Thanks
  7. not sure recommended, but if like westerns I would recommend Old Henry. Best one I have seen in quite a while.
  8. anyone receive an offer from their brokerage for the FFH dutch auction? nothing from Fidelity.
  9. really liked mr in between. had a comedy aspect to it also. sorry it will not be coming back
  10. if my memory serves me correct, this company also included world book encyclopedia as a division. not sure of the margin on kirby, but I remember World Book's margin as being very high and lucrative-- that is until the cdrom came along.
  11. Seems like lot of insider selling although it appears to be mainly ex Crestmark officers, possibly diversifying?
  12. would anyone have any idea what their buildings entail under property on note 5?

  15. have seen where net worth of individuals are actually on average a fair bit higher for Greece and Italy versus Germany, but have not checked recently. Maybe house ownership in Germany is lower.
  16. excuse my ignorance, but does that affect the holding period of the stock for tax purposes?
  17. fidelity will not let me trade certain illiquid/ pink sheet-type stocks. can anyone recommend an online broker that will permit such? thanks
