  1. Amen to that!
  2. Nothing to worry about, the pardon goes back 11 years, lol.
  3. Google trends for "Fairfax Financial". Looks like MW broke the downtrend in interest in the company.
  4. Lol, but he sold 30% lower than me! Anyway, these were trading shares, less than 1/15th of my core position. I'd happily buy them back a few percent lower, but kinda hope I'll never get the chance.
  5. Sold excess FFH, sniff. Back to core position.
  6. I wouldn’t expect any great reforms from Merz in Germany. Here is what he said on TV recently: “Christian Lindner [liberal democrat party leader] had called for daring "more Milei" - i.e. to take the ultra-libertarian Argentine president as a model. Merz "was completely horrified" about this comparison: "What this president is doing there ruins the country, trampling on the people." He’s an empty suit who doesn’t know what he is talking about, and will enter into a coalition with the social Democrats or the green party. Only cosmetic changes are possible in such a coalition. Doesn’t mean the German stock market (DAX) can’t continue to perform at 8.5% CAGR (since inception), including dividends.
  7. Thank you Parsad and all the great people here!
  8. Germany needs its own D.O.G..E…News article today: “German Ministry of Defense wants to spend 825 million Euros on dress uniforms”. That’s more than €4000 per soldier for a jacket, shirt, pants and shoes. Also totally unnecessary at the moment.
  9. Hope you have a couple of mil set aside just in case. I can't help but remember my brother, who, at age 22, managed to get some shares in an IPO in the dot.com era which 100x'ed. His investment went from 5000 to 500000 - life changing money, enough to buy a house. I told him various time on the way up to sell half and minimize regret, but he wouldn't. 24 years later with two kids and he still rents.
  10. Possible timing system for the sell decision by Jim (mungofitch): https://www.shrewdm.com/MB?pid=579967243
  11. Sold VOO, BEN, BABA and META. Bought UAA and KHC.
  12. Looks like it will hit Central America. Unless it goes to the furthest east that is projected (white arrow), then it would be in play for the US.
  13. Already bounced back...something is going on with FIH.U.
