i was thinking the same thing yesterday when my book arrived...sheesh, we need bigger fonts!

Last one I see is less than a year ago. https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/news/jun2824.pdf so maybe next month he will make a donation to Gates Foundation

We need to go back to only letting Becky Quick ask questions…sheesh

Welp, looks like the party is over with Sham and PGNT. News Releases "While this is more than enough, there is much more. Among other issues, the Audit Committee, based on information available to it, also concluded that Mr. Gad’s self dealing extended to misappropriation of corporate assets for personal benefit. Between 2022 and 2024, without Board authorization, Mr. Gad expensed to the Company over $82,000 worth of MLS season tickets to Miami FC and Atlanta FC. The Company has no operations in Atlanta or Miami, although Mr. Gad lives near Atlanta. In November and December 2024, after his termination, Mr. Gad apparently became aware that the Company learned of the misappropriation of corporate funds related to the tickets and he reimbursed the Company; however, Mr. Gad only returned just over $15,000."

I have never seen any stories on that, is he still making those books?

Anyone watching the PGNT and OPTT proxy battle, looks like Sham wins the 1st round with the delay in the annual meeting

https://www.amazon.com/Adventures-Renaissance-Academic-Investing-Scientific/dp/9813148292 I thoroughly enjoyed the stories in this book. He is very similar to Ed Thorp and there are actually some Ed Thorp stories in the book. There are many gambling(especially sports gambling and racetrack gambling) & investing stories, research studies , and arbitrage topics.

He has some fun tales of trading stocks, commodities, and venture capital and even playing poker over the past 50 years.

BTN owns 30% of a company called GreenFirst Forest Products, https://gffp.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Itasca-GreenFirst_11_9_2020.pdf Paul Rivett, former president of Fairfax, is on the board there along with Rick Doman. Canadian lumber mill bought out of bankruptcy, could be interesting.
