They take your name and maybe a phone number and give you a shareholder lanyard

Sorry to say…this whole discussion has turned very tedious

Feeling muddy?

What you fail to see is that cheapness is not the only measure of value. Prem plays three dimensional chess and you’re limiting yourself to one.

Fair and friendly has to do with brand and reputation. It’s what brings good deals to the doorstep.

Release date should fall around the end of July or start of August latest. I’m guessing July 31. It won’t be announced until about a week before.

You do realize that this is just political posturing during a highly contested election.

Addressing one dartmonkey point, the US already has 16 banks operating in Canada as well as banks from many other countries. These claims appear to be more smoke not dissimilar to the false assertions around drug and migrant flow from Canada.

Dazel I’m so glad to see you back. Long before Viking graced our shores, you were our north Star, our voice in the wilderness. We missed you.

I first bought FFH in 1993-94 at about $40 and sold at about $400 around 1998. Got back in around 2002 at about $165 and still own most of those shares.

We saw some serious blocks today safety

Nuclear power company Westinghouse Electric and Seaspan ULC said on Thursday they have signed a memorandum of understanding to help expand nuclear projects in Canada and around the world. With nuclear power garnering renewed interest as a cleaner energy source, countries such as Italy, United Kingdom, China and the United States are looking into nuclear technology firms such as Westinghouse to meet their carbon emission goals. Westinghouse said Seaspan, which provides services such as shipbuilding and maintenance, has the potential to manufacture key components, including pipe spools and steel structures, used in its nuclear reactors.

Hoping FFH is sweeping the floor at these rock bottom prices

Eurobank produced another solid set of results in the first half. EPS amounted to 20cents, tangible book value per share increased to €2.25, while RoTBV reached 18.5%.

Political backdrop is ignored at your peril…its an important component of risk management.

It was a part of a larger analysis on what to expect from cdn insurers this reporting season

* Fairfax Financial Holdings Ltd. ( FFH-T +0.63%increase ) to $2,000 from $1,900. Average: $1,828.09. Analyst: “We believe Fairfax’s current valuation does not fully reflect the company’s earnings potential and remains an attractive opportunity for investors. We believe the stock should garner a sustainable re-rate on the back of the organic expansion in its insurance operations, which likely enhances the company’s ROE and the growth rate potential of its book value, and potentially adds greater consistency to both metrics. The company is likely well positioned for the current rate environment and has locked in a much higher run-rate of operating investment income as a result of the rise in bond yields and its short-duration portfolio. Further, given its value investing approach, we think it has the potential to continue to generate outsized investment returns – even against a backdrop of more modest equity market returns. The company has demonstrated resilience through the business cycle and turbulent financial markets, but we view it as a less defensive play than more traditional publicly listed insurers. At this stage of the market cycle, this likely provides an attractive balance: downside protection thanks to the relative resilience of insurance operations through a potential recession, and upside potential when markets recover. We believe the company is overlooked or unloved by investors, and continues to trade well below its intrinsic value. We are bullish on the name and believe Fairfax is well positioned to successfully navigate the current environment and remains one of our top ideas for 2024. Fairfax’s valuation discount remains wide despite showing strong growth and enhanced ROE potential. FROM TODAYS GLOBE AND MAIL
