my guess is Fiserv

The only person's buying pattern you all should be concerned about is Eddie Lampert. Tell me when Eddie Lampert buys either the commons or preferred. Whatever he buys, sell everything you own and buy that.

I find it interesting that Fairholme did not send an e-mail to their investors citing the New York times article as they have done in the past. I suspect that there may be more information and Fairholme didn't want to send weekly e-mails to their investors when they could combine the information into one.

I'm interested to see if he adds here, considering Berkshire sold all of their WMT.

I live in the GTA and work in downtown Toronto, and the other day I was riding on Go Train (for folks who aren't familiar it transports people from the suburbs into the downtown core) to work and the person sitting beside me was chatting on their phone, and was gleaming with joy that he bought a house for 1.1 million with no conditions as he stated "In this market you can't put any conditions on offers". He then mentioned to his friend that he needed to "hit it out of the park" when he puts his house up for sale to be able to make it work. He then mentioned that once he gets possession he will redo the kitchen as the real estate agent said it would add $75k in value. I was ready for Ashton Kusher to jump out and scream "You got Punked!" but there was no camera crew, there was just a guy who got up and disembarked from the train like that was normal. This is one of many stores that just seem all too common now a days in GTA real estate.

Steve Mnuchin and Bruce Berkowitz both sit on the BOD of SHLD. Mnuchin will have to relinquish his role if he is appointed, however Bruce and his team should have no problem getting a sit down with him, once appointed.

Excellent interview, thanks for posting.

I haven't read the letter yet, does Bruce think the sum of parts is $125 for the assets Sears has left? not including Seritage?

Has there been any progress on the Perry Case? Last I heard that they were going to appeal the judges decision but I haven't heard anything since. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Say hi to Berkowitz for me if you spot him in the crowd.
