Is this the same promoters that got to Pardee Resources?

We read to our kids every night (a story each) and they all are book worms and think out things in a rational manner.

Wasn't one of WEB's best deals was his picking up the bonds that survived the Whoops (Washington Power) bankruptcy?

It has a double discount, one for market value and one for the valuation of Plymouth Rock

gcco and advc are on Schwab and I bought some pktef some time ago.

I have had good luck with Schwab

The Money Masters by John Train is a good strt. It is where I first heard about WEB.

Have him go to the Berkshire site and read the early WEB letters.

I'm trying to convince swmbo (she who must be obeyed) to let me buy a Ferrari as an investment. She says I should keep my 2002 Toyota Tundra and quit dreaming. ;D :)

I suspect that these two have been "unofficial" directors for years. This now makes it official. jmho

FBAK (First national Bank of Alaska) and NRIm (Northrim) are tow who have survived the up and down Alaska economy.

No easy answer, but remember that when he passes you will get a step up in basis. How is his health? Many factors should be considered. Watch out for unintended consequences.
