  1. This is his short-film which won him US$200 when he's in high-school: :'(
  2. Thanks for the advice, I'm pulling him out of school NOW!
  3. Thank you all for sharing the experience and advice. We live in Toronto and my son majors in Economics at NYU. His passion is in film-making, but realizes the only job available after graduation is to wait on tables :(
  4. Name him Charlie if it's boy! :D
  5. Hi, all respectful value investors: Kindly let me know if your or any organization you know is hiring summer student for 4 months starting May. My son is a first-year university student and looking for a summer job. He's willing to do any type of office or field work before resorting to the last resort of working at a fast-food joint. IMHO, a first-year university student's choice is very limited regardless what their major is because initially they have nothing to offer to the employer and adds no value to the company. The only useful skill I can see is his expert use of various social media apps. Hence, it's understandable for employers to give him skunk work such as photocopying, data-entry, data-cleansing, cold-calling, data-collection on the web, regardless his intelligence level. By the way, he gets more thrills from crashing a professional baseball game in Korea (https://youtu.be/Ke_XgF35LSg) and getting 80,000 hits on YouTube than meeting Buffett in person. Can't understand the teens nowadays >:( There's no need to lecture him on pursuing one's passion or doing what he loves. Any other tips on helping a teenager find a first job are helpful and will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
  6. Two more days of 6% drop each will create buying opportunities for those who missed out owning FFH before! ;)
  7. The Matryoshka Nesting Dolls? :) Meaning of Russian Wooden Stacking Doll https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matryoshka_doll 8)
  8. For Canadian shareholders, is the US$10 dividend converted to Cdn$ by the brokerage firm or by FFH first and then distributed to shareholders?

  10. Read the lines below the sale sign :) Also attached is a bunch of members on this message board at Piccolo's last night, enjoy and cheers!
  11. Anyone has a question for Buffett? I can submit it to the reporter (http://news.cntv.cn/special/jizheguilai/fuyuPAGE1368069769181598/index.shtml) who will interview him next weekend as she did in the past each year: http://tv.cntv.cn/video/C10329/2925896759784c51a861319c2244925f
  12. simply let me now if you need one, I have extra ones.
  13. Hey, Sanjeev: Is that a typo you had there, free refreshments for everyone? ;D Soon it will be free parking once we have $2,000 per share! LOL :)

  15. In addition to be a trade-show greeter, I'd like it's my dream job to read internet posts! 8)
  16. Good POINT, in CAD: http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=FFH.TO 8)
  17. Hope FFH will put up a Ping Pong table at the annual meeting so that I can be challenged and if the first person who beats me in a 5-point game, then I'll personally donate 1 share of FFH to Toronto Sick Kids Hospital Foundation provided the per-share price is at or above $700 at the time of my defeat! But if my challenger loses, then he or she will donate loonie or twoonie to the same Foundation. Here is me challenging Ariel Hsing at last year's Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting in Omaha, which should "scare" many challengers away! LOL :) What do you folks think of the idea?
  18. I will put my money on BYD rather than TSLA though I dare not short TSLA, yet 8)
  19. You'd be surprised to learn many still think Buffett is stuck in Graham's classic "cigar-butt" mode! LOL :)
  20. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/berkshire-soars-buffett-shifts-focus-050007019.html Sit back and enjoy the biggest rise yet to come for generations!

  22. Just for you, longinvestor, it's changed now and enjoy the ride, it will be there sooner than expected! :)
  23. Anyone else selling?
  24. No worries, Cdn$ will be at par with US$ by the time FFH.TO reaches $1,000! :)
  25. Let the real race begin! http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=FFH.TO http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=MKL
