Norm: May I have my kids meet you so that you can teach them a few things about good writing? Even more impressive for a well-written article from a physics PhD!

On its way to $1,000: http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=FFH.TO. Again, it usually does so sooner than expected! ;)

I was just going to reply to the thread by telling you to put yourself out of your misery and put in a market order at the open for $200k. ;D If you're lucky with an M.O. you may get it for $210k. :P It's well past $210K now and the next target is $225,000 based on Tilson's estimate. You can be assured it will blow past that sooner than expected! LOL ;)

欢迎Aikum, 恭喜Sanjeev!

So far, Tilson is on the right track: https://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=brka&ql=1 :) Still behind AAPL, XOM, GOOG and MSFT, but will see by May next year for the 50th anniversary in Omaha!

Temperament being equal, genius IQ is better than high IQ which is better than average IQ in investing! One can decide for oneself which level of IQ Buffett/Munger duo possesses. If you're an BRK shareholder, you're already convinced their IQ is higher than yours, which is what matters and everything else is irrelevant, right? :) If you aren't one, then you can debate the IQ issue for decades while coming up with all kinds of reasons for not becoming one: size, succession, scarcity of elephants, the duo's health, age, diet, mental state...

Is IBM a tech? :)

That's a darn good answer, thanks for enlightening me!

The Buffett/Munger duo didn't focus on outsmarting others who are smarter than they're, according to Munger, they did it by avoiding doing dumb things the smarter people do as part of "Invert, Always Invert" approach. He called it "ignorance removal". They're simply humble to say there're a lot more smart people than they're. What are your thoughts?

I will any less than 15! :)

Fill in the blanks: It took 20 years from IPO at $12 to $1,000. - 9 years from $1,000 to $10,000 - 14 years from $10,000 to $100,000 8 years from $100,000 to $200,000 (today, August 14, 2014) ?? Years from $200,000 to $1,000,000

Expecting to be out of misery today! LOL :)

If it doesn't reach the milestone tomorrow, one of you can simply place an order for $200,000 to make me happy! LOL :)

Making another run for $200,000: :) http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=brk-a&ql=1

It's good to under-estimate by everyone and over-deliver by Buffett! Besides, 8.5% compounded for 2 decades years without paying any taxes (until sale) is much better than 8.5% dividend or interest income, right? In addition, if you borrow money at 3% to get 8.5% while the interest expense is 100% deductible against your personal income, then your effective borrowing rate is less than 2%, which translates to even higher return than 8.5%! LOL :)
