  1. I agree with Zachman
  2. Hi, Gio: I'll buy the ticket from you as my friend is unable to find the link to purchase the ticket on http://www.cornerofberkshireandfairfax.ca/. I can no longer find it either. Can you please email me the confirmation of your ticket purchase? Thanks, Alan
  3. "At least three — Nadella, Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen and Prem Watsa, who runs Fairfax Financial, the would-be saviour of Blackberry — went to the same public school in Hyderabad," http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2014-02-07/news/47126349_1_satya-nadella-indian-institutes-indra-nooyi
  4. Benny: The advice given is excellent. I wish my teenage kids can be as open-minded as you to seek advice from this board. If you look for fairness, be your own boss :). Only then will you learn to appreciate the beauty of a steady pay-cheque, paid vacation and benefits!
  5. My friend asked me not to post it. Well, we'll see him next month anyhow!
  6. Charlie is very healthy as I have a picture of him with my friend celebrating his 90th birthday. The delay may be due to the postponment of 10-K audit: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-12-31/munger-s-daily-journal-misses-second-reporting-deadline.html?cmpid=yhoo

  8. Gio: I'm going to Italy next year to visit you to get some good tips from you!
  9. Perhaps that's one of the reasons Buffett and Munger don't want to retire, or at least announce the retirement!
  10. Please do your shopping at http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=JCP to help revive this American retail icon! LOL :-)
  11. Enjoy the read: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-10-28/fairfax-at-14-year-high-shows-blackberry-is-gravy.html?cmpid=yhoo
  12. Been doing so for the last 15 years after getting first 200 shares at $498 in 1998. Thus, may well be more tempered and patient than anyone on this board! 8)
  13. The positive must have a heavier weighting than all the negatives! Have a good weekend, everyone, I know I will, just by staring it (http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=ffh.to&ql=1) all day long! LOL ;D
  14. And this is just the warm-up as the race to $900 hasn't started yet: http://finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=IRE+Interactive#symbol=IRE;range=my ! LOL :-)
  15. Despite the hedges working against it and BB's cloud overhead, the multi-year high must be a result of the investment in Bank of Ireland which is a 3-bagger, right? :-)
  16. http://www.businessinsider.com/dont-buy-berkshire-hathaway-2013-10 I suppose the author wasn't born before 2008 as I also ran the numbers! LOL :-) http://finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=BRK-A+Interactive#symbol=brk-a;range=my;compare=spy;indicator=volume;charttype=area;crosshair=on;ohlcvalues=0;logscale=off;source=undefined; Enjoy and cheers!
  17. FFH millionaires are next!
  18. Here is a good one, short and yet full of priceless and timeless insight and advice: http://www.coca-colacompany.com/stories/i-like-to-bet-on-sure-things-warren-buffett-on-why-hell-never-sell-a-share-of-coke-stock
  19. Buffett_Groupie,... You seem to be a financial doctor... ;D But seriously,... somehow I sense that Prem's son, Benjamin seems to be a little more interested in economics and finance than the Buffett boys... Peter and Howard. I might be wrong on my gut feeling, but I also know he seems to be unknown to most of us, and therefor there might be some unexpected surprises. Prem was also considered reclusive some decade ago, so this should apply even more currently to his son. Staying physically healthy is more important than anything else including intelligence, talent, temperament and wealth. Stress and overwhelming workload/responsibilities will result in poor health. I'm sure Steve Jobs on his death-bed would agree to trade 100% of his wealth for a year of good health.
  20. How can one individual oversee a lot of the investment and operational decisions simutaneously? It will be very daunting, difficult and stressful, thus resulting in poor health :-(
  21. I told Sanjeev to send the FFH bus for AGM to my office to fill it with all my staff before heading to William Ashley and Sporting Life! I'm glad the request was declined as one can imagine the lost billable hours! LOL :-)
  22. Hard to do so in a weekday when your time is billable (25 cents/second)! LOL :-).
  23. We were unable to drive the car to the store as all the road were blocked for the Pride Parade. It took me 30 minutes to find a spot 3KM away and I got a parking ticket of $30 :-(.
  24. Yesterday was the last day to redeem the gift card from FFH's AGM. Enjoy and cheers!
