  6. The lawyers are circling on the Zentih deal: BOULDER, Colo., Feb 18, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The Shuman Law Firm today announced that it is investigating potential breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law on behalf of shareholders of Zenith National Insurance Corp. ("Zenith" or the "Company") (NYSE: ZNT) in connection with their attempt to sell the Company to Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited ("Fairfax") (TSX: FFH). Under the terms of the transaction, Zenith shareholders will receive $38.00 in cash for each Zenith share of common stock they own for a total transaction value of approximately $1.4 billion. For the quarter ending September 30, 2009, Zenith reported gross profit of $156.888 million and net income of $19.2 million as compared to gross profit and net income of $139.177 million and $1.8 million, respectively, for the prior quarter. Also, at least one analyst has set a price target for Zenith stock at $40.00 per share. The investigation concerns whether the Zenith Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties to Zenith stockholders by failing to adequately shop the Company before entering into this transaction and whether Fairfax is underpaying for Zenith shares, thus unlawfully harming Zenith stockholders. If you are interested in discussing your rights as a Zenith shareholder, or have information relating to this investigation, please contact Rusty E. Glenn toll free at 866-974-8626 or email Mr. Glenn at rusty@shumanlawfirm.com.

  7. I believe that 10% of annual Neb Furniture sales occur at annual meeting....BRK has got to be the only company whose annual meeting pays for itself! Anybody know about other subs meeting sales?
  8. Thanks for the link to the video, always good to go back and hear what was said. I absolutely agree that if a net buyer this is a good thing, because a relentless (501-c3 imposed) selling of 3-5% will takes it toll and depress stock....however the 50-1 split (which is not contingent on the BNSF deal) should add significant volume and may more than offset. Question Value-is-what-you-get...why 5-10 years time frame? Is that the period WEB's shares will be gifted? Thanks.
  9. Thanks Parsad for the link to Patch's letter. Because the allegations against the shorts are now heating up again and "new" information seems to support FFH, I wonder if a settlement is perhaps lurking in the shadows?
