giofranchi Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Yes! Thank you very much, Sanjeev! Sorry I wasn’t able to attend your annual meeting after the FFH’s, but Laura was tired and I HAD to behave more like a tourist than like an investor… I hope you understand what I mean! ;) Cheers, Gio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roundball100 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Sanjeev - thanks again for the pre-meeting dinner and the post-meeting MPIC mini-meeting. Sounds like you are making great progress, and in the Fairfax way. Norm - thanks for the Wednesday afternoon event on the 19th floor; was great to hear Francis, Sam M. and Guy Spier share some thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wondering Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Three cheers for Sanjeev. As usual, I had a great time. Excellent speakers at the dinner, although I wish Francis Chou and Sam Mitchell spoke more (...I know, I know - I am like a spoiled child - I have so much, and still I want more).

giofranchi Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Back at the office today, after a very pleasant trip first to Ottawa then to Kitchener-Waterloo, where I was born and where I remember spending many summers as a kid with my parents, while they were lecturing at the University of Waterloo. It has been very nice indeed to see those places again! :) The two most important takeaways from the FFH annual meeting imo follow: 1) FFH remains the only investment I know which will perform well, should something seriously go wrong with this global deleveraging we are living through. With “should something seriously go wrong” I mean: stock prices correct violently downward AND STAY DOWN FOR A PROTRACTED PERIOD OF TIME. 2) FIH is a vehicle that should be able to compound at high rates of return for a very long time to come.

gary17 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Hey Gio, I did not know your were from Waterloo! I did my graduate studies there :) Nice town, love the Uptown and Kitchner area - nothing like Europe , of course, but it has its own Canadian character which I really like!

Gary Hi Gary, I am actually! :) And I would say the Campus of the University of Waterloo is getting better and better, putting to shame many campuses of the most prestigious universities in Europe. I think it is something to be proud of! Cheers, Gio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JoelS Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Did anyone manage to get notes from the meeting? It'd be much appreciated if notes can be shared. Thanks, Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoringBuyAndHold Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 This is overdue to be said, but should be said nonetheless. Thank you Sanjeev et al. The dinner and pre-dinner meeting was my first this year. I have been going to FFH AGM for about 10 years but always forgot to buy a ticket (until it was sold out). Well done. Enjoyed the speakers at the predinner meeting and at the dinner. Really enjoy the like minded friendships I have and am developing00. I have only been to Omaha twice (the last 2 years). I suspect FFH meetings are like Berkshire meetings were years ago (before hitting the 25,000 and 33,000 mark). Same great content but WAY more intimate. Really well done.Thank you. Count me in for next year. Michael Sheahan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
