I would be surprised if Fairfax has not been selling BB as the stock price increased in Q2. 

I would be too, and so much the better. They have been very slowly reducing it: 5,940,000 shares sold in Q2 2025, 5,389,380 in Q3 and 415,100 in Q4, all at something like half today's price, so who knows what they will have done in Q1 2026 at similar prices and now in Q2 at much higher prices.

I think we know they did nothing with BB in Q1 2026 already.

Yea come on Prem, sell that fucker and use the proceeds to buyback more stock. 

And take the capital loss to offset some of the Poseidon gains.

Those aren't bad ideas, but won't it matter which subs hold what and where the gains/losses are?  Regardless, I would prefer they use the BB money and buyback FFH shares.  Cheers!

Both are a headwind to book value:

 

The real reason rising interest rates and a falling stock price are a headwind to book value is they both mean more buybacks at a slight premium to book 😉

 

Long may it last.
