Uccmal Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 No shit... I think I'll save the 500 bucks and compound it at 20%.
NormR Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 I went to one of these a few years ago to hear Prem. (A fine talk as per usual.) IIRC, I sat beside Brian Bradstreet and generally made a fool of myself. It was a nice day. It had a bit too much non-value stuff at the time but it seems that they've corrected that issue this time around.
NormR Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Lol, I didn't notice immediately that it was the day before the FFH annual meeting. For those who don't want to spend the $500, you can get a ton of value by dropping by the per-dinner event that's been running for several years now. Casual drinks in a local establishment and value stock talk for those who arrive a little early. Actually, I rather suspect that the value-to-price ratio will be rather higher at the pre-dinner event. :)
Packer16 Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 It would be nice if was in the Fall. Then we could have a mid- year event to meet at. Packer
Parsad Posted January 23, 2012 Author Posted January 23, 2012 Hi Folks, To be fair, the Ben Graham Centre's conference has a few things our dinner won't. You get to hear David Winters, Mohnish Pabrai, Jeff Stacey, Wayne Peters, and I believe Sir John's grand-daughter Lauren speak. As well, you get a far more detailed conversation with Fairfax's investee CEO's. Cheers!
