Bought some $DE stock.  This is the agriculture equipment company John Deer.  It's a long term compounder selling at 11 PE.   There is a bit of debt, I think around 6x FCF, so some risk but this has historically been a niche sector and perhaps near oligopoly.  Obviously some risks from competition but has historically performed well.

have you looked at $CNH? might interest you.

So I bought ERF in the last month, which makes it a new fifth position in my well diversified portfolio:). I am not sure how I feel about this, but, together with FFH, this makes it is a second company I own now, which is under attack from MW. So far so good (bought it at ~46+ EUR price), but still watch it carefully every day. But despite of this, YTD I was a net seller, and currently am ~80+ invested (from ~110+ at the end of the last year) mainly by further reducing BRKB and META, trimming other big positions somewhat and completely selling other / smaller / more speculative things, which together accounted for a substantial amount of total sales.

Going to hold off and get a bit greedy here, my average buy 6400¥, let's see if I get to average down.

 

First I need to see what I can sell to free up some cash...

Question for the board - with Canadian stock markets being closed today, does anybody remember if US OTC ticker FRFHF trades today?

I know when I'm panicking on the stock market a newly cashed-up Berkshire and a leveraged government bond portfolio in Fairfax are the first sell buttons I smash!

edit: Seems I got in before the outage. Can't log in anymore. Lovely...This happens far too often on big trading days. Downright criminal imo.

Crazy for me personally to read that some you posting above can't get to your funds on a day like this, if you find it time to act.

 

Personally I've never  really been there, left behind, as customer, this way. 

 

Simply not good enough by the financial institution that leaves you behind, hanging to dry. Be demanding, relentless, ruthless and mercyless.

 

Life is too short for that kind of BS.

 

Best of luck with these issues.
