tombgrt Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Another 40% to go, no? If you want a replay of 1929-1937, look at the Greek stock market. ;) Full disclosure: Fully aware that the stock can half from here (like any stock) and it hurts but I bought more Intralot today. Almost all revenue is coming from outside Greece. Stock tanked 30% in a couple of days on volume of 500k euro. Not bad for a company that - could - (someday...) have a market cap a couple of times todays. Also eyeing OPAP if this get worse. Anyone got other good greek names?

txlaw Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Daphne is referring to the hedges, presumably. Of course, the S&P 500 is still up almost 60% in the last 3 years so . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraven Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Well, Connie Francis would agree with you I suppose. I'm not sure about others, but Connie Francis for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCG Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Daphne is referring to the hedges, presumably. So they've been dead wrong for the last 6 years, but the market declines over a week & 1/2 period, and now they're right? This thread is ridiculous.

Yeah, I agree, although I would tend to be a bit more . . . shall we say, tactful? Actually, I love to see this sort of sentiment get expressed by value investors because that's how you really know that people are fearful. Twitter is also great (or, maybe, horrible?) for gauging market sentiment amongst value investors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoCitiesCapital Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 They're certainly going to kill it with their bonds. I love the deflation protection but that on top of billions in low yielding bonds and hedged equities does seem like a bit much. Still looking to buy more in the New Year if it's reasonably priced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they've been dead wrong for the last 6 years, but the market declines over a week & 1/2 period, and now they're right? This thread is ridiculous. I know you don’t like how Fairfax operates. And that’s fine! But let me ask you a question: if the market stays in some kind of turmoil for a while (a few months), if US government bond yields keep going down, and if Fairfax share price declines with the overall market, don’t you think it could be worth buying at least some shares before they announce 2014 year end results?

It's like someone buying JC Penny at $40, and then boasting that they were right when 2-years later the stock goes from $5 to $7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partner24 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Obviously, it's far too soon to say that they were right. Even if time tells us that they were right, it is certain that they were too early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
