Parsad Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I thought I would start a new thread, as this day deserves its own alongside the "What a Lovely Frickin' Day" post. Is everyone enjoying the ride? ;D Never panic, never sweat folks...it will all be over in a while. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberty Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I'm not panicking, just wishing I had come into this with 100% cash :P But at least the businesses that I own stock in are mostly without debt and have lots of cash to do buybacks or buy underpriced assets, so in the long-term it should turn out well... Just have to be patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsad Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 Think we saw the BAC bottom today. Really! Maybe, maybe not. But it can only go to zero, and we're hell of a lot closer to that than it's 52 week high. ;D Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tombgrt Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I called the bottom when BRK hit $66,50 today, that was insane. I just didn't say it out loud, bad luck. ::) --- Warning - while you were reading 3 new replies have been posted. You may wish to review your post. Easy guys, easy...

Parsad Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 Tom, Fairfax had more firepower ready than any other company I know, so they are probably buying many of the things you want to buy. For example, I'm sure they are adding to their stake in DELL. And their treasuries must have hit a home-run today, so they are almost definitely moving some of that cash to equities. Hold the Fairfax and don't worry about buying Dell! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hold the Fairfax and don't worry about buying Dell! Cheers! I guess you are right. ;) I believe their stake in DELL is around 15% of the equity portfolio so my exposure is there. My feelings are probably more concering "timing the market" now. I see much more upside potential in DELL (and others) in the short run than I see for FFH. But that is just perception and I could be totally wrong. It's about value anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberty Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I never thought I'd see BRK.B selling for $67. wow. Edit: Wow, BRK.B closed at 66.66. Nice number \m/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombgrt Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I never thought I'd see BRK.B selling for $67. wow. Lol $66.66. Nearly 30% from its high this year and 50% from its high in 2007. Wasn't the low of the S&P500 666? ;D It must be Berkowitz facing redemptions! (like he would ever have enough influence ::)). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross812 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I've been buying BAC Class A Warrants. And some BAC common today. (I got the common at 7.40, market timer I am not) I've also been buying Alere (ALR) which is Klarman's 4th largest stock holding. ALR has been on my watch list since last December and has never been quite cheap enough for me. Now it's trading at a 7.8 P/E. $22.57 is cheaper than Baupost bought the stock; so at least you know it passed Klarman's FOS. http://www.dataroma.com/m/holdings.php?m=BAUPOST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RusticFrank41 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Thanks all for your suggestions. I looked at BAC on Google finance and saw that BAC was down over 20%, so I scrolled down to see how the other banks did and I saw this headline : Crabtree & Evelyn NEW ANTI-BAC MOISTURISING GEL giveaway | Chic ... Having a somewhat perverted mind I got quite a chuckle out of the headline. I thought that BAC was giving away moisturising gel to its investors. I hope that I do not offend anyone with this. fdef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always good to look at a Klarman stock on sale. I couldn't figure out exactly why Klarman bought ANV recently, so I didn't buy any, but it has far outperformed other gold stocks lately.

Liberty Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 A good indicator of market valuation would be the number of posts per day on this forum. I bet there's an inversely proportional relationship between the number of posts and number of bargains :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rijk Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 parsad, very good to see that you keep such a good mood! regarding the wish list, i would be really interested in FFH however, FFH has hardly blinked while everyone else is crumbling, you reckon we can get FFH below $350 before this drama is over? regards rijk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
