Man, if only all musicians had this much fun performing.
If only all traders had this much fun trading. Personally, I'm almost always on an adrenaline high on the playing field.
(Life, of course, usually balances out the highs with the lows: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyfe_Jennings)
So Berkshire lost quite a bit of money due to disasters in Japan, New Zealand and Australia. That plus the Sokol affair have not affected the stock greatly. Maybe come Monday the market will take note.
ReplyDeleteAre you holding BRK, or looking for an entry?
ReplyDeleteLooking since the Sokol event but not much happening, just a few gyrations off of a high hi. Have been waiting for something bigger. It's as good or better than most mutual funds, as I see it.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of disasters, wonder what CP has to say about this from WSJ: Alabama officials estimated that up to 25% of the poultry houses in the state were destroyed or damaged Wednesday by the tornado outbreak, likely killing millions of birds.
ReplyDeleteIllini-
ReplyDeleteIts becoming easier and easier to cut both landlines and cellphone contracts. I have neither. I use Google Voice which is already installed right next to your incoming emails. Free calls anywhere in the U.S. and Canada. $0.02 pretty much anywhere else in the world.
In addition to that, I have converted my ipod into a mobile phone w/ apps aka an "iphone". I paid $200 for a 32g ipod touch, got a clear wifi mobile hotspot which powers up to 5 devices. I just tested the speed and I'm getting 16.48 mbps on the go.
Anyway, I use the talkatone app on my Ipod which integrates with my Google Voice account. So whenever anyone calls my Google number, it rings to my ipod. It converts all voicemails to text and sends to your Gmail inbox. The killer app is that you can easily record any call. You then have evidence the next time a Directv sales rep tells you that after 2 years, you are no longer under contract and can thus cancel account w/ no penalty....but 2 months later get hit with a $350 fee:)
So what does it cost per month? Just need to pay monthly for the clear hotspot?
ReplyDeleteWhat other devices besides ipod does this work with?
metals getting whacked, esp silver
