Klarman is brilliant, with a reasonable claim to being the greatest value manager of all time. His limited run book sells for $1000s per copy. Note though, that he made his money finding value in market-distorting ‘special situations’ (it was easier in the ‘80s and ‘90s). He was never a Soros-like ...

I backed up my truck tonight and put in the orders! Can’t fill truck up any more. It is spilling over. Tony Does your truck have a hitch? You could hook up a trailer and keep backing up. That is an awesome idea and one that I will have to consider. That will hold even more shares of our fund! Tony ...

A fitting end to a crazy year, unexpectedly achieving some g...

Plants! I love propagating and growing them. Pothos, Orchids, various cacti, among other house plants. So much fun and gives you always something to look forward to.

I prefer the high arch faucets. Ive placed them in all my bathrooms and will in my kitchen soon. They are much easier to use in my opinion. Splashing shouldn’t be an issue unless you are one of those people that thinks the water is either off or full blast.
