Harry,OT, Re:"books about Buffett's investment style"

When we last corresponded on this thread in early 2000, you were considering purchasing some BRK. I recall your reluctance due to questions about BRK's insurance business. Did you ever get comfortable enough with the insurance business and "float" to pick some BRK up?

I am glad that I did. Bought some B shares in late 98 and early 99 as prices continued to drop. When Buffett essentially said "BUY,BUY,BUY!" in his annual letter, I couldn't resist picking up more.

As a novice BRK shareholder my understanding of Buffet and his amazing company continues to grow. The wonders of "free" float combined with Buffett's brilliance in capital allocation continue to make for a financially and intellectually rewarding experience.

All the best and Happy New Year.

Jacques

P.S.-Janet Lowe's new bio on Charlie Munger -"Damn Right!"- was an interesting read. I'd recommend reading it if you haven't already.
