Ike, >>1) these two blokes, Glass and Steagle, is it ? did they play for the cubs ?<< I'm not sure, but they're still waiting for a world series. >>2) does the repeal of this ancient act impact our beloved berkshire ?<< Nothing impacts our hero except kryptonite (g). I don't know all the details. I would guess that a lot more financial firms are now in play. So I'd expect to see some speculation in that area. I don't see too much effect on Berkshire though. I think the insurance arm can compete with anyone. If anything, Warren will turn it into a positive even if I can't figure out how. That's part of the reason I'm invested there. I can't go to the hoop like Michael Jordan either but I can recognize his greatness. Maybe it will put my other insurance holding (mercury general) in play. Wayne
