Mike, thanks for the heads up on GMT. Took up my position by about half - figure that takes my average cost to about 33 1/2 or so.

My latest purchase is LDP- an offshore insurance company based in the channel islands. Why am I buying an insurance company? oddly enough it owns a venture capital company and has many venture capital investments, the largest of which in terms of market cap is an optical company called NUFO.
I did not evaluate what I think NUFO is worth, but the market is valuing today at $540MM while the market cap of LDP is about $850MM, I believe this is way too low, and the thread of LDP which is excellent contains a valuation indicating that it could be worth as much as $37. I believe there is a lot of room for profit here as well as a large margin for errors and miscalculations. I have taken a full position. The way I analyze things my assessment is that there has been significant institutional buying today and this may be a precursor of good things to come.
As always do your own dilligence and feel free to castigate this analysis. I reserve the right to be completely inaccurate and wrong, and I accept no responsibility for anyone losing money as a result of what I have posted here.
However if you do make money you can remember me in your prayers as I need all the help I can get.

>>We'll have to see what all this goes for, but this could drastically reshape the balance sheet and place a load of capital in the hands of the master allocator. <<<

I don't get it. How is Buffet going to be allocating this company's capital? Did I miss a press release?
