Berkshire is near all time highs because of investment in reinsurance...smart guy. I was impressed with the Templeton info, let me repeat the interview here. Finally, similar to his pioneering investments in 1960s Japan, Sir John is currently quite bullish on China. He reasons that the Chinese are thrifty and save 24 cents of every dollar they earn. This accrued capital will soon provide them money to be entrepreneurs and to invest in their nation. China, he states, now has the most favorable balance of trade it has ever had. Furthermore, the country has almost no national debt. "There are big reasons for thinking it would be good to invest in China," he concludes. he believes China will be the richest nation on earth

Remember today, a special day. For may Dad who flew B-17's over Germany, and at the same time on the other side of the world, for my Father-in-law who was landing on the beaches of Iwo Jima..... to be remembered, along with all the others who have served and are serving now, for their sacrifice, their courage, their commitment and love for their country, to keep this nation, the greatest nation on earth, to remain free. My Dad and Father-in-law are gone, but not forgotten by their family. Just think of the horror they had to go through. At the RR homestead, the flag flies 365 days a year, every day, every year. Thanks Dad. Thanks Dean, and to all the others.... Rick
