Steve - I like your addition of the BRK.A comparisons. I did not realize how good Buffet has done just is the last few years. It would be interesting to see his average for the last 25 years and see if your returns match that in the next 10 years. Good job on growing the portfolio. It just like tending a garden but you seem to be always planting more plants rather than pruning out the dead wood. Did you notice that Buffet acquired NVE a regional utility servicing Nevada and N. California? At least now when I pay my utility bills for the lake property, they go to Buffet shareholders. I gues I need to buy some of that BRK.A stock. EKS
