Wayne I get updates from time to time from a co-worker who owns some shares. From what he tells me, and from a little research I have done, it looks like a good long term investment. The company keeps its' capital for purchases and investments, and will never waste it by paying dividends. They also feel the markets are over - valued, so have taken much of their investments out of the market and purchased some puts on the S&P, so when the market corrects, their shareholders will be protected. Their Canadian profits were hurt last year due to the ice storm that hit Eastern Ontario and Quebec. As I said I haven't researched this company in detail, but I believe that Fairfax is a good company to invest in. Any information you have come across in your research would be greatly appreciated.
